'Begorra, I'd be better plased. says the gineral, says he, 'to take himself than the Duke iv Willinton, says he, 'an' Sir Edward Blakeney into the bargain, says he. 'The Duke of Wellinton and Gineral Blakeney, says Bonypart, 'is great for planning, no doubt, says he; 'but Billy Malowney's the boy for ACTION, says he 'an' action's everything, just now, says he.
I heard him yatterin' awa' till himsel' i' the back shop, "The great battle o' Waterloo was fochen in echteen fifteen atween the English an' the French, an' Bloocher landit on the scene juist as Wellinton was gien the order Tuts, ye stupid blockheid, Nathan, that saft-soap barrel disna gae there 'Up gairds an' at them." He gaed on like this for the feck o' the efternune, an' even in the middle o' his tea, when I speered if it was het eneuch, he lookit at me akinda ravelled like, and says, "Although ye was startin' for that star the day you was born, stride-legs on a cannon ball, ye wudna be there till ye was mair than ninety 'ear auld."
"I ken mair aboot thae things than you, fully; an', though I am a tattie man, look at Abraham Linkin; he was waur than a tattie man to begin wi'; an' the Jook o' Wellinton michty, he was born in Ireland; an' look what he cam' till!

He was that anxious to gie me a hand that he hendered me near half an 'oor. This gaed on a' Sabbath! He was three times at the kirk, an' he roostit an' sang till the bit lassies i' the very koir lookit aboot akinda feard like. But Sandy never jowed his jundie. He put in anither button o' his coat, an' stack in till the Auld Hunder like the Jook o' Wellinton at the battle o' Waterloo.
