"We daurna fling 't i' the fire. "Na, na. Lat ye 't sit," returned Mr Cupples. "I wad be clean affrontit gin I cudna see and forbear. Ye may jist pit it into the press though. A body needna lay burdens grievous to be borne upo' himsel' mair nor upo' ither fowk. Noo, lat's hae a game o' cribbage, to haud's ohn thocht aboot it." They played two or three games.
Supposin' she was weel merried first, hoo wad she stan' wi' her man whan he cam to ken 'at she was nae marchioness hed no lawfu' richt to ony name but her mither's? An' afore that, what richt cud I ha'e to alloo ony man to merry her ohn kent the trowth aboot her? Faith, it wad be a fine chance though for the fin'in' oot whether or no the man was worthy o' her!
'Afraid, sir! he rejoined with some surprise, 'I wad ill like to hear the Lord say, O thou o' little faith! 'But, I persisted, 'God may mean to drown you! 'An' what for no? he returned. 'Gien ye war to tell me 'at I micht be droon't ohn him meant it, I wad be fleyt eneuch. I see your ladyship does not understand: I will interpret the dark saying: 'And why should he not drown me?
Ye're walcome hame, my bonnie lass. Ye ken I aye keep the wee closet ready for ony o' ye 'at micht come ohn expeckit." Nicie, however, had not long to occupy the closet, for those of her breed were in demand in the country.

When we offered Moung Ohn some money for his trouble he refused to take it, and went away saying good-bye so gracefully, bowing and touching his forehead with his hand. In every long journey there comes a time when one feels a little dreary. So many new things have been seen that the mind and eye are tired.
"Cosmo, we're ower lang ohn thankit. Come here, my son; gang down upo' yer knees, an lat's say to the Lord what we're thinkin'." Cosmo obeyed, and knelt at his father's knee, and his father laid his hand upon his head that so they might pray more in one.
"Then ye can pairt wi' the auld hoose ohn grutten?" "As easy, father, as wi' a piece whan I wasna hungry.

"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."
It was quite a long way, as he had said, but it was so beautiful we wanted to dance and jump all the time. Moung Ohn scolded off the beastly pariah dogs and led us out of the hole in the great stockade and through a grove of palms. He pointed to two different sorts, one was the usual kind, feathery, and coco-nuts grew on that.
It hauds ye ohn lippent ower muckle, an' sae dune things or made remarks 'at wad be misread till ye. Ye maun haud an open ro'd, 'at the trowth whan it comes oot may have free course.
