Sometimes he leaned forward as reverently as he could, and then, with his long lean arms dangling over the side of his box, he might have been a suit of "blacks" hung up to dry. Once I was talking with Cree Queery in a sober, respectable manner, when all at once a light broke out on his face. I asked him what he was laughing at, and he said it was at Lang Tammas.
That sweet-faced old woman with the shawl on her shoulders may be one of the girls who was playing at the game of palaulays when Jamie stole into Thrums for the last time; the man who is leaning on the commonty gate gathering breath for the last quarter of the brae may, as a barefooted callant, have been one of those who chased Cree Queery past the poor-house.
I had been at the Glen church, but did not contradict her, for it is Established, and so neither here nor there. I was anxious, too, to know what their long faces meant, and so asked at once "Was Mr. Dishart on the riot?" "Forenoon, ay; afternoon, no," replied Waster Lunny, walking round his wife to get nearer me. "Dominie, a queery thing happened in the kirk this day, sic as "
So there were boys who called "Miser Queery" after him instead of Grinder, and asked him whether he was saving up to keep himself from the workhouse. But we had all done Cree wrong. It came out on his death-bed what he had been storing up his money for.
Grinder Queery, already a feeble man, would wheel his grindstone along the long high road, leaving Mysy behind. He took the stone on a few hundred yards, and then, hiding it by the roadside in a ditch or behind a paling, returned for his mother.

I think it was simply this that Grizel no longer sat erect in her chair. "I'm nain easy in my mind about Grizel," he said that evening to Gavinia. "There's something queery about her, though I canna bottom 't." "Yea?" said Gavinia, with mild contempt.

That plank be five inches thick, at the very least, an' you see he's stuck his snout through it more'n a foot! Lor 'a mercy on us! What wonderful queery creeturs the ocean do contain!" And with this philosophic reflection, from the lips of the man-o'-war's-man, ended the adventure.
So, committing this to your consideration, and expecting an agreeable answer, I remain, sir, as usual, Abimelech Henley to Sir Arthur St. Ives Most Onnurable Sir, Wenbourne-Hill It doth appear as how your onnur be amisst. Whereby I did a partly a queery as much; thof so be as it be no fault of mine. For why? There be reasons and causes.
