But he went again, and the second lecture, on the origin of the Gospels, got hold of him, especially as it supplied him with a whole armory of new arguments in support of Hume's doctrine of conscience, and in defiance of 'that blatin' creetur, Reid'. The thesis with which Robert, drawing on some of the stores supplied him by the Squire's book, began his account i.e. the gradual growth within the limits of history of man's capacity for telling the exact truth fitted in, to the Scotchman's thinking, so providentially with his own favorite experimental doctrines as against the 'intueetion' folks, 'who will have it that a babby's got as moch mind as Mr.
Oh, parents! are there not real sins enough in the world already, without your defiling it, over and above, by inventing new ones? That day fortnight came, and the old Scotchman's words came true. Four books of his I had already, and I came in to borrow a fifth; whereon he began with a solemn chuckle: "Eh, laddie, laddie, I've been treating ye as the grocers do their new prentices.
Griggs knew that life had no more dulness for him while she lived, and as for her, he believed what she said. Without letting him know what she was doing, she wrote to her father. It was not an easy letter to write, and she thought that she knew the savage old Scotchman's temper. She told him everything.
In the prophetic old Scotchman's iron philosophy there was no room for anything but deeds.
Arthur burst out a crying, and only said, "Yes, father, I'll do as you bid me, to be sure." "Why now, what does the boy cry for? Is there no other boy, simpleton, think you, to play with, but this Scotchman's son! I'll find out another play-fellow for ye, child, if that be all."

About eight o'clock on the night of the sixth MacDougall came into the office, where Philip was alone. The young Scotchman's usually florid face was white.
More than two days that single row of houses endured, varied by nights spent with "the boss" in the labor-camps of Lirio, Culebra way. Then one morning I tramped far out the highway to the old Scotchman's farm-house that bounds Empire on the north and began the long intricate journey through the private-owned town itself.
Neal looked at his medical attendant with a sour surprise. There was a latent anxiety in the doctor's eye, a latent preoccupation in the doctor's manner, which he was at a loss to account for. For a moment the two faces confronted each other silently, in marked national contrast the Scotchman's, long and lean, hard and regular; the German's, plump and florid, soft and shapeless.
The Scotchman's eyes narrowed to distinguish if the white flake of light in the deep green water across a little bay were the reflection of the flower known as the Chilhowee lily, or the ethereal blossom itself. Attusah's mind seemed yet with the seagoing craft.
George often said, in speaking of this manner of the Scotchman's, that Prim's precise pomposity was entirely due to the fact that he had swallowed himself and couldn't digest the meal; that if he would once in a while let out a big, hearty laugh it might split his skin wide enough for him to get a natural breath.
