'The days are ower short, that's the only fault they hae. Efter we get oor supper, what wad ye say to gang roond to Colquhoun Street and see Wat, to tell him we're gaun to Bourhill? 'No, I'm no' gaun. He micht say we werena to gang. I say, Teen, he's in love wi' her. Onybody can see it in his e'e when he speaks aboot her.
He's been sae lang disused til a wan'erin life, that I doobt it mayna weel agree wi' him; and I maun awa' back to Deemooth, gien I can get onybody to gie me a lift." "Na, na; that'll never dee," returned Maggie, with a sob. "My father'll be glaid eneuch to keep him; only we hae nae richt ower him, and ye maun hae him again whan ye wull." "Ye see I hae nae place to tak him til!" pleaded Isy.
"A fine lad! a fine lad!" said the soutar aloud to himself, as he resumed the work for a moment interrupted," but no clear no crystal-clear no clear like the Son o' Man!" He looked up, and saw his daughter in the doorway. "No a word, lassie!" he cried. "I'm no for ye this meenute. No a word to me aboot onything or onybody the day, but what's absolute necessar!"
What gien we never see 'im again! Eh, sirs! it's a terrible thing to be made sae contrairy! What'll come o' me in the neist warl', it wad be hard for onybody to say!"

"I didna ken ye had onybody up the stair. Wha's Mr Cupples?" "Weel, he kens that best himsel! But he's a gey queer ane. He's a terrible scholar though, fowk says gran' at the Greek, and rael bonny on the mathewmawtics. "I'm easy fleyt," said Alec, with a laugh. "But I wad like to see him." "Gang up, than, and chap at the garret door upo' yer left han'."
"Ye may go to bathe if ye like, Jock, and Cosh may go with ye, and if he's drowned it'll be no loss, nor, for that matter, if the half of ye are carried down the river. For myself, I'm going to the mathematical class, and if onybody meddles wi' Byles I'll fight him in the back yard in the dinner-hour for half a dozen stone-gingers." "Is there onything wrang with your head, Speug?"
Gin onybody speaks to me aboot Captain MacKay being made a colonel, I'll give him to understand that my master was offered the post and declined to take it for special reasons o' his own; maybe because ye wanted to stay wi' the gentlemen volunteers, and maybe because there was a grand position waitin' for ye in Scotland.
He hesitated. "Ye didna loe me eneuch," said Aggie, looking up in his face. "Aggie," returned Cosmo, "I'm ready to merry ye the morn gien ye'll hae me!" "There noo!" exclaimed Aggie, in a sort of provoked triumph, "didna I tell ye! There ye are, duin' 't a' ower again! Wasna I richt? Ye're fit to tak care o' onybody but yersel' an' the lass 'at wad fain hae ye!
Sae yer gran'father, no 'at he was feart at 'im, for Is' be bun' he never was feart afore the face o' man, but jest no wullin' to anger his ain kin, an' maybe no willin' onybody sud say he was a respecter o' persons, heeld his tongue an' said nae mair, an' the markis hed the second best bed, for he sleepit in Glenwarlock's ain."
"Me opened!" answered the spouse of the chief baker of Fairport; "ye ken yoursell, madam, it just cam open o' free will in my hand what could I help it? folk suld seal wi' better wax." "Weel I wot that's true, too," said Mrs. Mailsetter, who kept a shop of small wares, "and we have got some that I can honestly recommend, if ye ken onybody wanting it.
