"I ain't had time to get at 'em." "When you gonna get at 'em?" "Soon as I get time." "But lookit here, Judge. We're bein' delayed. We wanna get the Dales off their ranch soon as we can." "Off their ranch is shore the truth," struck in Racey. "You do tell it sometimes, don't you, Luke?" But Luke Tweezy was not to be drawn that morning. He focussed his eyes and attention steadily on Judge Dolan.
Cap, I thought I knowed somethin' about cooties, but I take it back I never knowed nothin' about them insecks till last night. Where they come from I dunno, but I'll tell the world they come, and if they wasn't half an inch long I'll eat 'em. They darn near dragged me off whole, and all the sleep I got ye could stick in a flea's eye. Lookit here." He extended an arm dotted with swollen red spots.
It lookit like's there was genna be a sale or a raffle or something. He gaed doon to supper Donal' i' the forenicht, an' I took a dander awa' doon ahent him, juist to get a moof'u' o' caller air. When I landit at the stable door I heard Sandy speakin' to somebody.
I didna believe that last, though, I'm tellin' ye I was sure that I'd be as well received in London as I had been in Birkenhead, could I but mak' a manager risk giving me a turn. Still I was nervous. The way it lookit to me, I had a' to gain and nothin' much tae lose. If I succeeded ah, then there were no bounds to the future I saw before me! Success in London is like no success in the provinces.
I don't think I was thinking onything, except a meenit syne, when I lookit up an' wished I was that laverock in the lift. 'But why? It is much nicer to be a girl, I think. Tell me, Lizzie, don't you feel stronger since you came here? I think you look it. 'I'm weel enough, responded Liz dully; 'an' it's a lovely place a lovely place. I'll never forget it, never as long as I live.
"Lookit here, Lanpher," said he, quietly, "don't you try to start nothin' that I'll have to finish. I know you from way back, you lizard, and outside of my regular work I ain't taking no orders from you. Don't gimme any more of yore lip." "Aw, I didn't mean nothing, Alicran. You ain't got any call to get het. I need you in the business." "Shore you do," Alicran declared, contemptuously.
Bishopriggs, with his eye fixed in uneasy expectation on Blanche, "it joost spak' trumpet-tongued when that winsome creature first lookit at me. Will it be she now that told ye of the wee bit sairvice I rendered to her in the time when I was in bondage at the hottle?" "Yes she told me herself." "Might I mak' sae bauld as to ask whar' she may be at the present time?" "I don't know, Mr. Bishopriggs.
To look at him you wudda thocht he was trailin' the band an' a' the sojers ahent him, he lookit that hard wrocht. He never saw me not him! His e'en were starin' fair afore him; he wudna kent his ain tattie cairt, I believe, he was that muckle taen up wi' his merchin'. He landit hame till his tea atween sax an' seven o'clock, stervin' o' cauld, but as happy's a cricket.
"Well," said Luke Tweezy. "Is it?" smiled Racey. "Have it yore own way, if you like. Lookit, Luke, you buy a lot of scrip now and then, don't you?" "Shore," nodded Luke. "Good big discount, I'll bet." "Why not? I ain't in business for my health. They's no law " "Of course there ain't. And yore mortgages, Luke. Do a good business in mortgages, don't you?" "So-so."
Ay, but stop a meenute, I wouldna wonder, no, really I would not wonder but what it'll be " "The very thing 'at was passin' through my head, mother." "Ye mean 'at the lad Wilkie 'll be to bide wi' the lawyer i'stead o' wi' Sam'l Duthie? Sal, am thinkin' that's it. Ye ken Sam'l an' the lawyer married on cousins; but Mistress Ogilvy ay lookit on Chirsty as dirt aneath her feet.
