"Say on man, in the devil's name but take heed beg not here were it but for the rinds of cheese, the refuse of the rats, or a morsel that my dogs would turn from neither a grain of meal, nor the nineteenth part of a gray groat, will I give to any feigned limmer of thy coat,"
"Rob Roy," he said, "though a kittle neighbour to the Low Country, and particularly obnoxious to his Grace, and though he maybe carried the catheran trade farther than ony man o' his day, was an auld-farrand carle, and there might be some means of making him hear reason; whereas his wife and sons were reckless fiends, without either fear or mercy about them, and, at the head of a' his limmer loons, would be a worse plague to the country than ever he had been."

The weary woman almost said she did, but her arms they gripped the baby as if frightened that he had sent for it.
