For years his birthday has been celebrated by a reunion of the 306 who, from the first to the last of sounding of the 36th ballot, stood with ranks solidly closed and courage undaunted.

Ye sud hae kenned better at your age, Rob. Ye sud hae thoucht twise, man." "'Deed, sir," answered Robert, quietly finishing his pinch of snuff, "there was sma' need, an' less time to think, an' Glashgar bursten, an' the watter comin' ower the tap o' the bit hoosie as gien 'twar a muckle owershot wheel, an' no a place for fowk to bide in.
In both the thickness and the batter of the walls there is a care shown in proportioning the strength of the ends and the sides. The tomb B 15 is probably that of King Sma. Its walls are not quite so thick, being fifty inches at the end. The post-holes in the floor suggest that there were five on the long side, and one in the middle of each end, as in the tomb of Narmer.

"Gien yer lordship kens nane, sma' occasion hae I to baud a rizzon to yer han'. I thoucht but the thoucht itsel's impidence." "You young fool! You thought, because I came upon you as I did in the garret the other night Bah! You damned ape! As if I could not trust ! Pshaw!"
There's sma' profit in addin' my testimony to the weight o' that; but I wad jist like to tell this company, Mr Cheerman and gentlemen, hoo I cam' to ken mair aboot the affair nor my frien' Alec Forbes is awar' o'. That same efternoon, I expeckit him i' the leebrary as I hae said, and whan he didna come, I took my hat that was about a half-hoor efter the laird left me and gaed oot to luik for him.
And are these the only occasions upon which you have heard this mysterious sound, Mrs. M'Gregor?" "No, Master Keppel, they are not. I assure ye something threatens.

"Weel, tak the key, an' ye winna forget, John?" said Aggie, laying the key amongst his tools. "Grannie's lyin' there her lee-lane, an' gien the hoose was to tak fire, what wad come o' her?"
