The features of the stern old man relaxed.
I thought you had our orders concerning him. See they are better obeyed in future." And, when the young knight would have spoken, he interrupted him by an imperious gesture, crying out, "Not a word, Sir! not a word! We will hear naught mair frae ye. We hae heard ower meikle already." And he passed on. Thus was Mounchensey's disgrace accomplished by his enemies.
Their siller will do as meikle for ye as their custom. Take a woman's advice for once, and remember, that, 'short accounts make long friends. Look ye after your money. But I had not her turn for doing things. I could not be so sharp wi' folk, had it been to save my life. I never could affront onybody in my days.

But the poor beast had had sae meikle experience wi' me, that it knawed what I meant by a wink as weel as a nod.
In that torment they held the poor man, till that often he cried for God's sake to dispatch him; for he had as meikle gold in his awin purse as would buy powder enough to shorten his pain.

In Paris, the Germans and the English are more numerous than any other foreigners. The former toil, drudge, save their littles to make a meikle.
