He transferred his office of Justitiarius to others; and so I was cut off from all hope of ever again going to R sitten. The old gentleman would allow no one to attend him but me; and it was to me alone that he looked for all amusement and every cheerful diversion.
Civil war is like a cockatrice; we have sitten hatching the egg that held it for ten years, and might hae sitten on for ten years mair, when in comes Rashleigh, and chips the shell, and out bangs the wonder amang us, and cries to fire and sword.
One day I was suddenly called in; I found the old gentleman confined to his bed and unable to speak, suffering from a paralytic stroke. He held a letter in his hand, which he had crumpled up tightly in a spasmodic fit. I recognised the hand-writing of the land-steward of R sitten; but, quite upset by my trouble, I did not venture to take the letter out of the old gentleman's hand.
They rose early on the morning of the 26th, for the purpose of arranging some trifling matters and taking their breakfast in quietness and comfort; but they had scarcely sitten down, when their half-naked grinning acquaintance entered to pay them the compliments of the day.

In the letter which commanded his son to appear at R sitten on a given day to take possession of the entail, he cursed him if he did not sever his connection with her.

Gien ye fleggit ae broonie, anither cam; for there's the wark done, the same's ever." "Damn the cratur!" cried Fergus. "Whisht, whisht, laddie! he's maybe hearin' ye this meenute.
"You have afforded me a delightful hour; these have been the pleasantest moments I have ever spent in R sitten," she added, offering me her hand; and as in the extreme intoxication of delight I pressed it to my lips, I felt her fingers close upon my hand with a sudden convulsive tremor. I do not know how I managed to reach my uncle's chamber, and still less how I got into the ball-room.
That this is so is shown by the fact that many ethical terms are by their etymology connected with the idea of custom. "Morals" and "morality" are from the Latin mores, usually translated "customs," "ethics," from a Greek root of similar sense. The German Sitten has the same fused meanings.
V read a confession at which his very soul trembled, appalled. It was at Daniel's instigation that Hubert had come to R sitten; and it was Daniel again who had written and told him about the one hundred and fifty thousand thalers that had been found.
