Cadell's, it seemed a desert-like, back-going town, about half full of ruined houses; but the ale-house was clean, and Alan, who was now in a glowing heat, must indulge himself with a bottle of ale, and carry on to the new luckie with the old story of the cold upon his stomach, only now the symptoms were all different.
"I daresay ye are very right, father," was the general style of Jeanie's answer; "but ye maun come down to the Manse to your dinner the day. The bits o' bairns, puir things, are wearying to see their luckie dad; and Reuben never sleeps weel, nor I neither, when you and he hae had ony bit outcast." "Nae outcast, Jeanie; God forbid I suld cast out wi' thee, or aught that is dear to thee!"
Dinmont will protect you back to the house. 'No, said Meg, 'he must come with you; it is for that he is here. He maun take part wi' hand and heart; and weel his part it is, for redding his quarrel might have cost you dear. 'Troth, Luckie, it's very true, said the steady farmer; 'and ere I turn back frae the Captain's side I'll show that I haena forgotten 't.
"The gudewife says naething but what's true, maister," said Girder's foreman, who had come in during the fray. "I saw the Lord Keeper's servants drinking and driving ower at Luckie Sma'trash's, ower-bye yonder." "And is their maister up at Wolf's Crag?" said Girder. "Ay, troth is he," replied his man of confidence. "And friends wi' Ravenswood?"

"Guide us, Monkbarns! are things no dear eneugh already, but ye maun be raising the very fish on us, by giving that randy, Luckie Mucklebackit, just what she likes to ask?"
"Ye shall hae that for a tune of the pipes, Steenie," said the appearance of Sir Robert "play us up 'Weel Hoddled, Luckie."
'I cannot weel sleep, said the Laird, with the anxious feelings of a father in such a predicament, 'till I hear she's gotten ower with it; and if you, sir, are not very sleepery, and would do me and the Dominie the honour to sit up wi' us, I am sure we shall not detain you very late.

"I'm saying, Luckie," says he, when the goodwife returned, "have ye a back road out of this change house?" She told him there was and where it led to. "Then, sir," says he to me, "I think that will be the shortest road for us. And here's good-bye to ye, my braw woman; and I'll no forget thon of the cinnamon water." We went out by way of the woman's kale yard, and up a lane among fields.
