"Keek into the draw-well, Janet, Janet, Then ye'll see your bonny sell, My joe Janet." "So ye're no thinking to let us in, Mr Halliday? Weel, weel; gude e'en to you ye hae seen the last o' me, and o' this bonny die too," said Jenny, holding between her finger and thumb a splendid silver dollar. "Give him gold, give him gold," whispered the agitated young lady.
I thought, at first, it would be fine to have a talking goat, with whom I could converse as I rode about my city on his back; but keek-eek-eek-eek! the rascal treats me as if I were a chimney sweep instead of a King. Heh, heh, heh, keek, eek! A chimney sweep hoo, hoo, hoo! and me a King! Funny, isn't it?"
I say mit my husband dat night, 'Vill you keek me hard, if you pleas'? Mais, he cannot, he hav' zee gout in zee grande toe, und he can't keek vurth one sou! und zat is my second tr'uble!" Behind her broad back the Colonel confessed that had she expressed such a wish on the occasion of the mistake, he would willingly have obliged her, as he was quite free from gout.
"Trout," answered Jock, his eyes shining with excitement. "Let me take a keek," said Jean, flopping down beside them and craning her neck over the edge. They were all three peering with breathless interest into the water when a strange voice behind them made them jump. For an instant they thought it might be Angus Niel. "Hello!" said the voice.
How no? Sacramento! If that I am president and do not make one meelion dolla in the one year you shall keek me on that side! valgame Dios!

There's nae law agane openin' hit is there?" said Malcolm, approaching the door next to the one in dispute.
Many's the tale I could tell o' his doin' an' our sufferin'. Why, I mind a poor lump of a 'prentice as I wunst had, a loon as never could raise a keek: poor soul, he bin underground this many year.
