Ye weel ken that, for near twa years, the English have held Home Castle, just as they still hold Fast Castle, beside us.
"I believe Grizzie took the queer sicht for a guid omen. It's unco strange hoo fowk 'll mix up God an' chance, seein' there could hardly be twa mair contradictory ideas! I min' ance hearin' a man say,'It's almost a providence!"
"Na, my lord; ye dinna understan' the lie o' the stanes eneuch to haud oot o' sicht." "How long do you mean to keep us here?" asked the marquis impatiently. "Till it's safe to gang, my lord. For onything I ken, they may be efter comin' up here. They may be used to the place though I dinna think it." "In that case we must go down at once. We must not let them find us here."
An' ye maunna touch this ane, grannie; for though ye way think it richt to burn fiddles, ither fowk disna; and this has to do wi' ither fowk, grannie; it's no atween you an' me, ye ken, Robert went on, fearful lest she might consider herself divinely commissioned to extirpate the whole race of stringed instruments, 'for I maun sell 't for her.

But the poacher was not grateful, for he sent the dogs into one of the farmer's corn fields as soon as he was oot of our sicht. "There's hares in there," he said, "and they're sure to come oot this gate. You watch and nail the hares as they show."
I'm new in the sicht o' God an' He's new in mine an' I prayed this mornin', a thing I haena dune for mair than twenty years an' the auld burn was sweet an' clear, like when my laddie's lips sippit there lang syne I daurna speak His name ower often, but God is gey guid to the sinfu' an' the weary."

"Is there no? Look!" "There is nothing to be seen but mist; where are we?" "We're on the high bank o' the Quharity. Take care, man; you was stepping ower into the roaring water. Lie down and tell me if he's there yet. Maybe I just think that I see him, for the sicht is painted on my een." Gavin lay prone and peered at the river, but the mist came up to his eyes.
"Saw ye ever a bonnier sicht, my leddy?" said Malcolm. She looked up, and saw, and gazed in silence. Her nature was full of poetic possibilities; and now a formless thought foreshadowed itself in a feeling she did not understand: why should such a sight as this make her feel sad? The vital connection between joy and effort had begun from afar to reveal itself with the question she now uttered.
