Why, it would be thrown up to the child, lad and man, as long as he lived! So call your maid, my bonnie Sophy, and set her to packing all your braws and pretty things, and we will turn our faces to Scotland's hills and braes tomorrow morning."
Oh, Toby, darling! do, do take a little of your own good advice, and try to cure yourself of lying in the fender!" "Hoot toots, man, yon's a queer bird!" Bonnie Scotland. I AM an Owl; a very fluffy one, in spite of all that that Bad Boy pulled out! I live in an Ivy Bush.
He had a fixed idea that it always had been theirs, and whenever he told himself as he did this night that so many acres of old Scotland were actually his own, he was aggressively a Scotchman. "It is a bonnie bit o' land," he murmured, "and I hae done as my father Laird Archibald told me. If we should meet in another warld I'll be able to gie a good account o' Crawford and Traquare.
Thou'lt break my heart, thou bonnie bird, That sings beside thy mate; For so I sat, and so I sang, And wist not of my fate." He closed his eyes on the strains, and a thickening at his throat, and movement of his broad, athletic chest, as he continued the air, showed that he was inwardly laboring with some strong emotion.
I saw them come on him with shouting and with singing, and they charmed him where he sat, and away they bore him; and the horse he rode was never shod with iron, nor owned before the mastery of human hand.

So it is fixed, as we may say; fixed as two hearts can make it. But it's very sudden, Daisy; and you are a young thing, my dear." "I know it is sudden," I said, meekly. "It is sudden to me. But he will not like me less for my being so young." Miss Cardigan laughed a short laugh. "Troth, he's no right, being young himself, we may say. You are safe for his liking, my bonnie Daisy.

You took me for a struggling young painter that was the Bonnie Lassie's fault, for I never lied to you about it and after we'd started on that track I didn't well, I didn't have the courage to risk losing you by quitting the masquerade." "How you must have laughed at me all the time!"
Bonnie Bell she quits combing and goes over and sets down on the lounge, and don't say nothing; nor me neither. We both knew about the old man when he started after anybody. He was that kind of a sher'f. It didn't look peaceful none to me what might happen now. "Lock, stock and barrel?" says he to himself. "Lock, stock and barrel that's the way we done. I dislike the color of their hair and eyes.
