Syne she saw the sonsie puppy loupin' at Auld Jock's heels, bonny as a poodle, but mair knowin'. The leddy gied me a poond note for 'im. I put 'im up on the seat, an' she said that noo she had a smart Hieland groom to match 'er Hieland steeds, an' she flicked the ponies wi' 'er whup. Syne the bit dog was on the airth an' flyin' awa' doon the road like the deil was after 'im.
From the appearance of her room it was evident she had fled.

Is his certificate genuine?" In the mean time Mr.
The yellow gas-light gave his face such a sardonic aspect that Sandy turned pale. "Wha's death, man?" Mr. Traill kept his own counsel, but at the door he turned: "You'll no' be remembering the bittie terrier that lived in the kirkyard?" The light of boyhood days broke in Sandy's grin.

The maiden turned away with a simper. "It was no his friend at all," she observed to the young lady from the buffet, who had emerged to wave farewell to a bold, bad Engine Room Artificer after a desperate flirtation of some forty seconds' duration. "It was himself." "They're a' sae sonsie!" said the young lady from the buffet with a rapturous sigh.
