They have had mair light than comfort at the Heugh-foot this morning; there's a toom byre and a wide, and a wail and a cry for the bonny bride." "The bride?" "Ay; Charlie Cheat-the-Woodie, as we ca' him, that's Charlie Foster of Tinning Beck, has promised to keep her in Cumberland till the blast blaw by. She saw me, and kend me in the splore, for the mask fell frae my face for a blink.
But this was all a bam, or bite, among young men, and a splore to laugh over by our three selves, nor would I have it to go abroad now that Sir Hew is dead, as being prejudicial to the memory of a worthy man, and an honourable family connected with our own.

Dundas of Arniston, Dowager. February 24. I carried my own instructions into effect the best I could, and if our jests were not good, our laugh was abundant.

Meadowbank taxed me with the novels, and to end that farce at once I pleaded guilty, so that splore is ended.
