Weel then, since you havena paid me ony wages, an' I can prove day and date when I was hired, an' came hame to your service, will you be sae kind as to pay me now? That's the best way o' curing a man o' the mortal disease o' leasing-making that I ken o'." "I should think that Penpunt and Cameronian principles would not admit of a man taking twice payment for the same article."
