Luckie Howatson is very expeditious.
Here, hark ye, waiter, go down to Luckie Wood's in the Cowgate; ye'll find my clerk Driver; he'll be set down to high jinks by this time for we and our retainers, Colonel, are exceedingly regular in our irregularities tell him to come here instantly and I will pay his forfeits. 'He won't appear in character, will he? said Mannering. 'Ah! "no more of that, Hal, an thou lovest me," said Pleydell.
"Oot by here," he answert, "at Luckie Maitlan's." "That's a queer place for a baron to put up, Jock," says I. "There's rizzons," says he, an' lays his forefinger upo' the side o' 's nose, o' whilk there was hardly eneuch to haud it ohn gane intil the opposit ee.

She wanted some melted lead and sundry other charms, but they were not forthcoming. I told her I would call her Luckie, and not Lucy." During the autumn the Princess of Prussia, who was on a visit to her aunt, Queen Adelaide, went to Windsor Castle, where Madame Bunsen met her.
