It's just, said I, 'amaist as silly as our auld daft laird here and his gomerils o' sons, wi' his huntsmen and his hounds, and his hunting cattle and horns, riding haill days after a bit beast that winna weigh sax punds when they hae catched it." "You argued most admirably, Andrew," said I, willing to encourage him to get into the marrow of his intelligence; "and what said Pate?"
"Dunna think to deceive me, squoire," rejoined Nance; "ey knoa yo ha borrowed three hundert punds i' gowd fro' yung Ruchot Assheton; an os surely os ye ha it aw under your jerkin, so surely win yo lose it, if yo dunna turn back, or ge on without me keepin' ye company."

It cost that body five hundred merks ere he got to the south of Bally-Brough. And ance Donald played a pretty sport. So there was old to do about ransoming the bridegroom; for Donald would not lower a farthing of a thousand punds' The devil! 'Punds Scottish, ya shall understand.
But if your honour wad wush me to ony place where I wad hear pure doctrine, and hae a free cow's grass, and a cot, and a yard, and mair than ten punds of annual fee, and where there's nae leddy about the town to count the apples, I'se hold mysell muckle indebted t'ye." "Bravo, Andrew! I perceive you'll lose no preferment for want of asking patronage."
Everybody craned their necks to watch, while at the magistrate's order Kelley weighed the block of wood on the store's scales, which he put on the magistrate's table. "Fo'teen punds," said Mr. Kirby. "Take the scales away." "It had rubbed all the skin off'n the dog's neck," broke in Davy impulsively. "It was all raw an' bleedin'." "Aw, that ain't so!" cried Thornycroft.
Here are ye clavering about the Duke of Argyle, and this man Martingale gaun to break on our hands, and lose us gude sixty pounds I wonder what duke will pay that, quotha I wish the Duke of Argyle would pay his ain accounts He is in a thousand punds Scots on thae very books when he was last at Roystoun I'm no saying but he's a just nobleman, and that it's gude siller but it wad drive ane daft to be confused wi' deukes and drakes, and thae distressed folk up-stairs, that's Jeanie Deans and her father.
"Thretty punds!" hesitated Dumbiedikes, who was now out of the reach of those eyes which had inflamed his generosity; "I only said twenty punds." "Ay; but," said Saddletree, "that was under protestation to add and eik; and so ye craved leave to amend your libel, and made it thretty." "Did I? I dinna mind that I did," answered Dumbiedikes. "But whatever I said I'll stand to."
Squire Thorncliff borrowed ten punds o' me to gang to York Races deil a boddle wad he pay me back again, and spake o' raddling my banes, as he ca'd it, when I asked him but for my ain back again; now I think it will riddle him or he gets his horse ower the Border again unless he pays me plack and bawbee, he sall never see a hair o' her tail.

If a day's labourer refuse to work, ye'll grant a warrant to gar him do out his daurg if a wench quean rin away from her hairst, ye'll send her back to her heuck again if sae mickle as a collier or a salter make a moonlight flitting, ye will cleek him by the back-spaul in a minute of time and yet the damage canna amount to mair than a creelfu' of coals, and a forpit or twa of saut; and here is a chield taks leg from his engagement, and damages me to the tune of sax thousand punds sterling; that is, three thousand that I should win, and three thousand mair that I am like to lose; and you that ca' yourself a justice canna help a poor man to catch the rinaway?
