"It wasna," she replied, "till Lady Glenallan had communicated this fause tale, that she suspected ye had actually made a marriage nor even then did you avow it sae as to satisfy her whether the ceremony had in verity passed atween ye or no But ye remember, O ye canna but remember weel, what passed in that awfu' meeting!" "Woman! you swore upon the gospels to the fact which you now disavow."
I've heard the general say mair than ance that he wasna frighted o' death, or any danger that he could face and have done wi', but that it was the lang, weary waitin' and the uncertainty that had taken a' the strength and the mettle oot o' him.
But I was still thochtfu', and Mac looked at me. "Wasna he a whopper, Harry?" he asked. I think he was a wee bit disappointed, but he had no cause I was just thinking. "Aye," I said. "Deed an' he was, Mac. Ye were prood, the day, were ye no? I mind the biggest fish ever I caught. I wasna fit to speak to the Duke o' Argyle himsel' that day!"
My gudesire was, by this time, far beyond the bounds of patience, and, while he and Laurie were at deil speed the liars, he was wanchancie aneugh to abuse Lapraik's doctrine as weel as the man, and said things that garr'd folks' flesh grue that heard them he wasna just himsell, and he had lived wi' a wild set in his day.
"It being a lad and a wench," said Charlie, with a judicial air, "and me 'aving laid as it 'ud be a wench, I wins." In his accents and his gestures I could discern the mean soul, who on principle never paid until he was absolutely forced to pay. I could see also that Jos Myatt knew his man. "Thou laidst me as it wasna' a lad," Jos almost shouted. "And a lad it is, I tell thee."
And as for storms and biding oot at nicht there's Willie McKerlie that herded the Lagganmore for forty year, and in the Saxteen Drifty days he wasna hame for a week.

She wur beset wi' danger as she'd niwer thowt on, an' before long she foun' out as women didna work o' this side o' the sea as they did o' ours. So at last she wur driv' upon a strange-loike plan. It sounds wild, happen, but it wasna so wild after aw. Her bits of clothes giv' out an' she had no money; an' theer wur Dave's things.

I didna think the 'Bumbees' had as muckle spunk in them; seven wickets, did ye say, against the English? If I had kenned that, Nestie, ye little scoundrel, I would have given them a cheer. Seven wickets they did the job properly." And Speug took his "gundy" with relish.
"Marry Angus Raith, and tak' it, Maggie. He loves you weel." "Angus Raith isna to be thocht o', and it's ill-luck mixing wedding talk wi' death talk. The minister is right; whatna for are we hurrying up the future? Let us be still and wait; good, as well as evil comes, and us not looking for it. I'm sorry you didna hae a pleasanter visit." "It wasna just unpleasant.
"True," I answered, "what little I know of woman would lead me to suppose so; and yet Heaven knows! I shall be sorry to lose you, Donald." "Ay I ken that fine, an' ye'll be unco lonesome wi'out me an' the pipes, I'm thinkin'." "Very!" "Eh, Peter, man! if it wasna' for the lassie, I'd no hae the heart tae leave ye. Ye'll no be forgettin' the 'Wullie Wallace Lament'?" "Never!" said I.
