He wasna ill-willy, as the bairns say. But the doctor had some sair wark, I thoucht, to mak that oot, seein' we war a' the children o' wrath, accordin' to him, born in sin, and inheritin' the guilt o' Adam's first trespass. I dinna think Dr. Soulis cud say that God had dune the best he cud for 's. But he never tried to say onything like that.
Here Jenny began to whimper; Cuddie writhed himself this way and that way, the very picture of indecision. At length he broke out, "Weel, woman, canna ye tell us what we suld do, without a' this din about it?" "Just do naething at a'," said Jenny. "Never seem to ken onything about this gentleman, and for your life say a word that he suld hae been here, or up at the house!
"The Forbidden Cave!" almost howled Swankie. "Wha iver heard o' smugglers hidin' onything there? The air in't wad pushen a rotten." "Perhaps it would, yet I mean to try." "Weel-a-weel, ye may try, but ye might as weel seek for kegs o' gin on the Bell Rock." "Ha! it's not the first time that strange things have been found on the Bell Bock," said Ruby suddenly.
Ye hae no business to ken o' onything wrang in a body's hoose, an' no tell them forbye 'at he pat ye in chairge. But it 'll du naething for the laird; for what cares the markis for onything or onybody but himsel'?" "He cares for 's dauchter," said Malcolm.

"Seems an awful pity to kill him," said Dannie. "People rave over the lark, but I vow I'd miss the quail most if they were both gone. They are getting scarce." "Well, I didn't say I was going to kill the whole flock," said Jimmy. "I was just going to kill a few for Mary, and if I don't, somebody else will." "Mary dinna need onything better than ane of her own fried chickens," said Dannie.
"An' I doobt she wadna be far wrang." "Ony gait, she kens nae mair aboot you nor ye ken aboot the maister. Ca' ye a man wha cares for naething in h'aven or in earth but the wull o' 's Creator ca' ye sic a man no speeritual? Jist gang ye till 'im, an' maybe he'll lat in a glent upo' ye 'at 'll astonish ye." "He's taen unco little enterest in onything 'at was gaein' on."

But a voice from quite other lips came over the rising background of scrub and tangled thicket. "Gang on coortin'," it said; "I'm no lookin', an' I canna see onything onyway." It was Jock Gordon. He continued: "Jock Scott's gane hame till his breakfast. He'll no bother ye this mornin', sae coort awa'." WINSOME and Ralph laughed, but Winsome sat up and put straight her sunbonnet.

For town here, in ta curset Lowlands, ta sight has peen almost cone from her, my son. It will now pe no more as a co creeping troo' her, and shell nefer see plain no more till she'll pe come pack to her own mountains."
