On Saturday last, when he was paid his weekly wages by the steward, he met a puir sickly-lookin' auld wife, wi' a string o' sickly-looking weans at the body's heels; she didna ask him for charity, for, in troth, he appeared, binna it wearna for the weans, as great an objeck as hersel'; noo, what wad yer honor think? he gaes ower and gies till her a hale crown o' siller out o' his ain wage.
The farmer said, "Long, red-headed man, kind of sickly-lookin'?" "We didn't see the man " "Little woman, skinny-lookin; pootty tonguey?" "We didn't see her, eitha; but I guess we hea'd her at the back of the house." "Lot o' children, about as big as pa'tridges, runnin' round in the bushes?" "Yes! And a very pretty-appearing girl; about thi'teen or fou'teen, I should think."

Bein' all painted brick red, though, it ain't so convincing but stragglin' over ours is a wistaria that has a few sickly-lookin' blossoms on it every spring and manages to carry a sprinklin' of dusty leaves through the summer. Also there's a nine-by-twelve lawn, that costs a dollar a square foot to keep in shape, I'll bet.
