When his first pause of joy and astonishment was over, his thoughts turned to the unworthy heir-male, who, he pronounced, had sold his birthright, like Esau, for a mess o' pottage. 'But wha cookit the parritch for him? exclaimed the Bailie; 'I wad like to ken that; wha but your honour's to command, Duncan Macwheeble? His honour, young Mr.
