'Here's yin to speak wi' ye, Mr. Haddie! cries the old wife. And M'Brair, opening the door and entering, found the little, round, red man seated in one chair and his feet upon another.

"Be damned if I stand this!" exclaimed Haddo, casting his tobacco-pipe violently on the table, where it was smashed in pieces. "Out of my house with ye, or I'll call for the dragoons." "The speerit of the Lord is upon me," said M'Brair with solemn ecstasy. "I sist you to compear before the Great White Throne, and I warn you the summons shall be bloody and sudden."
"There is nae Bible in your study," said M'Brair severely. And Haddo, after a few distracted turns, was constrained to accept the fact. "Weel, and suppose there isna?" he cried, stamping.

For the conventicles, let be! and the same for yon solemn fule, M'Brair: I can blink at them. But she's got to come to the kirk, Montroymont." "Dinna speak of it," says the laird. "I can do nothing with her." "Couldn't ye try the stick to her? it works wonders whiles," suggested Haddo. "No? I'm wae to hear it. And I suppose ye ken where you're going?" "Fine!" said Montroymont.
