Gien ye forsak them noo, ye'll be forgettin' him 'at made them an' you, an' the sea, an' the herrin' to be taen intil 't.
Of course, this was another postponement of Mrs. Benton's own meal, but she didn't mind that, so long as she had an opportunity to deal with the small lads. Explaining to them, as she undressed and bathed them: "You'd go to wrack and ruin if 'twasn't for me takin' a hand in your upbringin' now and then. You pull the wool over Gabriella's eyes the worst ever was. My!
She's a heap mair boontifu' like in her beauty nor her. The man micht haud 's ain wi' an archangel 'at had a woman like that to the wife o' 'm. Hoots! I'll be wussin' I had had anither upbringin', 'at I micht ha' won a step nearer to the hem o' her garment! an' that wad be to deny him 'at made an' ordeen't me. I wull not du that.
'Ye'll ken my sister? replied Ringan, gazing fixedly at the fire, 'Effie that was marrit on puir Jock Ord a fine laddie he was verra knowledgeable wi' sheep, wha perished in a snowstorm, mindin' his hirsel. 'She was left gey ill aff, an' noo wi' a bairn to provide for, hard pit till 't. Twa hundred punds wull provide for his upbringin', an' aiblins turn him into a meenister at the finish.
"There's anither whause upbringin wasna to blame: my upbringin was a' it oucht to hae been and see hoo ill I turnt oot!" "It wasna what it oucht! I see 't a' plain the noo! I was aye ower feart o' garrin ye hate me! Oh, Isy, Isy, I hae dene ye wrang! I ken ye cud never hae laid yersel oot to snare him it wasna in ye to dee 't!" "Thank ye, mother! It was, railly and truly, a' my wyte!
But the lassie's able to pay for her ain upbringin'." "It's no far 'at a hunner and fifty'll gang i' thae times, woman. An' it's a pity to tak frae the prencipal. She'll be merryin' some day." "Ow, 'deed, maybe. Bairns will be fules." "Weel, end na ye pit it oot at five per cent., and there wad aye be something comin' o' 't?
"Noo, I hae but the dregs to drink, and them I maun glog ower wi' patience, for I hae weel deserved to drink them! But, eh, my bonnie Isy, she maun hae suffert sair! I daur hardly think what she maun hae come throuw!" "Her mither couldna hae broucht her up richt! The first o' the faut lay i' the upbringin!"

Verily, He shall give his angels chairge over thee!
