He's a son of oald Wilson, the mowdie-man of Brigabee. It seems we're to have him for a neighbour, or all's bye wi't. I declare I doan't know what this world's coming to!" "Man, Provost," said Brodie, "d'ye tell me tha-at?
Perhaps we were the closest friends, and I have just been letting my imagination run wild in contemplating the possibilities." "Let me tell you someting thing. Did I get tha-at right?" "You get the th as well as I, and the w's trouble you no more." "Only sometimes I forget, I was going to say, you remember the first night you came here?"
At other times they would have been the first to scoff at Gilmour's swagger. Now their animus against Gourlay prompted them to back it up. "Oh, I'm not so sure of tha-at, baker," cried the Provost, in the false, loud voice of a man defending a position which he knows to be unsound; "I'm no so sure of that at a-all. A-a-ah, mind ye," he drawled persuasively, "he's a hardy fallow, that Gilmour.
"He's aye warst wi' the coat on!" "Clothes undoubtedly affect the character," said Johnny Coe. "It takes a gentleman to wear a lordly coat without swaggering." "There's not a doubt o' tha-at!" approved the baker, who was merry with his day's carousal; "there's not a doubt o' tha-at! Claes affect the disposeetion.
"Suppose I were to make a settlement on her at once with myself as beneficiary for life, they couldn't take anything but the interest from me, unless of course they alter the law." Gradman moved his head and smiled. "Ah!" he said, "they wouldn't do tha-at!" "I don't know," muttered Soames; "I don't trust them." "It'll take two years, sir, to be valid against death duties." Soames sniffed.
"Ah?" said young M'Loughlin, "you have the ball at your own foot now, but if we were man to man, with equal weapons, there would be none of this swagger." "What's tha-at the young rible says," said 'the drunken fellow, deliberately covering him with his cavalry pistol "another word, and I'll let day-light through you."
"Suppose I were to make a settlement on her at once with myself as beneficiary for life, they couldn't take anything but the interest from me, unless of course they alter the law."

A look of dismay came upon her. Her mouth dropped open. "Oh, no, Doctor!" She began to shake her head. "I'll never do tha-at; oh, no; I'll never send my poor hussband to the crazy-house! Oh, no, sir; I'll do not such a thing!" There was some resentment in her emotion. Her nether lip went up like a crying babe's, and she breathed through her nostrils audibly.
She was big of hip and bosom, with sloe-black hair and eyes, and a ruddy cheek, and when she flung back her head for the laugh her white teeth flashed splendid on the world. That laugh of hers became one of the well-known features of Barbie. "Lo'd-sake!" a startled visitor would cry, "whatna skirl's tha-at!"
"No, faither," she answered. "I hadna the bawbees." "When did ye get back?" he asked. "Just after just after " Her eyes flickered over to John, as if she were afraid of mentioning his name.
