'Lea' him oot o' oor prayers, laddie, and I canna bide it.
It was easier, hooever, to get the slyness oot o' Jacob, than the dulness oot o' Esau. Punishment tellt upo' Jacob like upon a thin skinned horse, whauras Esau was mair like the minister's powny, that can hardly be made to unnerstan' that ye want him to gang on. "An' what for didna God mak Esau as clever as Jacob?" asked a wizened faced boy near the top of the class.
