So we said nae mair for some time; but he keepit walking by my side, and at last he said 'What do ye think o' this posie? 'It is very bonny, James, said I. 'I think sae, quoth he; 'and if ye will accept it, there should naebody be mair welcome to it. 'Ou, I thank ye, said I, and I blushed in a way 'why should ye gie me it? 'Never mind, says he, 'tak it for auld acquaintance sake we were at the school together.
I didn't like new notions, and I never did like new notions, and I never see much good of 'em; but I suppose there's some on 'em that aint moonshine my woman says there is, and I suppose there is, and after this clover hay I'm willin' to allow that there is. It's as sweet as a posie if you smell to it and all of it's cured alike; and I think, Fleda, there's a quarter more weight of it.

Every one will have his testimony to raise against it, and I should get cross."
"She couldn't grow handsomer than she was before," said the old grandmother, hugging and kissing her little grand-daughter with great delight; "the sweetest posie in the garden she always was!" Mr. Van Brunt looked as if he entirely agreed with the old lady. That, while it made some amends for Miss Fortune's dryness, perhaps increased it.
Never a day, says she, 'but what I set here every minute that I can spare and watch over them palin's for Posie. She went away down that road in the night, for we seen her little shoe tracks in the dust, and somethin' tells me she'll come back that way ag'in when she's weary of the world and begins to think about her old mother.
"Aren't you lucky, Cash! Don't you want to exchange with me? I'll give you a delicious orange I brought with my lunch for that posie." Cash shook her head. As soon as she could, she stole away to the room where the girls kept their cloaks and hats.

Billy Potter’s going to stay here in Boston and help you. You’re to call on him, Posie, if you get into any snarl.
The church stands about midway up the street, and is built of red freestone, very simple in its architecture, with a square tower and pinnacles. In this sacred edifice, and its churchyard, was the scene of one of Burns's most characteristic productions, "The Holy Fair."
