Peter Logan and Francis Watt, foremen, counting in all twenty-five; and matters were arranged for proceeding to Arbroath this afternoon with all hands.
The French burrs which Tibbald preferred come over in fragments, and these are carefully fitted together and stuck with plaster of Paris. Such work required great nicety: the old millwright was, in fact, a kind of artist in his handicraft.

The millwright rose. 'If that's where the squire lives I'm going to call. Just arrived from Canady with her fortune ha, ha! I wish no harm to the gennleman, and the gennleman will wish no harm to me.
