Gillie viewed this wondrous spectacle with an awe-stricken heart, and then vented his feelings in a prolonged yell of ecstasy. "Ain't it splendid, sir?" he cried, turning his glowing eyes on Slingsby. "Majestic!" exclaimed the artist, whose enthusiasm was equal to that of his companion, though not quite so demonstrative.

It was raither a stately kin'ness than that condescension which is the vice o' Christians. But he had naething to do wi' them. The first comman'ment was a' he kent. He loved God nae a God like Jesus Christ, but the God he kent and that was a' he could.
And for Alec I hae great houpes. He comes o' a guid stock. His father, honest man, was ane o' the Lord's ain, although he didna mak' sic a stan' as, maybe, he ought to hae dune; and gin his mither has been jist raither saft wi' him, and gi'en him ower lang a tether, he'll come a' richt afore lang, for he's worth luikin efter."

Ye dinna seem to think it possible she sud tak his wull raither nor yours! that the love o' Christ should constrain her ayont the love offert her by Jeames Bletherwick! We hae conversed aboot ye, sir, but niver differt!" "But allowing us you and me to be of different opinions on some points, must that be a reason why she and I should not love one another?"
"She's at the schule, ye ken, uncle, and we maunna interfere wi' her schoolin. Hoo does that leein' ted, Robert Bruce, carry himsel' to ye, bairn?" "Ow! I jist never min' him," answered Annie. "Weel, it's a' he deserves at your han'. But gin I war you, I wad let him ken that gin he saws your corn ye hae a richt to raither mair nor his gleanins." "I dinna ken what ye mean," answered Annie.
"The doctors in the toons hae nurses an' a' kinds o' handy apparatus," said MacLure to Drumsheugh when Bell had gone, "but you an' me 'ill need tae be nurse the nicht, an' use sic things as we hev. "It 'ill be a lang nicht and anxious wark, but a' wud raither hae ye, auld freend, wi' me than ony man in the Glen. Ye're no feared tae gie a hand?" "Me feared? No, likely.

"And is Mr Lumbard in love with any one?" asked Susan. "Of course he is," answered Gillie, "he's in love with hisself.
"I'd better not, miss," replied the boy with profound respect in tone and manner, for he had yet to be paid for the job; "he seems raither frisky, an' might take a fancy to bolt, you know." "Let his head go, I say!" returned Miss Diana with a flashing of the blue eyes, and a pursing of the rosebud mouth that proved her to be one of Adam's race after all.
Bacri sent me wid a few words o' comfort to 'ee, an' some purvisions, which I raither fear we've bin tramplin' about in the dirt; but no, here it is," he added, picking up the wallet, which had come off in the struggle, "all right, an' I make no doubt it'll be of use to 'ee.
