As to old women, there's raither a broad sprinklin' of 'em in the court, rangin' from the ages of seventy to a hundred an twenty, more or less, an' you'll take some time to go over 'em all, capp'n, if you don't know your old woman's name." "Her name is Roby ," said the seaman.
"What for didna ye tell me what fowk was sayin' aboot me anent Lizzy Findlay?" "'Cause I didna believe a word o' 't, an' I wasna gaein' to add to yer troubles." "Lizzy never mootit sic a thing?" "Never." "I was sure o' that! Noo I 'll awa' to Kirkbyres God help me! I wad raither face Sawtan an' his muckle tyke. But dinna ye expec' ony news. Gien yon ane kens, she's a' the surer no to tell.
I liked the 'ogsheads best w'en I was 'ungry, an' that was most always, 'cause I could sometimes pick a little sugar that was left in the cracks an' 'oles, w'en they 'adn't bin cleaned out a'ready. Also I slep' under railway-arches, and on door-steps. But sometimes I 'ad raither disturbed nights, 'cause the coppers wouldn't let a feller sleep in sitch places if they could 'elp it."

He's not half so given to serious talk as you are, Whitewing, though I'm free to admit that he does take a fit o' that sort now an' again, and seems raither fond of it.
"Why, as for bein' timid," said the porter, rubbing the end of his nose, which was copper-coloured and knotty, "I don't think I ever knowed that there feelin', but it does take a feller aback to be told all of a suddent, after he's reg'larly laid up in port, to get ready to trip anchor in twelve hours and bear away over the North Sea not that I cares a brass fardin' for that fish-pond, blow high, blow low, but it's raither suddent, d'ye see, and my rig ain't just seaworthy."
Besides, it might be raither awkward, sir, to do Jack Ketch's dooty without the benefit of judge, jury, witnesses, or clergy."

"Well, I say, you're com comin' it raither strong, ain't you, young feller?" said a voice at his elbow.
"I wad raither not," he replied, "but we maun see hoo he cairries himsel'." "Du naething till 'im for my sake, Ma'colm. Ye can hae naething again' him yersel'." It was too dark for Malcolm to see the keen look of wistful regret with which Lizzy tried to pierce the gloom and read his face: for a moment the poor girl thought he meant he had loved her himself.
"I wad raither tell 't i' the gloamin' roon' a winter fire," said Malcolm, with another anxious look at Lady Florimel. "Do go on," she said. "I want so much to hear it!" "Go on," said the marquis; and Malcolm, seating himself near them, began. I need not again tell my reader that he may take a short cut if he pleases.
Naa; I'd raither hev a meadow wi' posies, or th' moors when they're covered wi' yethbobs. If heaven's baan to be all streets, I'd as soon stop o' this side though they be paved wi' gowd an' o'.
