+For aa that the sun, hoisin itsel i the lift owreheed, thraetent an
+efter-heat that wad be fit ti muzz folk, the forenuin air was caller an
+clear, an stoor was awanteen whan A tuik ti the lang road that rins doon
+throwe Newtoon an bye the Dryburgh loaneen on ti Bosells Green. Everly,
+the road was thrang wui droves o nowt-aa keinds, untellin-kye an tiups
+an keilies an yowes, mixty- maxty, rowtin an mehhin an blehhin; doddies
+an starks an queys an stots an gimmers an hoggies an grumphies an
+guissies-wui nurrin teikes snackin an yowfin an boochin at ther cluits;
+bit fient a steekin bull ti yoke on ov a body, for the bease war
+mensefih, an ilka herd hed a bleithe word i the byegangeen. Still an on,
+thir billies hed a sair hatter or they got the bruits weerd bye the
+cairts an hurlbarrihs an yirrint-vans an thing, that every-wee-bittie
+dunsht other i the strooshie. Faix, it was aa leike thon killeen-hoose
+brae at Mainchester, thonder (div ee kenn'd?); bit no a biggeen keind
+was there ti be seen, nor was there ony warden polis ti redd oot the
+bizz wui skeely maig.
+Now, at lang last, the hinmaist doonfaa o the 0road brings ee oot richt
+at Bosells Green, an there the road pairts i twae. The maist feck o the
+hooses cooer coothy on the tae hand i the yeh straigglin street o
+Bosells, croonin the braeheeds hich abuin Tweed an forenent bieldy
+Dryburgh; an on the tother hand- the richt-the road wunds aboot the
+Green an makes up the brae.
+
+A cood fain heh dwinglt, an daikert aboot in sleepery Bosells, bit A
+fair durstna, or thance A micht never heh gotten off the bit aa day. Bit
+afore A sterteet neice an cannie on the brae up atween the planteens, A
+cruikeet ma hoach an clappeet masel doon a meenint on ov a toggle bank,
+athort the Green, an luit ma een feast on the bonnie gerssy haugh- that
+weel-sorteet an taen sic grand care o. For Bosells hes muckle mense o er
+Green!
+A beguid the climm as A meent ti end eet- "huillie, huillie, up the
+brae" ! The leikes o yon's no ti be munteet at a teerin kip, an forbye,
+it was harly the waather for stressin. An, whan A tuik the kaik, an
+turnt keindih pechlt, A was rale glad ti caa cannie an keek backiewards
+at the airt A'd comed. Fleis an midges an bummies war skiddlin an bizzin
+aboot ma lugs in cluds, areddies-kittle craiters (mae ways as yin) an
+fasheez ti middle wui, inti buit. A luit thir yins birr at, an fasht
+thum nane, an they did iz nae skaith.
+Ferrer on, the road turnt bieldeet o baith seides, wui derk fir
+planteens that (on the skleff, strecht streetch at the heed o the brae)
+aamaist pletteet ther
+brainches abuinheed. A met twae awfih sairious-on chiels, rale leike as
+ther seam was ti girn the bits o moppies skiltin aboot; an than a
+chairkin road-injin, skreevin an skrauchin leike a skartin skeelie on a
+skuil sklate. A duist hyit jairgin things, an that menseless road-injin
+fair garrd mei girrl! The bummies sterteet ther kittleen an daffeen
+again be A was weel oot o the skuggin wuds, an seine, at the kaim o the
+hicht, A turnt roond for another keek ahint. An, whow! it was a sicht ti
+be meindeet!
+There, at the yeh hand, tooered the threeple Eeldons; there spaaldert,
+in a weide, weel-wuddeet howe wui gressy haughlands an trei-cled glens,
+Tweed's storied dale; an there, doon ablow, smuillin- in laeuch at the
+brae-fit, little Bosells Beekeet i the sun. A was fair cairreet! A was
+vext A'd naebody nerr iz ti speak ti, so ti geet vent A e'en blethert ti
+masel! An a feelin-herteet yallih-yorleen, hippin alang the deike,
+cockeet eis luggie an cheepeet-in rale kaif an innerly.
+Let cleverality, mockreef folk that are unco smert, wui ther tale, an
+ready ti hoonsh an take a len o hyimmalt claivers the leikis o meine,
+dae a eer or twae's woark- ay ! yeh roond twalmont's, duist!- parrackeet
+in ov a ceetie, mang reekin lums an chawkin smuists, where yin canna sei
+bye yin's neb for skomfeeshin rowks an drowes, an than yibbleens they'd
+think as muckle, an aa, o a cuintrie-seide where yin's sicht can spang
+owre dizzens o meiles; where yin braiths God's air clear an no soddlt
+wui suitty flichts; where, forbye, isteed o caimeecal-laden cluds, a
+body can finnd the praicious scents o field an foggeege, flueesh an
+flooer! A vast o folk dinna ken whan they're weel off
+Yet, yince in a day, thir braes hed seen unco sichts. Thonder was the
+moniment A jaloozed ti be the Lilliard's Edge Memorial, so that A was
+stannin on bluiddy Ancrum Muir. Nae cannie daffin bull- reel splore that
+fearfih fecht, whan the Dooglas an the Scott wrait off a wheen auld
+scores an saw day-aboot wui the auld-enemy.
+Threh the mids o thir verra busses wad stert the huirn oo read aboot in
+oor bulks: ilk sheuch an heidie-hole i thir verra rigs was den for
+fairce sodgers in fechtin-graith-Scots an Ingleesh in a fraineeshin,

