It's a kittle cast she has gien me to play; but yet it's fair play, and I winna baulk her. Mr. Osbaldistone, I dwell not very far from hence--my kinsman can show you the way. Leave Mr. Owen to do the best he can in Glasgow--do you come and see me in the glens, and it's like I may pleasure you, and stead your father in his extremity. I am but a poor man; but wit's better than wealth--and, cousin (turning from me to address Mr. Jarvie),

Na, na, Robin, said the cautious burgher,

I seldom like to leave the Gorbals, I have nae freedom to gang among your wild hills, Robin, and your kilted red-shanks--it disna become my place, man.
gpt
The devil damn your place and you baith! reiterated Campbell.

The only drap o' gentle bluid that's in your body was our great grand-uncle's that was justified at Dumbarton, and you set yourself up to say ye wad degrogate frae your place to visit me! Hark thee, man, I owe thee a day in harst--I'll pay up your thousan pund Scots, plack and bawbee, gin ye'll be an honest fellow for anes, and just daiker up the gate wi' this Sassenach.
gpt
Hout awa' wi' your gentility, replied the Bailie:

I swear to ye, said the Highlander,
gpt
Say nae mair, Robin--say nae mair. We'll see what may be dune. But ye maunna expect me to gang ower the Hieland line--I'll gae beyond the line at no rate. Ye maun meet me about Bucklivie or the Clachan of Aberfoil, and dinna forget the needful.

Nae fear--nae fear, said Campbell;

I'll be as true as the steel blade that never failed its master. But I must be budging, cousin, for the air o' Glasgow tolbooth is no that ower salutary to be a Highlander's constitution.

Troth, replied the merchant,

Hout tout, man! let that flee stick in the wa', answered his kinsman;

Ye may be right, Robin, replied the Bailie, after a moment's reflection;
gpt
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle my horses, and call up my man; Come open your gates, and let me gae free, I daurna stay langer in bonny Dundee.

Whisht, sir, said the magistrate, in an authoritative tone--
gpt
Friends o' mine, Stanchells--friends o' mine, silenced all disposition to inquiries. We now descended into the lower vestibule, and hallooed more than once for Dougal, to which summons no answer was returned; when Campbell observed, with a sardonic smile,
human
That if Dougal was the lad he kent him, he would scarce wait to get thanks for his ain share of the night's wark, but was in all probability on the full trot to the pass of Ballmaha
gpt
And left us--and, abune a', me mysell, locked up in the tolbooth a' night! exclaimed the Bailie, in ire and perturbation.
human
Ca' for fore-hammers, sledge-hammers, pinches, and coulters; send for Deacon Yettlin, the smith, and let him ken that Bailie Jarvie's shut up in the tolbooth by a Hieland blackguard, whom he'll hang up as high as Haman
