I delivered and received stunning blows. Dust, long undisturbed, rose, and blinded us. How many a gallant fray has been broken up by a screaming woman! Now Mary Ellen, true to the perversity of her sex, rushed in to separate us. "Oh, losh! I never seen the beat o' ye!" she cried. "Ye've scairt me out av a year's growth!
"Losh!" cried McLeod; "he's gaun' to fecht us!" and he dropped the cord, grabbed the levers, and threw the steam off and the brakes on hard. The heavy train slid groaning and jarring along the track. The moose never stirred. The fire smoldered in his small narrow eyes. His black crest was bristling.
'Present my compliments to Madame, said Vandeloup, quickly, 'and I will wait on her as soon as possible. 'Losh save us, laddie, said McIntosh, irritably, 'you're as fu' o' fine wards as a play-actor. Have ye seen onything doon in this pit o' Tophet o' the bairn that rin away? 'Oh, Miss Marchurst! said Vandeloup, smoothly, ready with a lie at once.
I did not see the poor old man and his sack until he sank down all of a heap in the lighted inn. And Yon the blacksmith was there; and the carpenter, Willie Losh; and Jackers, the postman's son. And they gave him a glass of beer. And the old man drank it up, still hugging his emeralds.
'It's a' the weicht o' my muckle feet! he cried, as he dragged one of the troublesome members out of a hole. 'Losh, I dinna ken hoo far it michtna hae gane doon gien I hadna gotten a haud o' 't in time and pu'd it oot! How much of humour, how much of silliness, and how much of truth were wrapt up together in some of the things he said, it was impossible to determine.
"A smile, they ca' it," interposed T'nowhead. "I said a smile," continued Tammas. "Then there's her waist. I say naething agin her waist, speakin' in the ord'nar meanin'; but, conseedered critically, there's a want o' suppleness, as ye micht say, aboot it. "That was a pretty tiddy," said Hookey, "Ou, losh, ay! it made me a kind o' queery to look at her."
He clenched his hands with that feeling of resolve that comes over a man when he has made up his mind to fight. Just then an exclamation of surprise escaped from his comrade. "Losh! man, what have we here?" he cried, picking up a small object that glittered in the light.
You see, I never expected it, as you did!" "Weel, ye are hertless, Jeernie!" exclaimed his father.

Is't possible she's gaein to slip frae oor hand yet?"
While the travellers were in the midst of this, and ere yet their tongues were fairly loosened, a loud unearthly shout rang with appalling reverberations among the surrounding cliffs, causing the entire party to start up and rush for their arms. Again the cry was heard. "Ah! bad skran to ye, Losh! Hould on, Moses, ye fat villain.
His normal state is doing wrong and being scolded from morning till night for going out without his breakfast, for not cleaning his boots when he comes in, for spoiling chairs by sitting on them with wet clothes, for spilling his tea on the tablecloth, for going away to market with a dusty coat, for visiting the stable with his Sunday coat, for not speaking at all to visitors, for saying things he ought n't when he does speak till the long-suffering man, raked fore and aft, rushes from the house in desperation, and outside remarks to himself, by way of consolation, 'Losh keep 's! there 's nae livin' wi' her the day; her tongue 's little better than a threshing-mill. His confusion, however, is neither deep nor lasting, and in a few minutes he has started for a round of the farm in good heart, once or twice saying 'Sall' in a way that shows a lively recollection of his wife's gifts."
