Ay! ye'll a' hearken noo; but it's no lauchin', though there was sculduddery eneuch, nae doobt, afore it cam' that len'th. And mony a het drap did the puir lassie greet, I can tell ye. Faith! it was no lauchin' to her. She was a servan' o' oors, an' a ticht bonnie lass she was. They ca'd her the weyver's bonny Mary that's the name she gaed by. Weel, ye see
O Lord!" spoke the youth, breaking out into almost involuntary prayer, "help this man to haud troth wi' Thee! An' noo, Maister Crathie," he resumed, "I'm yer servan', ready to du onything I can. Forgi'e me, sir, for layin' on ower sair." "I forgi'e ye wi' a' my hert," returned the factor, inly delighted to have something to forgive.
During the few days when victorious Paris left Louis with the sham title of king, Buonaparte received his captain's commission, which was signed for the king by Servan, the War Minister. Thus did the revolutionary Government pass over his double breach of military discipline at Ajaccio.
My father and myself also wanted to go westward, but in order to make our way into Brittany, my stepmother and her children being at Saint Servan, near Saint Malo.

But meanwhile the boys hated him more than ever, when they saw how much better Saint Servan loved him every day. And once more they planned to bring him into disgrace.
He canna lay 's finger on onything o' mine but my servan' lass, cried the weaver, slapping his thigh-bone for there was little else to slap. Meg, at the moment, was taking her exit-glance. She went straight to Miss Napier. 'Willie MacGregor's had eneuch, mem, an' a drappy ower. 'Sen' Caumill doon to Mrs. MacGregor to say wi' my compliments that she wad do weel to sen' for him, was the response.
