Let us return to the simple faith in direct observation that made English science supreme in Europe. And may the Lord gi'e us Britons a guid conceit o' oorsel's! Strange that the wealthiest class in the wealthiest country in the world should so long have been content to inhabit a squalid village! I'm not going to compare London, as Englishmen often do, with Paris or Vienna.
"But am dootin' ye're a fell billy wi' the lasses." "Ay, oh, I d'na kin; moderate, moderate," said Sam'l, in high delight. "I saw ye," said Eppie, speaking with a wire in her mouth, "gaein' on terr'ble wi' Mysy Haggart at the pump last Saturday." "We was juist amoosin' oorsel's," said Sam'l. "It'll be nae amoosement to Mysy," said Eppie, "gin ye brak her heart."
That you must leave to him, and do what he tells you. There will be no fear of the saving then though it 's not an easy matter even for him, as has been sorely proved."

"Ye see, my lord gien it be sae I maun ca' ye, an' Ma'colm seems to ken we're like by oorsel's for the present, an' we're but a rouch set o' fowk for such like 's yer lordship to haud word o' mou' wi'; but gien it wad please ye to come ower the gait ony time i' the evenin', an' tak yer share o' what's gauin', ye sud be walcome, an' we wad coont it a great honour frae sic 's yer lordship."
It's eneuch to me 'at I'll be i' the hoose o' my Maister's father; an' my Maister was weel content to gang to that hoose; an' it maun be something by ordinar' 'at was fit for him. But puir simple fowk like oorsel's 'ill hae no need to hing down the heid an' luik like gowks 'at disna ken mainners.
