"Well said, Mr. Campbell," answered the landlord; "I did not think thoud'st been sae near us, mon. But thou kens I'm an outspoken Yorkshire tyke. And how go markets in the south?" "Even in the ordinar," replied Mr. Campbell; "wise folks buy and sell, and fools are bought and sold."
"I, Master Mungo! Faith, not I!" Mungo looked incredulous. "And what ails the ladyship, for she kent? I'll swear she kent the next day, though I took guid care no' to say cheep." "I daresay you are mistaken there, my good Mungo." "Mistaken! No me! It wasna a' thegither in a tantrum o' an ordinar' kind she broke her tryst wi' him the very nicht efter ye left for the inns doon by.
Weel, as he cam ower the wast end o' the Black Hill, ae day, he saw first twa, an syne fower, an' syne seeven corbie craws fleein' round an' round abune the auld kirkyaird. They flew laigh and heavy, an' squawked to ither as they gaed; and it was clear to Mr. Soulis that something had put them frae their ordinar.
Now, isna that a queer affair! My feth, but they maun hae managed matters unco cannily and cunningly; for deil a bit o' me ever could see the least inklin o' anything past ordinar between them." "You see onything o' that kind!" replied Mrs Adair, with an expression of the greatest contempt for her husband's penetration in affaires de coeur. "You see't, Robin! No I dare say no.
that for a minister to enter another minister's parish, and preach or administer the seals of the Covenant, without the consent of, or in opposition to the set tied minister of the parish, is disorderly, notwithstanding if a considerable number of the people in the parish are desirous to hear another minister preach, provided the same be orthodox, and sound in the faith and not notoriously faulty in censuring other persons, or guilty of any scandal, we think it ordinar rily advisable for the minister of the parish to gratify them by giving his consent upon their suitable application to him for it, unless neighboring ministers advise him to the contrary.
The wa's are a' doon noo, an' the gates no' here ony mair, but we hae the keys, an' we mak' a show o' gien' 'em to veesitors wha are vera grand or wise or gude, or juist usefu' by the ordinar'." "Maister Gladstane," said Tammy.
"Wha was that?" asked his wife. "Ow! it was naebody but Jeames Johnston, wantin' a bit o' flannin for's wife's coatie." "And what had he to say 'at keepit ye till yer tay's no fit to drink?" "Ow! my tay'll do weel eneuch. It's nae by ordinar' cauld." "But what said he?" "Weel! hm! hm! He said it was fine frosty weather." "Ay, nae doobt! He kent that by the way the shuttle flew. Was that a'?"
"Wine merchant frae Bordeaux!" he cried. "I've seen a hantle o' them hereaboots at the fish-curin' season, but they cam' in gabbarts to French Foreland, and it wasnae usual for them to hae Coont to their names nor whingers to their hips. It was mair ordinar the ink-horn at their belts and the sporran at their groins."
"Here's the bit dog I was tellin' ye aboot; an' see for yersel' what he's done noo." "The wee beastie couldna do a' that! It's as muckle as his ain wecht in fou' vermin!" she cried. "Ay, he did. Thae terriers are sperity, by the ordinar'. Ane o' them, let into the corn exchange a murky nicht, killed saxty in ten meenits, an' had to be dragged awa' by the tail.
Lord help us, it's no an ordinar grave that will haud her in, if a's true that folk said of Alice in her auld days; and if I gae to six feet deep and a warlock's grave shouldna be an inch mair ebb, or her ain witch cummers would soon whirl her out of her shroud for a' their auld acquaintance and be't six feet, or be't three, wha's to pay the making o't, I pray ye?"
