There wasna a more innocent lassie in Thrums, man, no, nor a happier one; for Aaron Latta Aaron came half the way wi' us, and he was hauding my hand aneath the shawl. He hadna speired me at that time, but I just kent.
Tommy tried to look modest, but his chest would have its way. "You little sacket," cried the Dominie, "how did you manage it?" "I think I thought I was Betsy at the time," Tommy answered, with proper awe. "She told me nothing about the weeping-willow at the grave," said the Dominie, perhaps in self-defence. "You hadna speired if there was one," retorted Tommy, jealously.

"Ane wad think the Queen speired of ye to carry a letter to Mendoza to burn and slay, instead of a bit scart of the pen to ask the good father for his prayers, or the like!

I speired if I could do anything for her, and when she got my meaning she was terrible anxious to ken if I had seen a man a big man, she said, wi' a yellow beard. She didn't seem to ken his name, or else she wouldna' tell me. The auld wife was mortal feared, and was aye speakin' in a foreign langwidge.
"If I was young and yauld like you I wad gang into the Hoose, and I wadna rest till I had riddled oot the truith and jyled every scoondrel about the place. If ye dinna gang, 'faith I'll kilt my coats and gang mysel'. I havena served the Kennedys for forty year no' to hae the honour o' the Hoose at my hert.... Ye've speired my advice, sirs, and ye've gotten it. Now I maun clear awa' your supper."
