"I don't know how to repay you." "Repay me! I want nae repayment. Only spier nae questons at me, and gang awa whan I'm drunk." After all his summer preparation, Alec was still behind in mathematics; for while, with a distinct object in view, he was capable of much without one, reading was a weariness to him.
"I shall inquire," said Herman Spier. But he did not intend to. He had other plans. The old man's bitterness had been increased by two things. First, although he had been dismissed without notice, in the middle of the week, he had been paid only up to the hour of leaving. That was a grievance.
But it wad be a scunnerfu' thing to tak the len' o' buiks frae ye, an' spier quest'ons at ye 'at I canna mak oot mysel', an' syne gang awa despisin' ye i' my hert for cruelty an' wrang. What was the cratur punished for? Tell me that. Accordin' till yer aunt's ain accoont, he had taen naething, an' had dune naething but guid."
The Auld Licht kirk would be half an hour yet. "But, Sanders," said Sam'l, brightening up, "ye was on yer way to spier her yersel." "I was, Sam'l," said Sanders, "and I canna but be thankfu ye was ower quick for's." "Gin't hadna been you," said Sam'l, "I wid never hae thocht o't."
"Sir," he said gravely, "if I have consented to hold converse with the unhappy, it was not as the tell-tale and the spier.

Do you ken what is the chief end of man?" "Dod, and I do," answered Jock. "You let me spier the questions." "No," answered Jean firmly. "I'll spier them first myself." "You're thinking I can't answer," said Jock. "I'll fool you." He stood up as straight as a whole row of soldiers and fired off the answer all in one breath.
Spier Falls north of Saratoga, practically unheard of before, is now supplying electricity to the industrial communities of Schenectady, Troy, Amsterdam, Albany and half a dozen or so smaller towns.
"The Countess, to her aunt in a nunnery and relating to wool knitting. See, is this the sort of envelope?" "That is gray," Herman Spier said sullenly. "But in size?" "It is similar." "Good." He held the envelope to the light and inspected it. "It would be interesting to know," he said, "whether the Countess has an aunt in this nunnery, or whether but go, man. And hurry."
"Sir," he said gravely, "if I have consented to hold converse with the unhappy, it was not as the tell-tale and the spier. I had formal warrant for my visit, and I was solicited to render it by an early friend and comrade, who sought to be my benefactor in aiding with gold my poor studies for the king's people."
"If ye had loaned it, deacon, ye would hae had the right to spier into things, and gie the lad advice. He maun tak his advice where he taks his money. Ye flung that chance o' guiding Davie to the four winds. And let me tell ye, Cousin Callendar, ye hae far too tight a grip on this warld's goods. The money is only loaned to you to put out at interest for the Master.
