He's no been lang here, sir, and I dinna think onybody kens him by ony other name. But it's no right to rin him doun ahint his back, for he's a fell fox-hunter, though he's maybe no just sae clever as some o' the folk hereawa wi' the waster."
He kens ye hae dene yer best or if no yer vera best for wha daur say that? ye hae at least dene what ye could!" "Na, na!" he answered, resuming the speech of his boyhood a far better sign of him than his mother understood, "I ken ower muckle, and that muckle ower weel, to lay sic a flattering unction to my sowl! It's jist as black as the fell mirk!
A teem purse makes a bleat merchant. Ane year a Nurish, seven years a Daw. Ane ill word begets another, and it were at at the Bridge at London. A Wool-seller kens a Wool-buyer. Auld men are twice bairns. All fellows, Jock and the Laird. A hasty man never wanted woe. A silly bairn is eith to lear. As good merchant tines as wins. A racklesse hussy makes mony thieves. A hungry lowse bites fair.
Disna he ken your wark, what wi' yer pride an' what wi' yer ill-placed graititude,'ill be worth til 'im that o' twa men? The man's nae coof! He kens what he's aboot! "To show you, Grizzie, that you are unfair to him, I feel bound to tell you that he pressed on me the loan of fifty pounds." "I tell ye sae!" screamed Grizzie, starting again to her feet. "God forbid ye took 'im at his offer!"
Then he began to rub his hands and smile upon me in a deprecating, imbecile way. "There's nothing I wouldna do to pleasure ye, Cornel," taking a step further back. "I'm sure she kens I've aye said I never had to do with a mair fair, weel-spoken gentleman " Here Jarvis came to a pause, again looking at me, rubbing his hands. "Well?" I said.
Abbs, she kens weel how to keep a lass wi' a tocher so what does the Master but sends a letter ower to our Prior, bidding him send two trusty brethren, as though from the King, to conduct her to Whitby? 'Ha! said Malcolm; 'but that's ower the Border. 'Even so; but the Glenuskies are all English at heart, and it sicker trained away the silly lassie. 'And then? the other man-at-arms laughed.
He was standin' at the gate, which, as a'body kens, is but sax steps frae the hoose, an' I wondered at 'im neither runnin' awa nor comin' forrit. I speired at 'im what he meant by terrifyin' a bairn, but he didna say naething. He juist stood. It was ower dark to see his face richt, an' I wasna nane ta'en aback yet, no till he spoke. Oh, but he had a fearsome word when he did speak.
Hae patience they telled me aye that was the owercome o' life hae patience, there's a braw day coming yet. Gude kens it never cam to me; and here I am, wi' nayther man nor bairn to ca' my ain, wearying a' folks wi' my ill tongue, and you just the first, Mr. Erchie!" "I have a difficulty in knowing what you mean," said Archie. "Weel, and I'll tell ye," she said.
Scots, forby all they ate and drank no, no, sir, I stand beyond challenge; but as for plaguing myself with county business, let them that aught the mare shoe the mare. The commissioners of supply would see my back broken before they would help me in the burgh's work, and all the world kens the difference of the weight between public business in burgh and landward.
"It is only Master Deputy-Chamberlain Maxwell," said Sir Mungo Malagrowther, "expressing his joy to see Lord Glenvarloch at Court, whose father gave him his office at least I think he is speaking to that purport for your lordship kens my imperfection." A subdued laugh, such as the situation permitted, passed round amongst those who heard this specimen of Sir Mungo's sarcastic temper.
