"Save us a'! Ye 're no wise, minister. There's nae black man in a' Ba'weary." But she didna speak plain, ye maun understand; but yam-yammered, like a powny wi' the bit in its moo. "Weel," says he, "Janet, if there was nae black man, I have spoken with the Accuser of the Brethren." And he sat down like ane wi' a fever, an' his teeth chittered in his heid.
At last she appeared to think she must take mercy on him: he used to say thirty words to her one! 'That's a bonny powny ye hae, she remarked, with a look at the creature as he fed. 'He's a' that, he answered dryly. 'Whaur did ye get him? she asked. He prided himself on being able to speak the broadest of the dialect.
But never mind we will state the true one to the Barons, and that is all that is necessary." "I incline to send off an express to-night," said the Baronet. "I can recommend your honour to a sure hand," said Ochiltree; "little Davie Mailsetter, and the butcher's reisting powny." "We will talk over the matter as we go to Monkbarns," said Sir Arthur.
"He's a gude creature," said she, "and a kind it's a pity he has sae willyard a powny."

'Ye canna du better nor weel; jist begin again. 'I had coft her a bonny cairriage, wi' as fine a pair as ever ye saw, Kirsty, as I daursay yer father has telled ye. And they warna lost upon her, for she had aye a gleg ee for a horse. Ye min' yon powny? And up til yesterday, a' gaed weel, till I was thinkin I cud trust her onygait.
But I'll no need your callant, mony thanks to ye I'll send little Davie on your powny, and that will be just five-and- threepence to ilka ane o' us, ye ken." "Davie! the Lord help ye, the bairn's no ten year auld; and, to be plain wi' ye, our powny reists a bit, and it's dooms sweer to the road, and naebody can manage him but our Jock."
Ye see, Sir Arthur and Miss Wardour, and Mr. Lovel, suld hae dined at Monkbarns" "But, Mrs. Mailsetter," again interrupted Mrs. Heukbane, "will ye no be for sending awa this letter by express? there's our powny and our callant hae gane express for the office or now, and the powny hasna gane abune thirty mile the day; Jock was sorting him up as I came ower by." "Why, Mrs.
Sempill's powny, the same that fetched our kit." "Well, that's your job to-morrow. See, I'll write you a line to the station-master. And will you undertake to get it some way into the House?" "There's just the one road open by the rocks. It'll have to be done. It CAN be done." "And I've another job. I'm writing this telegram to a friend in Glasgow who will put a spoke in Mr. Loudon's wheel.
That weud grow to enmity, and the en' o' a' guid. Na, we maun sen' hame the powny; and gien there be ony grace i' the bairn, he canna but come and say thank ye! Mrs. Gordon rejoiced in her victory; but David's yielding showed itself the true policy. Francis did call and thank him for taking care of Don. He even granted that perhaps he had been too hard on the pony.
