But a word in your ear! If iver agin I catch ye on ma land, by !" he swore a great oath "I'll no spare ye. You ken best if I'm in earnest or no."
Is his health so much deranged?" "Ay, and his affairs an' a'. The creditors have entered into possession o' the estate, and it's for sale.

Lady Cromarty is shut up in her room, and the others are keeping out of the way. If you wouldn't mind my giving you a little cold luncheon in my sitting room, sir, I'd like to have your help. I'm making a few sma' bits of investigation on my own. You're one of the family, sir, and I know you'll be wanting to find out who killed the master." Ned's eye flashed suddenly.

I hae been as far as Muscovia in my sma' trading way, as a travelling merchant, and I hae been through France, and the Low Countries, and a' Poland, and maist feck o' Germany, and O! it would grieve your honour's soul to see the murmuring and the singing and massing that's in the kirk, and the piping that's in the quire, and the heathenish dancing and dicing upon the Sabbath!
