The night was just down on us, when I heard the lilt o' a whistle, clear as a whaup's, and with a great melody. To us there came whistling a kilted lad, his knees red as collops, for he had waded the burn, and the cheeks o' him glowing like wild roses.

Christian Ann wanted to know if he wasn't "freckened" to be there, "not being used of Kings," whereupon he cried: "What! Frightened of another man and a stunning good one, too!"

There is an account of a curious mule from the Antirrbinum linaria, Toad-flax, in the Amoenit. Academ. V. I. No. 3. and many hybrid plants described in No. 32. Murray, Syft. Veg.
"Indeed no, it iss not that; it's yourself I'll be after," shrilled the lad, wi' a burning face. "And what for will ye be after me, Neil Veg?" "I will be tellin' you by yourself alone, for my father will be sayin' to me, 'Did you find him, and him alone?
