Ay, sic a differ doesna suit wi' common folk, but of course earls can please themsels.
"What! has he the second sight, like the piper?" "He has the second sicht, my lord, but ane 'at gangs a sicht farther nor my auld daddy's." "He could tell me, then, what's going to become of me?" "As weel 's ony man, my lord." "That's not saying much, I fear." "Maybe mair nor ye think, my lord."
And I guess we're entitled to all the cowhides we've got on the place, if that's what you mean. What do you think we are thieves, Hope Douglas?" "I dinna say it. I only came to warn ye, so that you may have time tae put your hides way oot o' their sicht when they come. I dinna want that your husband should go to prison, Mrs. Lorrigan. But father is that angry " "Well, say!
Cosmo would go no farther in that direction: it would be fair neither to Lady Joan nor the gardener, who spoke as to one who knew nothing of the family. "Noo the father," resumed his new friend, " puir man, he's deid an' damned this mony a day! an' eh, but he was an ill ane! but as to Leddy Joan, he wad hardly bide her oot o' his sicht.
He had the gate in his hand, but I dinna think he kent 'at he was swingin't back an' forrit. At last he let it go. "'That's a', he said, 'I maun awa. Good-nicht, an' thank ye kindly. "I watched 'im till he gaed oot o' sicht. He gaed doon the brae."

Still I wud raither no come in the nicht. I wud raither hand awa and no tribble ye wi' mair o' the sicht o' me nor I canna help that is, till the cheenge come, and things be set richt.
