"Don't you hear it?" she answered. "The wind is blowing the house down. There's just been a terrible fall, and every moment I hear it going. If my father were only come! We shall be all blown into the burn." "Nae fear o' that, my leddy!" returned Malcolm.

She 's a guid body, but she wadna believe her ain een gien onybody ca'd a minister said contrar' to them." "Who the devil do you mean then?" "Nae deevil, but an honest man 'at 's been his warst enemy sae lang 's I hae kent him: Maister Graham, the schuilmaister." "Pooh!" said the marquis with a puff. "I'm too old to go to school." "I dinna ken the man 'at isna a bairn till him, my lord."
A general and powerful expression of sympathy accompanied him. "Ah, puir fallow puir Hobbie!" "He'll learn the warst o't now!" "But I trust Earnscliff will get some speerings o' the puir lassie."

'But hoo's that to be dune? said Robert. 'I dinna ken. But I hae been watchin' to see you ever sin' syne. I hae seen ye gang by mony a time. Ye're the only man I ken 'at I could speyk till aboot it.
