Some of the farmers were loading their carts to go home, when the schools skailed, and all the weans came shouting to the market.
At length Malcolm, concluding from the silence that the meeting had thoroughly skailed, peeped cautiously out to make sure. But after a moment, he drew back, saying in a regretful whisper, "I 'm sorry ye canna gang yet, my lord. "How do you know that?" "Ony body wad ken that, 'at got a glimp o' them." "Let me look."
The schools had skailed, and the children, finding in the weather little encouragement to linger, had gone to their homes.

I daresay you can jalouse the rest, but I kept Lewis behind after the school skailed, and got a full confession out of him.
