"Franky," they would say, "is no finished priest in the larnin'; he's but a scowdher." Now a scowdher is an oaten cake laid upon a pair of tongs placed over the greeshaugh, or embers, that are spread out for the purpose of baking it.
It is a forked stick with three legs, that stands opposite the fire, and supports the cake, which is placed on the edge until it is gradually baked. The Scowdher is, for the most part, made in cases of hurry. Denis, however, to resume more directly the thread of our narrative, on finding himself mounted, took an inveterate prejudice against walking.
"Poor Frank," they would observe, "is but a scowdher the sign of the tongs No. 11, is upon him; so that it is asy known he never was laid to the muddha arran,"* that is to say, properly baked or duly and thoroughly educated. * The Muddha Arran is literally "the bread stick," a term in opposition to the scowdher.
