Man, the chappie wi' the nickerbuckers got up in an awfu' pavey, an' misca'ed Sandy for a' the vagues you never heard the like! "Look ye hear, my bit birkie," says Sandy, gien a gey wild-like wink wi' his richt e'e, "you speak when ye're spoken till!
'And I went and fetched th' parish doctor, for I thought he'd ha' died before my face, he was so wan, and ashen-grey, so thin, too, his eyes seem pushed out of his bony face. 'That last time feyther's eyes were starting, wild-like, and as if he couldn't meet ours, or bear the sight on our weeping. It was a bad look-out for Philip's purpose; but after a pause he went bravely on.
That she kept money and a good deal of it in her quarters had long been suspected and as fiercely denied; but no one had dreamed of such a sum as was revealed. In her frenzy she had shrieked that the savings of her lifetime were burning, that there was over three thousand dollars in the box; but she hid her treasure and gasped and stammered and swore she was talking "wild-like."

"Her mother died when she was quite a child," said George. "To think that she should remember her and speak of her, but never once of me." The woman took him into the little bedroom in which his wife had died.

As I said, he run off, but jest as I turned towards the tavern, I see him a-coming back, kinder wild-like; so I slipped behind a lumber-pile, hoping he might come over the bridge, so I could lay my fingers on him.
