Sidling up to the favoured mourners, he remarked casually and in the most emotionless tone he could assume: "They're expec'in ye to stap doon the length o' Little Rathie noo. Aye, aye, he's gone. Na, na, nae refoosal, Da-avit; ye was aye a guid friend till him, an' it's onything a body can do for him noo."
"Stap, your hanner; does your hanner think that the Orange will ever be out of the kennel, and that the Orange boys will ever walk round the brass man and horse in College Green as they did of ould?" "Who knows?" said I. "But suppose all that were to happen, what would it signify to you?"
"Put who 'll pe tone it?" asked Duncan angrily. "Ow, the maister gae me a bit flewet!" answered Malcolm with indifference. "Where is he?" cried the piper, rising in wrath. "Take her to him, Malcolm. She will stap him. She will pe killing him. She will trife her turk into his wicked pody." "Na, na, daddy," said Malcolm; "we hae hed eneuch o' durks a'ready!"

Secretary, calling on His Majesty's liege subjects, etc., you know the run of it, and I was bound to look into it. Charges are charges, stap me if they a'nt. Don't come too near, pig's eyes!

"A'nt I pouched you all cleverly, stap me, seeing the ink on my commission's hardly dry? Didn't think it was in me!" "I will take the authority of your commission as sufficient, my lord, the times being what they are. But will you be good enough to tell me why you come?" "Gadso! Certainly!
"Nah, nah! they shanna stap my mouth they shanna gag me," cried Jennet. "Ey win speak out. The King shan hear me. You are as bad os me." "All malice, your Majesty all malice," cried the attorney. "Malice, nae doubt, in great pairt," replied James; "but some truth as weel, I fear, sir. And in any case it will prevent my doing any thing for you."
"It wud hae been temptin' Providence tae cross the muir," Whinnie explained, "and it's a fell stap roond; a' doot we're laist." "See, Jamie," said Drumsheugh, as he went to the house, "gin there be ony antern body in sicht afore we begin; we maun mak allooances the day wi' twa feet o' sna on the grund, tae say naethin' o' drifts."

Ah yes, yes!" went on my Lord, "I recollect her, I recollect her. It was at Birmingham I first met her: she was my Lady Trippet's woman, wasn't she?" "She was no such thing," said Mr. Billings, hotly. "Her aunt kept the 'Bugle Inn' on Waltham Green, and your Lordship seduced her." "Seduced her! Oh, 'gad, so I did. Stap me, now, I did.
