"Mony's the time she's hauden me up whan I was ready to sink." "The Lord reward her!" responded the laird. All sicknesses are like aquatic plants of evil growth: their hour comes, and they wither and die, and leave the channels free. Life returns in slow, soft ripples at first, but not the less in irresistible tide, and at last in pulses of mighty throb through every pipe.
My father was a Hieland farmer, and yet he was a weel learned man: and 'Sandy, my lad, he used to say, 'a man kens just as much as he's taught himsel', and na mair. So get wisdom; and wi' all your getting, get understanding. And so I did. And mony's the Greek exercise I've written in the cowbyres.
Mony's the gliff I got mysel' in the great deep; and why the Lord should hae made yon unco water is mair than ever I could win to understand. He made the vales and the pastures, the bonny green yaird, the halesome, canty land And now they shout and sing to Thee, For Thou hast made them glad, as the Psalms say in the metrical version.
Ye ken neither horrse nor cattle. Mony's the time ye never rode buckjumpers, Mr. Billy" and with this parting-shot the old man turned into the house, and White-when-he's-wanted came back to the head station. For a while he was a sort of pariah. He used to yard the horses, fetch up the cows, and hunt travelling sheep through the run.
It was a woful sight to me, a widow, with four bonnie boys, with nought to support them but these twa hands, and God's blessing, and a cow's grass. I have never liked to live out of sight of this bay since that time; and mony's the moonlight night I sit looking on these watery mountains and these waste shores; it does my heart good, whatever it may do to my head.
''Cause mony's the time I hae stud oot there i' the street, hearkenin'. Dooble Sanny says 'at ye play jist as gin ye war my gran'father's fiddle hersel', turned into the bonniest cratur ever God made. 'How did you get such a terrible cut? She had removed the hair, and found that the injury was severe. The boy was silent. She glanced round in his face.
But, troth, what wi' the rheumatics, an' an' the din o' the rottans, we s' ca' 't, mony's the nicht I gang to nae bed ava'; an' to hae the yoong laird sleepin' i' my bed, an' me keepin' watch ower 'im,'ill be jist like haein' an angel i' the hoose to luik efter. I'll be somebody again for ae nicht, I can tell ye!
"In ye go, my beauties," said Swankie, covering them up. "Mony's the time I've buried ye." "Ay, an' mony's the time ye've helped at their resurrection," added Spink, with a laugh. "Noo, we'll away an' have a look at the kegs in the Forbidden Cave," said Swankie, "see that they're a' richt, an' then have our game wi' the land-sharks."
It was a braw spring morn, and Tam whustled as he claught in the young geese. Mony's the time I've heard him tell of this experience, and aye the swat ran upon the man. It chanced, ye see, that Tam keeked up, and he was awaur of a muckle solan, and the solan pyking at the line. He thocht this by- ordinar and outside the creature's habits.
Bide-a-Wee Cottage, Pettybaw, East Neuk o' Fife. To my trusty fieres, Mony's the time I hae ettled to send ye a screed, but there was aye something that cam' i' the gait. It wisna that I couldna be fashed, for aften hae I thocht o' ye and my hairt has been wi' ye mony's the day.
