No one knows how much Sandy's conduct has made poor Mr. Scott suffer."

"You mark my words, now jist mark my words that man's goin' to meet a judgment some day.
"Ah'd be a fool onyway, if Ah let a wumman scare me the way you did, John. Ah, ha! Here's his reverence now, comin' to tell ye about Muskoky, very like. Ah'll jist be biddin' ye a good-evenin'."
