But I tellt him ye coulna be fashed wi' the like o' him." "That was not civil or right, Malcolm an old man, too. Where is he?"
'I kenna what ye're thinking, Phemy! 'What did ye gie him, Kirsty, whan he tauld ye no 'at I believe a word o' 't 'at he wud nane o' me? Kirsty laughed with a scorn none the less clear that it was quiet. 'Jist a guid lickin, she answered. 'Ha, ha! laughed Phemy hysterically. 'I tellt ye ye was leein!

Of coorse, Lord, gien ye tellt me, that wad mak a' the differ, for ye're Robert's maister as weel's mine, an' your wull wad saitisfee him jist as weel's me. I wad fain lat him gang, puir chiel! but I daurna. Lord, convert him to the trowth. Lord, lat him ken what hate is. But eh, Lord! I wuss ye wad tell me what to du.
