I'll tell my mother about Reddy the morn, and syne she'll put you to the door smart. "When you are a grown woman I'll buy a house to yer, but you'll have jest to bide in it by your lonely self, and I'll come once a year to speir how you are, but I won't come in, I won't I'll jest cry up the stair."
I'll gie ye a cloot o' the lug," growled Scrumpie. "Hoot man! The General wants ye." The General was Alec's nickname. "What is't, General?" "Do ye ken Juno?" "Hang the bitch! I ken her ower weel.

'Ye maun speir at himsel', returned Robert, 'an' jist tell him 'at ye dinna ken, but ye'll do onything 'at he likes. With these words he took his leave hurriedly, somewhat amazed to find that he had given the soutar the strange advice to try just what he had tried so unavailingly himself.
They laugh ay that wins. There are mae maidens, nor maukin. They mense little the mouth, that bites off the nose. There is nothing so crouse, as a new washen louse. They are as wife, as speir not.

"An ye had true humeelity ye'd be a-hopin' to get there, instead of expectin' to speir o'er the heads o' yer betters," said his wife in a rebuking tone. "'A-hopin' to get there'!" said Malcom with some warmth.
"What do you mean by that?" demanded McQueen, hooking him this time. "Speir at himsel'; speir at the woman." "What woman?" "Take your staff out o' my neck."
