In fac I was whiles compelled to confess my ignorance, which is no pleesant whan a man wants to stan' weel wi' a bonny crater that spiers questons. Whan she gaed, I gaed efter her, followin' aboot at her i' my thochts, I mean like a hen efter her ae chucken.
"A'll take two or three as curiosities A'd like to show the officers the kind o' poison the lower classes smoke " "Here!

Weel, ye see, ance I had made up my min' aboot that, I jist began followin' at her again like a hungry tyke that stops the minute ye liuk roon efter him I mean i' my thochts, ye ken jist as I had been followin' her, a' the time o' my fiver, throu the halls o' heaven, as I thoucht them, whan they war only the sma' crinkle-crankle convolutions o' my cerebral dome-�a puir heaven for a man to bide in!
"Wallace, what are you so solemnly aye-ayeing about? Why so mysterious?" enquired Mary.

"Ye refused the summons sax month syne, and took yir wys tae London that wes contumacy added tae yir ither sin.
