"It wudna be wise-like for us twa," exclaimed the beadle, "tae be stravagin' ower the country for three or fower days like wild geese, but the pairish micht expect something. Noo, a 've hed ma share o' a Presbytery an' a Synod, tae say naethin' o' Kirk Sessions, but a 've never seen an Assembly.
He rose with automatic courtesy, and shook hands with Herman. "How's the sick man getting on?" "Vera well vera well consederin' the mon is a complete worn-out that's all naethin' more. Thes floom-a-didale bezniss of rantin' away on the fear o' the Laird for sax weeks wull have worn out the frame of a bool-dawg." Herman and Chapman smiled. "I hope you'll tell him that."
"How does it feel now?" asked Margaret, when her task was over. "I shall be able to clout Donald with it in the morning," I answered. "Tat's petter," said he, grinning with delight. "I'm thinkin' I'd suner be dinged wi' 'er again than see 'er hinging there daein' naethin'." He took Bimbo off to the camp-fire and left us alone.
"There isn't a room upstairs but what's full o' Muster Melrose's things. Yo' mun do wi' this, or naethin'." Undershaw submitted, and Faversham's bearers gently laid him down, spreading their coats on the bare floor to receive him, till a bed could be found.
"But Saunders hes been fillin' his lungs for five and thirty year wi' strong Drumtochty air, an' eatin' naethin' but kirny aitmeal, and drinkin' naethin' but fresh milk frae the coo, an' followin' the ploo through the new-turned sweet-smellin' earth, an' swingin' the scythe in haytime and harvest, till the legs an' airms o' him were iron, an' his chest wes like the cuttin' o' an oak tree.
"A' see naethin' tae excuse," insisted Jamie, who was in great fettle that Sabbath; "the doctor hes never been burdened wi' fees, and a'm judgin' he coonted a wumman's gratitude that he saved frae weedowhood the best he ever got."
The place is foo' o' men tae say naethin' o' weemin; but it's little she hes tae dae wi' them or them wi' her officers frae Edinburgh an' writin' men frae London, as weel as half a dozen coonty birkies." "Well?" said Carmichael, despising himself for his curiosity.
'I ken naethin' aboot that, retorted the other, bringing his gaze down from the ceiling to rest upon the swag-bellied green bottle on the table beside him. 'It's gettin' on intil the "wee sma' hours ayont the twal," he added; 'ye mun hae a "deoch-an-doruis" afore startin' "aff."
Ye'll not learn ye've learnt naethin' except disobedience to me ye shall stop at hame and work." His father's rare emotion, his broken voice and working face, moved David as all the stripes and jeers had failed to do. His conscience smote him. For the first time in his life it dimly dawned on him that, perhaps, his father, too, had some ground for complaint; that, perhaps, he was not a good son.
Weel, Sandy had been speakin' aboot his fairntickles to Saunders Robb. Saunders, in my opinion, is juist a haiverin' auld ass. He's a hoddel-dochlin', hungert-lookin' wisgan o' a cratur; an', I'm shure, he has a mind to match his body. There's naethin' he disna ken aboot an', the fac' is, he kens naething. He's aye i' the wey o' improvin' ither fowk's wark.
