I beg yer pardon for mentionin' the wuman, my dear," she added with sudden divergence, bending towards the still face, and speaking in a tenderly apologetic tone; "I ken weel ye canna bide the verra name o' her; but it s' be the last time ye s' hear 't to a' eternity, my doo." Then turning again to Malcolm. "Lay yer han' upon her broo, I tell ye," she said.
Come awa hame wi' me, my dear; my wife's anither jist like mysel, an'll turn naething to ye but the smilin side o' her face, I s' un'ertak! She's a fine, herty, couthy, savin kin' o' wuman, my wife! Come ye til her, and see!" Isy rose to her feet. "Eh, but I would like to luik ance mair intil the face o' a bonny, clean wuman!" she said.
"Eh, wuman? gien ever ane wana place in a faimily, her ain by foreordeenment o' the fatherly providence 'at luiks efter the faimilies o' men, Grizzie, ye're that wuman!" Word to please Grizzie better the laird could not have found. It sunk in and in, for her pleasure could make no show, there being no room for any growth in the devotion of her ministrations.
A wuman micht du that, but a man, and special a wuman's ain ae son, canna weel du 't that is, gien there's ony ither coorse 'at can be followt. It seems to me ye maun tak the risk o' her bottle. And it may be no ill thing 'at she sud disgrace hersel oot and oot.

I'm maist as guid's a man to gang wi' ye wi' the advantage o' bein' a wuman, as my mither tells me:" She called her grandmother, MOTHER. "ye see we can daur mair nor ony man but, Guid forgie me! no mair nor the yoong laird whan he flang his CAESAR straucht i' the maister's face this verra mornin'." The laird stopped, turned sharply round, and looked at her. "What did he that for?" he said.
"Come in an' rist yersel' a bit, an' I s' tak ye back on to yer ain property an easier gait nor ower a dry stane-dyke." "Gien it BE my property," returned his lordship, "I wad be obleeged to ye, laird, to haud yer fowk aff o' 't!" "Grizzie, wuman," said the laird, turning to her, "ye dinna surely want to bring me to disgrace!
Women 's born till 't, an' they tak it, an' are thankfu'; but a man never gies in till 't, an' sae it comes harder upo' him nor upo' them. Hear me, my lord: gien there be a man upo' this earth wha wad shield a wuman, that man 's Ma'colm Colonsay." "If only she weren't his sister!" murmured the marquis.
But whan man or wuman repents and heumbles himsel, there is He to lift them up, and that higher than ever they stede afore!" "Syne they're no to be despised that fa'!" "Nane despises them, lassie, but them that haena yet learnt the danger they're in o' that same fa' themsels.
An ill man, or wuman, like Mistress Catanach, for enstance, 'at's a'boady, 'cep' what o' her 's deevil," "Nonsense!" said the marquis, angrily; but Malcolm went on: " maun be jist fu' o' ghaists! An' for onything I ken, that 'll be what maks ghaists o' themsel's efter they 're deid, settin' them waukin', as they ca' 't.
