They'd come to the theatre, whiles I was there; nearly every nicht I'd hear the gude Scots talk in my dressing room after my turn. There'd be dinners they'd gie me luncheons, as a rule, rather, syne my time was ta'en up sae that I couldna be wi' em at the time for the evening meal. Whiles I'd sing a bit sang for them; whiles they'd ask me tae speak to them.
Lack-a-day, if they had ta'en the pains to satisfy their own eyes, instead of following each other's blind guidance! Well! we shall be pretty comfortable at the Hawes; and besides, after all, we must have dined somewhere, and it will be pleasanter sailing with the tide of ebb and the evening breeze."
At the end of a month, they might have made the same observation; but by that time they had become accustomed to the change, and they only said "Puir fellow! he's as sair altered as though that cummer frae Perth had ta'en awa his last penny." He was indeed changed, though not to the extent which they seemed to suppose.

'Jist there's what yer pride dis to ye, Francie! Ye maun aye be first, or ye'll no try! Ye'll never du naething for fear o' no bein able to gang on believin ye cud du 't better nor ony ither body! Ye dinna want to fin' oot 'at ye're naebody in particlar. It's a sair pity ye wunna hae yer pride ta'en doon. Ye wud be a hantle better wantin aboot three pairts o' 't. Come, I'm ready for ye!
It was just at the instant when the latter, who had thrown his mind into his song with such a will that he scarcely heeded the interruption, silenced all whispers and inquiries by bursting into his third verse: "To-morrow is my working day, Simple shepherds all To-morrow is a working day for me: For the farmer's sheep is slain, and the lad who did it ta'en, And on his soul may God ha' merc-y!"
Ken ye how he requited him? The dog has into England come, And ta'en the crown in spite of him! "The rogue he salna keep it lang, To budge we'll make him fain again; We'll hang him high upon a tree, And King James shall hae his ain again!" Well! matters went smoothly enough at the start.

'He's been to Kirk Moorside Church, for t' see a bit o' th' world, as he ca's it. And sin' then he's gone out to th' cattle; for Kester's ta'en his turn of playing hissel', now that father's better.
Yo' were in a mighty hurry to settle it a', and get rid on t' oud place. 'Measter Hall had sent a notice to quit on Midsummer day; but Philip had answered it hisself.
