Real fine they are such as will make my brither entomologists in Edinburgh open their eyes as big as Duddingston Loch when they see them. But there I must be daft to be thinkin' o' moths at such a time. See, Haggis! Hurry on wi' the denner! We'll be striking the camp, for we must mak' straight for Pleasant Valley wi'oot delay."
Still and a' we caught us no fish, and whiles we talked we'd stopped rowing, until the boat drifted into the weeds and long grass that filled one end of the loch. We were caught as fine as ye please, and when we tried to push her free we lost an oar. Noo, we could not row hame wi'oot that oar, so I reached oot wi' my rod and tried to pull it in.
It's auld an' casten an' bow-ribbit, it's true, but it wad ill become me to drap it wi'oot a thoucht, whan him 'at could mak haill loaves, said, 'Gether up the fragments 'at naething be lost. Na," she continued, still looking about her, "I maun jist dee my duty by the auld umbrell; syne come o' 't 'at likes, I carena."
"I doobt, father, I'm no likly to preach ony mair: I've come to see 'at I never was fit for the wark, neither had I ever ony ca' til't." "It may be sae, Jeemie," answered his father; "but we'll haud awa frae conclusions till ye're better, and able to jeedge wi'oot the bias o' ony thrawin distemper."
"Oh, Lord, I dinna ken onything I want the day; please gi'e us what we need, an' what ye want us to hae, wi'oot our askin' it." When their prayers were ended Andrew would say: "Sandy, have you found anything He says?" and there-upon, if he had, Sandy would speak. Dawtie never said a word, but sat and listened with her big eyes, generally stroking some creature in her lap.
Folk must have them, or the country will gae to ruin. And it maun be made possible for people to bring up their weans wi'oot sae much trouble and difficulty as there is for them the noo. Profiteering we canna endure and will'na, I'm telling you. Let the profiteer talk o' vested richts and interests or whine o' them, since he whines mair than he talks.
Ye hae been hearkened till wi'oot interruption, and I maun hae fair play here whatever I get frae yersel'. I didna deny the fac. Wha could deny a fac? But I denied a' the haill affair, i' the licht o' wickedness and thievin' that Mr Crann was castin' upo' 't.
Much good it will do me to win the strike and the shillin' or twa extra a week we're striking for if I lose them!" I'm ashamed to say I hadn't thought of the strike in that licht before. It had been a grand chance to be idle wi'oot havin' to reproach myself; to enjoy life a bit, and lie abed of a morn wi' a clear conscience.
"'Tell a lee and stick to it, is my rule, and a good one, too, in honest England. I for one 'll no think ony the worse o' ye if yer memory plays yer false." "D'yo' think I care a kick what yo' think o' me?" the boy asked brutally. "Nay; there's 'nough liars in this fam'ly wi'oot me." The candle trembled and was still again. "A lickin' or a lie tak' yer choice!"
'Gien yer father and Kirsty wad but come in to persuaud ye! I'm clean lost wi'oot them! 'For the puir idiot hasna the sense to ken what's wantit o' him! supplemented Steenie, with a laugh almost merry. 'Daur ye, cried his mother indignantly, 'mint at sic a word and my bairn thegither? He's my bonny man! 'Na, mother, na!
