An' I'm not daft, am I, till I begin to paint the Lammergeyer? Eh, McPhee? Ye may weel lift your leg, Dandie!
When Thompson had stepped awkwardly aboard and seated himself amidships, they lifted on the canoe and slid it gently off the shingle, leaped to their places fore and aft and gave way. A hundred yards off shore they lifted the dripping paddles in mute adieu to old Donald McPhee, smoking his pipe at the gable end of his cabin. MacLeod watched the gray canoe slip past the first point.
Jo! The cries travelled the whole length of the lead, like a salute of musketry. Mike came up the rope, hand over hand. 'A license-hunt, he said. 'Now you'll see how these gaol warders amuse themselves. 'What are we supposed to do? 'Have your license handy. Show it to Huntsman McPhee, and keep your hands off his hounds. Mr.
'She'll be worth more than the Breslau. We'll go down to her, McPhee! "'Bide a while, I said. 'The seas fair throng wi' ships here. "'Reason why, said Bell. 'It's a fortune gaun beggin'.

McPhee's enemies were mine, and I was drinking his Madeira. "Ye've heard nothing?" said Janet. "Not a word, not a whisper?" "Not a word, nor a whisper. On my word, I have not."

'Run him down! shouted McPhee, furious after the indignities that had been put upon his high office.
Professionally it was different when crazy steerage-passengers jumped overboard professionally, McPhee does not approve of saving life at sea, and he has often told me that a new Hell awaits stokers and trimmers who sign for a strong man's pay and fall sick the second day out.
'He has no license, sergeant. Run him in! said McPhee. 'Sure, Commissioner dear, what'd I be doin' wid a license whin I'm only a woman?
