I canna tell ye hoo glad I am to see ye, for I've dune naething but thocht o' ye ever since yesterday, when I saw ye tak the brag oot o' Meikle Robin, just as easily as I would bend a willy-wand.

From Fyfe Bay we went round to Meikle Bay, where I visited all the villages, and was well received. Before landing I decided to walk inland, and see for myself if there was no arm of the sea running up at the back.
Few folk on earth ken meikle about her; but my mither swears that her mither maun hae been hanged, for she has a ring round her bonny white craig, like that on the neck o' the turtle doo. I laugh, an' say to the bonny bairn, that it will stan' in place o' a coral or cornelian necklace to her. Ha! ha! I see your leddyship's inclined to laugh too eh?"

No man makes his own hap. No penny, no pardon. Of the Earth mon the dike be biggit. Of other mens leather, men take large whangs. Over hot, over cold. Of two ills choose the least.

Some of my creditors said it was owre meikle that I had been simple and wronged mysel'. "'I would wish to the utmost o' my power to be honest, said I; 'and if I hae wronged mysel', I hae saved my conscience. If there be naething else left for me noo, as Burns says 'Heaven be thankit!

Ye micht as weel try to pass the Brig o' Dread, my Leddie. Yer bonnie body wad be fund a corpse wi' the mornin's licht, an' Cockburn, pardoned by the king maybe, micht greet owre't. Besides, ye should be here. A woman's voice turns awa meikle wrath." "Away, then, yourself, good Thomas! I believe your counsel is good. Heaven speed the message!
"Weel," resumed the crucifier, "Birkiehaugh didna succeed thanks to Peter Finlayson, honest fallow and the lassie is safe again; but I hae made a vow, and I hope sae gude a ane will be regularly recorded whar it should be, that the first person wha tries to lay sae meikle as a finger on that bonny bairn's head, or blaw a single breath o' suspicion against her reputation, will meet wi' the just indignation o' Geordie Willison.
