Applying this method now to the present instance, Mr.
He worked his mouth round and round, to clear the course, as it were, for a sarcasm. "Fowk often say," he continued, "'at 'am quick beyond the ordinar' in seeing the humorous side o' things." Here Tammas paused, and looked at us. "So ye are, Tammas," said Hendry. "Losh, ye mind hoo ye saw the humorous side o' me wearin' a pair o' boots 'at wisna marrows!
But, on his return to the Castle, he saw lying on his study-table a letter, in the round, firm, rather boyish hand, familiar to him as that of his faithful amanuensis of many years. "It's surely frae Miss Helen Mrs. Bruce, that is," said Malcolm, lifting it. "But folk in love are less mindfu' than ordinar.
"Dinna warstle yersel' to death, Aggie," he said. "I maun haud up wi' my man," she replied. "He's a het man at the scythe ower het! He'll be fit for naething or the week be oot. He canna haud on at this rate!" "Ay can he fine that! Ye dinna ken oor yoong laird. He's worth twa ordinar' men. An' gien ye dinna think me fit to gather til' 'im, I s' lat ye see ye're mistaen, Mr. Crawford."

The dog was a sma' young terrier of the Highland breed, but with a drop to his ears and a crinkle in his frosty coat no' just an ordinar' dog. I know him weel. He came to my place to be fed, near dead of hunger, then led me here. If his master lies in this kirkyard, I'll tak' the bit dog awa' with me." Mr.
Winna ye light down and bide a blink, sir? Or would ye take a mouthfu' o' bread and cheese, or a drink o' ale, till our gudeman comes. It's gude ale, though I shouldna say sae that brews it; but ploughmanlads work hard, and maun hae something to keep their hearts abune by ordinar, sae I aye pit a gude gowpin o' maut to the browst."
