"It wad soon' queer eneuch, my lord, nae doobt; but fowk maunna min' the soon' o' a thing gien 't be a' straucht an' fair, an' strong eneuch to stan'. They cudna lauch me oot o' my richts, be they 'at they likit Lady Bellair, or ony o' them na, nor jaw me oot o' them aither!" "They might do a good deal to render those rights of little use," said the marquis.
He's behaved ill eneuch wantin that lattin a gowk o' a lassie like you believe what ye likit, and him only carryin on wi' ye for the ploy o' 't, haeing naething to du, and sick o' his ain toom heid and still toomer hert; but a man's word's his word, and Francie's no sae ill as your tale wud mak him!

"Ye likit the sermon the day, Mr Cupples." "What gars ye think that?" "I saw ye takin' notes a' the time." "Gleg-eed mole!" said Mr Cupples. "Luik at the notes as ye ca' them." "Eh! it's a sang!" exclaimed Alec with delight.
"No, mother; there's no fear o' that, as lang's the laird or Miss Lexy's to the fore. They tret me I winna say like ane o' themsel's, but as if they would hae likit me for ane o' themsel's, gien it had pleased the Lord to sen' me their way instead o' yours.

We gaed frae Paris to the auld hame in Ettrick, an' 'twas like gae'n to Abraham's bosom frae the ither place.
