"Bot it is otherwise of ane tame and dantoned horse; gif any man fulishlie rides, and be sharp spurres compelles his horse to take the water, and the man drownes, the horse sould not be escheit, for that comes be the mans fault or trespasse, and not of the horse, and the man has receaved his punishment, in sa farre as he is perished and dead; and the horse quha did na fault, sould not be escheit.
"I wish," said he, "I had your gait o' handlin' horse. It's desperate sudden, but it's sure, as our friend Hamish wid observe. Maybe, my dear, you'll hiv a spell tae turn the horse tae himsel' again and something extra, an' I'm no' sayin' but what I would be likin' him better, for sittin' here on a quate beast that sould be like the ravening devil o' holy writ is no' canny."
"You might say," she said, after a pause, "that I hope he's gettin' his health where he is." "I've said that twyste before," Isaac objected severely.

For in my returne from Macedonie, wheras I sould all my wares, and played the Merchant by the space of ten months, a little before that I came to Larissa, I turned out of the way, to view the scituation of the countrey there, and behold in the bottom of a deep valley I was suddenly environed with a company of theeves, who robbed and spoiled me of such things as I had, and yet would hardly suffer me to escape.

I'll put down a staff wid a cross on it." "Would there be no danger of me mistakin' that for the priest's cudgel?" "Divil the slightest. I'll pledge my knowledge of geography, they're two very different weapons." "Well, put it down I'll know it." "Roger M'Gaugy of Nurchasy. What for him? Roger's a pig-driver. I'll put down pig. You'll comprehend that?" "I ought; for many a pig I sould in my day.
She only wants the wings, sir for they say that all the angels have wings; and upon my conscience if she had them I know the man she'd fly to." "But what happened, Mrs. Buckley?" "Why, I sould some chickens and eggs to the cook, who at wanst knew me, because I had often sould him chickens and eggs before. He came up to the hall-door, and 'Well, Mrs.
