Oldbuck, everybody in Fairport is always willing to oblige you and besides, I know that you are a prudent man, and one that would be as unwilling to lose forty, as four hundred merks.

In a few minutes, Smallbones was hauled in over the gunnel, and was seated on the stern-sheets opposite to Sir Robert. "It's a great deal colder out of the water than in, that's sartain," observed Smallbones, shivering.
He is young, certainly, but he could carry a colour; and as for his spirit and bravery, Munro and I will vouch for it." "Oh, do, uncle," the lad exclaimed, leaping to his feet in his excitement.
