Some laughed att me afterwards for my feares wherein I was, which I more & more hoped for better intertainment. We must goe downe the river. I was driven to swime to it, where I found it full of watter, and a hole that 2 fists might goe through it, so that I could not drive it to land without mending it.
I'm asking where the water came from and what it was doing there, and why you were so certain that it wasn't a leak, McPhee?" "For good reason-for good an' sufficient reason." "Give it to me, then." "Weel, it's a reason that does not properly concern myself only. To be preceese, I'm of opinion that it was due, the watter, in part to an error o' judgment in another man. We can a' mak' mistakes."
"There's nowt like Bridlington sands," he would say, in self-defence. "I'm noan sayin' but what there's a better colour i' t' watter at Blackpool, but there's ower mich wind on' t sea. Sea-watter gits into your mouth when you're swimmin' and then you've to blow like a grampus.
Fess some het watter, an' some linen cloots." "I hae nane o' naither," replied Jean from the bottom of the stair. "Mak up the fire an' put on some watter direckly. I s' fin' some clooties," she added, turning to Malcolm, "gien I sud rive the tail frae my best Sunday sark."
The order of makeing was thus: the corne being dried between 2 stones into powder, being very thick, putt it into a kettle full of watter, then a quantity of Bear's grease. This banquett being over, they cryed to me Shagon, Orimha, that is, be hearty, stone or ledd. Every one withdrew into his quarters, and so did I. But to the purpose of my history.
"A great change, Hicky, showing what man can do." "Ay, a great change, Mester Dick, but somehow theer are times when I get longing for the black watter and the wild birds, and all as it used to be." "Yes, Hicky," said Dick almost sadly as he saw in memory's mirror the days of his boyhood; "but this is a world of change, man; we must look forward and not back."
Jacob kept saying, probably to incite people to work harder; but it was not necessary, for everyone was doing his or her best, when, just as they were toiling their hardest, the wheelwright took a bucket of water, hurled it as far as he could, and then dashed on the empty vessel and turned away. "No good," he said bitterly, as he wiped his face. "Fire joost spits at me when I throw in the watter.
"Goodish thirty feet o' water in that there!" surmised Pickard. "It's none safe for childer to play about theer's nowt to protect 'em. Next time I see Mestur Shepherd I shall mak' it my business to tell him so; he owt either to drain that watter off or put a fence around it." "Is Mr. Shepherd the property-owner?" asked Byner. "Aye! it's all his, this land," answered Pickard.
"'Hurrah! here be another now, saith Bill Blacksmith, grinning; 'another coom to help us. What a grave gentleman! A warship of the pace, at laste! "For a gentleman, on a cue-ball horse, was coming slowly down the hill on tother zide of watter, looking at us in a friendly way, and with a long papper standing forth the lining of his coat laike.
"Gin the watter be i' the hoose, there's no ootgang. It'll be doon afore the mornin'. Lie still." Annie lay down again, and Tibbie resumed: "Gin we be i' the watter, the watter's i' the how o' his han'. Gin we gang to the boddom, he has only to open's fingers, an' there we are, lyin' i' the loof o' 's han', dry and warm. Lie still."
