"It was michty tae see him come intae the yaird that day, neeburs; the verra look o' him wes victory."

No one sent for MacLure save in great straits, and the sight of him put courage in sinking hearts.
The Thrums folk wondered less at your taking it than at your no keeping it. It's said to be michty grand." "It was rather like the one the minister's wife gave him," said Babbie. "The minister has neither a wife nor a cloak," retorted Nanny. "He isn't married?" asked Babbie, the picture of incredulity.
Pennycuick, noo," said Hendry, shaking his head in wonder at what he had to tell; "him 'at's minister at Tilliedrum. Weel, when he was a probationer he was michty poor, an' one day he was walkin' into Thrums frae Glen Quharity, an' he tak's a rest at a little housey on the road. The fowk didna ken him ava, but they saw he was a minister, an' the lassie was sorry to see him wi' sic an auld hat.

"She wes sleepin' on the top o' her bed wrapped in a plaid, fair worn oot wi' three weeks' nursin' o' Saunders, but at the first touch she was oot upon the floor.
Wha kens hoo mony may gang to the boddom afore it be dune, jist for the want o' 't?" "The fundation maun be laid in richteousness, though, mem, else what gien 't war to save lives better lost?" "That belangs to the Michty," said Miss Horn. "Ay, but the layin' o' the fundation belangs to me. An' I'll no du't till I can du't ohn ruint my sister."
Mealy pudding, a Scotch dish made of oatmeal and suet, in form something like a sausage. Michty me, an exclamation. Na, no, not. Pawky, sly. Pewit, the lapwing, a species of plover. Each clan had its own especial pattern which was worn by all members. Redding up, putting in order. Sal, an exclamation. Scone, a flat cake, unsweetened, baked on a griddle.
