She was a loser to the tune of seventy dollars, and while she wrote her check to Marie Littlejohn, a tiny blond exotic not much older than herself, who laid down the law with the ripe authority of a Cabinet Minister and kept to a daily time-table with the unalterable effrontery of a fashionable doctor, talked over her shoulder to Christine Hurley.
Say what you will, mute diplomacy is not without its effect. At it I went, in a style that put French dancing entirely into the shade.

"I calmly intimated that he might be right, but inquired if he ever knew a Yankee out-yankeed?
"Well, Edie, as the bouncing and thumping beneath has somewhat ceased, I presume Bailie Littlejohn has dismissed his military preceptor, and has retired from the labours of Mars to those of Themis I will have some conversation with him But I cannot and will not believe any of those wretched news you were telling me."

Mr. Littlejohn complied by renting his tobacco barn for regular services. He received 1000 lbs. of tobacco a year for its rent.
"Let us," said Bailie Littlejohn, "take the horses into our warehouses, and the men into our parlours share our supper with the one, and our forage with the other. We have made ourselves wealthy under a free and paternal government, and now is the time to show we know its value."
This is a history of Scotland, and it was written for his grandson John Hugh Lockhard, or Hugh Littlejohn as he is called in The Tales. "I will make," said Scott, "if possible, a book that a child shall understand, yet a man shall feel some temptation to peruse should he chance to take it up."
