"Then I'd like to see the man that can run it," declared the spokeswoman with fine spirit. "We're going to back Mis' Gifford. We're going to the train to get custom for her. We're going to warn every one against this tavern. There isn't a girl or woman in twenty towns around here who'll work in this hole after we've warned 'em what it is. Yes, sir, I'd like to see the man that can run it!"
My lord, methinks it would be a good plan for you to take boat now, at once, taking the maid Janet with you as a guide and spokeswoman. She will take you to her father's house and explain all; and then her father and brothers will come back with you, if need presses more sorely, and help us to transport thither the poor lady.

Lake and her followers were very much aware of this, although their spokeswoman said nothing about it. "You'll accept, of course," gushed Mrs. Lake. "Of course you will. I shall be so proud to vote and work for you." Serena hesitated. And yet and yet "You will, won't you?" begged the caller. "No," said Serena. "No, Mrs. Lake, I can't. I could not run against Annette Black.

But ne'er mind, cummer! we hae this dollar of the Master's, and we'll send doun for bread and for yill, and tobacco, and a drap brandy to burn, and a wee pickle saft sugar; and be there deil, or nae deil, lass, we'll hae a merry night o't."
