A huge foot shot out, there was a howl of anguish and astonishment, and Kerry went flying through the air as if shot from a catapult. "So!"

Weel, he stood for the space o' a meenute lookin' straucht at me, as if he would like to come forrit but dauredna, an' syne he turned an' strided awa ower the muir like a huntit thing.

"How long are ye going to keep me, then?" "I wadna hae ye bide a meenute langer nor 's agreeable to yersel'. But I 'm in nae hurry sae lang 's ye 're afore me.
