'Ay, I reckon it was some sair; but the puir fowk aye said the bonny man was wi' them; and lat them bite! they didna care! 'Ay, of coorse, gien he was wi' them they wadna min' 't a hair, or at least, no twa hairs! Wha wud! Gien he be in yon hole, Kirsty, I'll gang back and intil't my lee lane. I wull noo! Steenie turned and had run some distance before Kirsty succeeded in stopping him.
'They maun be packit sae close, sae unco close i' their muckle pocks, like the feathers in a feather-bed! and syne, whan they lat them a' oot thegither, like haudin the bed i' their twa ban's by the boddom corners, they maun be smorin thick till they begin to spread! 'And wha think ye shaks oot the muckle pocks, Steenie? 'I dinna ken. I hae aften thoucht aboot it.
"Compone lachrymas," said the Monarch; "be patient, man, be patient; the council, and Baby Charles, and Steenie, may a' gang to the deevil- -he shall not marry her since it moves you so deeply." "He shall marry her, by God!" answered the earl, drawing himself up, dashing the tear from his eyes, and endeavouring to recover his composure.
Strangers who have a large common ground of reading will, for this reason, come the sooner to the grapple of genuine converse. If they know Othello and Napoleon, Consuelo and Clarissa Harlowe, Vautrin and Steenie Steenson, they can leave generalities and begin at once to speak by figures. Conduct and art are the two subjects that arise most frequently and that embrace the widest range of facts.
He knocked at the ha' door just as he was wont, and his auld acquaintance, Dougal MacCallum just after his wont, too came to open the door, and said, "Piper Steenie, are ye there lad? Sir Robert has been crying for you." My gudesire was like a man in a dream he looked for the stranger, but he was gane for the time. At last he just tried to say, "Ha! Dougal Driveower, are you living?
And ye do poor Steenie the mair wrang, for he confessed it ance before us and our privy council, that Dalgarno would have put the quean aff on him, the puir simple bairn, making him trow that she was a light-o'-love; in whilk mind he remained assured even when he parted from her, albeit Steenie might hae weel thought ane of thae cattle wadna hae resisted the like of him."
But I canna think it an unlawfu' thing to pit a bit trick on sic a landlouping scoundrel, that just lives by tricking honester folk." "But what are we to do with this?" said Steenie, producing a pocket-book. "Od guide us, man," said Edie in great alarm, "what garr'd ye touch the gear? a very leaf o' that pocket-book wad be eneugh to hang us baith."
Ye see I ken sae muckle they ken naething aboot, or they wudna be as they are! It's no possible he's ever seen the bonny man as I hae seen him! 'We'll a' hae to come ower to you, Steenie, and learn frae ye what ye ken. We'll hae to mak you the minister, Steenie!
He, like his Steenie, believed in the bonny man about in the world, not in the mere image of him standing in the precious shrine of the New Testament. After a brief silence 'Whaur's Kirsty and Steenie? he said. 'The Lord kens; I dinna. 'They'll be safe eneuch. 'It's no likly. 'It's sartin, said David.
Ye strike ower hard, Steenie I doubt ye foundered the chield." "Neer a bit," said Steenie, laughing; "he has braw broad shouthers, and I just took measure o' them wi' the stang. Od, if I hadna been something short wi' him, he wad hae knockit your auld hams out, lad." "Weel, an I win clear o' this scrape," said Edie, "I'se tempt Providence nae mair.
