Major Weir sat opposite to him, in a red laced coat, and the laird's wig on his head; and ay as Sir Robert girned wi' pain, the jackanape girned too, like a sheep's-head between a pair of tangs an ill-faur'd, fearsome couple they were.
Ratcliffe laughed, and, winking to the procurator-fiscal, pursued the inquiry in his own way. "But, Madge, the lads only like ye when ye hae on your braws they wadna touch you wi' a pair o' tangs when you are in your auld ilka-day rags."
Myrrh, the strength of which preserves, and prevents decay, and yet which smarts, and tangs, and stings ever and ever a worthy symbol of Mortal Life, surely. Wise Men, indeed, ye Magi! Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh a prophecy, symbol, and revelation of the Life of the Son of Man, with His indwelling Pure Spirit. And the Magi, having performed their rites and ceremonies, departed from Bethlehem.
Under Kaotsong the power of the Tangs showed for thirty years no diminution, and he triumphed in directions where his father had only pointed the way to victory. He began his reign with a somewhat risky act by marrying one of his father's widows, who then became the Empress Won.
Shanet owed nobody a bodle, but she couldna pide to see honest folk and pretty shentlemen forced away to prison whether they would or no; and then, if Shanet was to lay her tangs ower ane of the ragamuffins' heads, it would be, maybe, that the law would gi'ed a hard name."

On entering their own gates they perceived that the men had left the wagons, and were standing round the door of the stable which had been appropriated to the doctor's use. "Is there anything the matter?" cried Grace. "Oh no, ma'am. All's well that ends well," said old Timothy Tangs. "I've heard of such things before among workfolk, though not among your gentle people that's true."
This scheme of emigration was dividing him from his father for old Tangs would on no account leave Hintock and had it not been for Suke's reputation and his own dignity, Tim would at the last moment have abandoned the project. As he sat in the back part of the room he regarded her moodily, and the fire and the boxes.
Epicures vied with each other in discovering new varieties, and regular tournaments were held to decide their superiority. He himself wrote a dissertation on the twenty kinds of tea, among which he prizes the "white tea" as of the rarest and finest quality. The tea-ideal of the Sungs differed from the Tangs even as their notion of life differed.
But it was not heavy for its size; Mrs. Dollery herself carried it into the house. Tim Tangs, the hollow-turner, Bawtree, Suke Damson, and others, looked knowing, and made remarks to each other as they watched its entrance. Melbury stood at the door of the timber-shed in the attitude of a man to whom such an arrival was a trifling domestic detail with which he did not condescend to be concerned.
