"I hae but to lay my han' to what's neist me, and it's sure to be something that wants deein! I'm clean ashamt sometimes, whan I wauk up i' the mornin, to fin' mysel deein naething!"
It's oot by yon'er, my leddy 'no that far frae the Deid Heid. Wauk up, Lizzy." "I'm no sleepin', Annie," said Lizzy, " though like Ma'colm's auld man," she added with a sigh, "I wad whiles fain be."
Powder-Face was taken to Washington last year with chiefs of other nations to see the "Great Father," so he knew much of the white man's ways, but Wauk was a wild creature of the plains. We kept them bountifully supplied with everything on the table, so our own portion of the dinner would remain unmolested, although neither Faye nor I had much appetite just then.
"It's an elrische kin o' a thing to wauk up i' the mirk mids, wi' a deid corp aside ye! No 'at even yet I gie her up for deid! but I canna help feelin some eerie like no to say fleyt! Bide, man, and see the nicht oot wi' 's, and gie yer mither and me some hert o' grace." James had little inclination to add another to the party, and began to murmur something about his housekeeper.
And gien it be sae, hoo are we to win at ony trouth no yet revealed, 'cep we gang oot intil the dark to meet it? Ye maun caw canny, I admit, i' the mirk; but ye maun caw gien ye wad win at onything!"

The buik may wauk a sense o' want, I daursay, I dinna ken, but it maistly pits intil me the thoucht o' something a body micht weel want, withoot makin me awaur o' wantin 't at that preceese moment. Prayer, with Steenie, as well as with Kirsty, was the utterance, audible or silent, in the ever open ear, of what was moving in him at the time. This was what she now heard him say:
Lord, sen' him the grace o' oppen e'en to see whaur and what he is, that he may cry oot wi' the lave o' 's, puir blin' bodies, to them that winna see. 'Wauk, thoo that sleepest, and come oot o' thy grave, and see the licht o' the Father i' the face o' the Son." But the minister went away intent on classifying the soutar by finding out with what sect of the middle-age mystics to place him.
God grant I be richt aboot that! Eh, gien he wud but wauk up, what a man he would mak! He kens a heap only what's that whaur a man has no licht?" "I certainly do not see things as you would have me believe you see them; and you are hardly capable of persuading me that you do, I fear!" said Blatherwick, with the angry flush again on his face, which had for a moment been dispelled by pallor.
You're not going to fire the thing?" "Ay the morn's mornin', my lord." "What will that be for?" "Ow, jist to wauk yer lordship." "Hm!" said his lordship, with more expression than articulation. "Will I no lod her?" asked Malcolm, throwing down the ramrod, and approaching the swivel, as if to turn the muzzle of it again into the embrasure. "Oh, yes! load her by all means.
The number of guests was small, but their rank was immense, for we entertained Powder-Face, Chief of the Arapahoe Nation, and Wauk, his young squaw, mother of his little chief.
