Stumpie's an awfu' peppery budy, an' though the Smith leuch when he made his joke at the tailor's precentin', Mertin got as raised as a wasp, and he yattered back "You'll maybe be better aff i' the ither place, wi' your auld horse shune an' your smiddy reek, ye auld acowder " "Toot, toot, Mertin; dinna get angry," says the Smith. "It was but a joke, man.
"Gang yer wa's, lassie, and the Lord gang wi' ye, as ance he did wi' them that gaed to Emmaus." With her shoes in her hand, the girl was leaving the house when her father called after her "Hoo's folk to ken that I provide for my ain, whan my bairn gangs unshod? Tak aff yer shune gin ye like when ye're oot o' the toon."
'The auld witch hasna gotten a grup o' her again? cried the shoemaker, starting half up in alarm. 'She cam here to me aboot the shune, but I reckon I sortit her! 'I winna speir what ye said, returned Robert. 'It's no maitter noo. And the tears rose to his eyes. His bonny lady! 'The Lord guide 's! exclaimed the soutar. 'What is the maitter wi' the bonnie leddy?
But he's promised to help me aff wi' my feet some day: think o' that! Eh, gien I cud but get my feet aff! Eh, gien they wad but stick i' my shune, and gang wi' them whan I pu' them aff! They're naething efter a', ye ken, but the shune o' my sowl! A gust of wind drove against the house, and sank as suddenly. 'That'll be ane o' them! said Steenie, rising hastily. 'He'll be wantin me!
He's haen a teenge or twa, an' he's akinda foondered afore, an' a little spavie i' the aft hent leg; but I'll shune pet that a' richt wi' gude guidin'. He's a grand beast, I tell ye!" Sandy stood an' lookit first up at the horse an' then doon at his cairt. "He's gey high for the wheels," he says; "but, man, he's a grand beast. He cam hame frae Glesterlaw juist like a bird. Never turned a hair.
'Weel, jist pit yer shune on, man, and rin up to Miss Naper's upo' the Squaur, and say to Miss Naper, wi' my compliments, that I wad be sair obleeged till her gin she wad len' me that fine receipt o' hers for crappit heids, and I'll sen' 't back safe the morn's mornin'. Rin, noo. This commission fell in admirably with Robert's plans, and he started at once.
A fule and his siller's shune parted. Eh, but ye're a green callant!" he cried, "an' a veecious, tae! Cleikin' up wi' baubeejoes!" "If you dare to speak of the young lady. . . " I began. "Leddy!" he cried. "Haud us and safe us, whatten leddy? Ca' THON a leddy? The toun's fu' o' them. Leddies! Man, its weel seen ye're no very acquant in Embro!" A clap of anger took me.
With these words she hauled him away to this sanctum sanctorum, the scrubbing and cleaning whereof was her daily employment, as its high state of good order constituted the very pride of her heart.

'Gang in there, Shargar. Ye'll be warmer there than upo' the door-step ony gait. Pit aff yer shune. Shargar obeyed, full of delight at finding himself in such good quarters.
We saw the muckle lamp up abune the brig juist like a lichthoose twenty mile awa'. Sandy was widin' aboot amon' the mud, an' his lorn shune liftin' wi' a noisy gluck, juist like a pump aff the fang. "I think this is shurely the Sloch o' Dispond we've gotten intil, Bawbie," says he. "It looks liker the Wardmill Dam," says I, I says; "but if I get oot o't livin', I'll lat the pileece hear o't.
