The respective parties were ordered to stand their ground ; and the two leaders advanced about seventy or eighty paces each towards the middle of the space, with their loaded guns cocked and presented at each other. A certain sum was demanded for the restitution of the cattle ; Mr R 1 had not so much about him, but offered to give what money he had in his pocket, being a few pounds short of what the robber had asked. The bargain was concluded, the money paid, the...
Strana 79 - I will treat," replied Mr. R 1: " but can I trust to your keeping faith?" "Trust to the honour of a gentleman!" rejoined the other, with an imperious air.

Strana 96 - Drumouchter ; and having risen as early next morning as the light of that season would permit him, he set out through the snow for the Inn of Dalwhinnie. He was on horseback, and attended by a single servant. He had not proceeded far into the wild and rocky part of the pass, where high poles, painted black, erected along the edge of the road, serve as beacons to prevent the traveller from being engulfed in the snow wreaths, when he descried a man at several hundred yards distance coming riding towards...
Strana 135 - She 110 be wantan' to be a boutcher. But noo," added he, lifting up a huge can of ale, " she be biddin' ye a' gudo evenin', shentilmans, and gude hells, and King Shorge gude hells, an' mony sanks to ye a' ; and tell King Shorge she sail keep her bit shullin' on a string tied round her neck for a bonny die." And, so rising up, Ian put the ale can to his head, and drained it slowly to the bottom. "But, my good fellow...
Strana 163 - Ou, he's a terrible man the laird," continued the landlord. " What think ye ?—there was ae night that a poor tinker body had putten his bit pauney into ane of the laird's inclosures, that it might get a sly rug o' the grass. Aweel, the laird comes oot in the mornin', an...

Strana 76 - A little way farther down the river, the passage was contracted to a rude and scrambling footpath, and behind them the glen was equally confined. Both extremities of the small amphitheatre were shaded by almost impenetrable thickets of birch, hazel, alder, and holly, whilst a few wild pines found a scanty subsistence for their roots in midway air, on the face of the crags, and were twisted and wreathed, for lack of nourishment, into a thousand fantastic and picturesque forms.
