"I wullna tell," Geordie reassured him.
"Is' warran' her ohn gane to the schuil ohn speirt in at the Castle the first thing i' the mornin', an' seein' gien the laird had ony eeran' to the toon.

"Somebody tellt me ye was tryin' yer han' at algebra."
"The blood o' your sister's son," replied Edie, "was on his hands, and him maybe dead outright what time had he to take counsel? or how could he ask it of you, by onybody?" "You are right. But what if Dousterswivel had come before you?"

"Ted, it's rale cruel o' thee to play an innicent trustin' lass sich a trick." "I reckon Margaret Hep. can take care of herself," put in Mrs. Jack. "Hoo can keep her e'en oppen as weel's onybody. I don't know but what it 'ull be Ted as 'ull ha' to pay for th' nine-gallon cask. Ye'd best be savin' up your brass, Ted, for we wunnot give no credit for 't."
