A fine, canty, friendly, cracky man, that suffered with the stomach, poor body! and was rael ta'en up about the good-brother. O man, David, try and learn to have some kind of intelligence!" "I'll try, Alan," said I. "And now for him of the red head," says he; "was he gaun fast or slow?" "Betwixt and between," said I. "No kind of a hurry about the man?" he asked. "Never a sign of it," said I.
"'Where are ye gaun, ye mason lads, Wi' a' your ladders, lang and hie? 'We gang to berry a corbie's nest, That wons not far frae Woodhouselee." No light matter was it to harry that corbie's nest.

"Weel, Jeanie, I am something herse the night, and I canna sing muckle mair; and troth, I think, I am gaun to sleep."

I had tried a 'rose-knot, a 'witch-knot, a 'chaise-driver's knot, and a 'running-knot, wi' every kind o' knot that fingers could twist the neckcloth into, but the confounded starch made every ane look waur than anither.