+knowes wad heide the gear o war. Hei'd little need be hen-herteet that

+dei-in, an garrd the hyill yins devall an take a barley. Oor forebears
+an ther Southron neebers coodna sit soft ava i thae days: they war

+Folk are muckle ti mean that beide on aether seide o the Mairches atween
+twae prood an towty countries 'at canna grei an are aye cuissen-oot. The

+(the whulk, A unk, maun heh been buggen keinda jingle-jointeet, or maim

+juist paat up a moniment fer better an brawer be what the auld yin was.
+An now, aabody stravaigin the Borderland-gangers an reiders-sood ken
+Peinelheuch.
+A'd breesteet the brae now, an the road swaipeet doon afore iz. Ay! doon
+ti ma caav-grund o Teviot- dale-an A lilteet a sang an whewed an
+yuooted, leike as A'd gane wuth, an laap an flaang as yauld-as a
+wuddie--boondin bleithely on wui ma' airms shuggiein lowce threh ma
+oxters. A was abuin-the- woarlt! A was naether ti haud nor ti binnd! If
+onybody hed eyed iz, hei'd heh thocht A was shuir ready for Bowden!!
+Yeh thing ailed iz; A'd turnt awfih dry!
+"Bring ben the loch!" yince quo "Jamie the Poyeter;" an faith A was
+muckle o his meind eenow. A felt A cood heh drucken
+waeter-(waeter-waeter, waal-waeter, sprigget-waeter, or waeter threh a
+pownd!) -till ma lugs played crack! or till there, was nochts left o the
+nerrest-hand loch bit paddihs, fishes stankin for braith, an glet. So,
+raison or nane, A claam a fence o spakes an stuckeens, an jookeet doon
+ti a wumplin burnie, where A cood sei sic a gliff as A gien the baggies
+an preenheeds whan A shot ma dish inti the waeter. Weiceleik-e, A juist
+tuik a toot-a sirple ti seind oot ma mooth, juist-an than back A speeld
+ti the road again.
+Bye the policies o Ancrum Hoose-fair cled o treis-A stoaggeet-on on the
+shadeet seide, where juist the sunny blinks, keekin throwe atween the
+leafs, spurtelt the road wui greimeens o licht. Doon ablow glinteet Yill
+Waeter, trinnlin alang owre its staney chennel an trinklin ti its treist
+wui Teiot. The fisslin leafs trimmelt an bevvert i the simmer breeze on
+its banks, an the flicherin burdies daibbelt an dookeet; an A fair
+ill-wulled thum o ther plowtereen an ther swattereen. A bittock fether
+on, the road splet, an, ti the richt, spanged the Yill owre a brig
+aseide a creeper-kivvert cottage wuin wui its gairdeen a perfect sotter
+o bonnie flooers. An a wutchy-butterflei was makin the maist o its grand
+bat, jikkerin aboot threh flooer ti flooer.
+There, yoint the waeter, an fell croose an canty on the brae-face, lay
+Ancrum!
+Yeh bit sate on the kei-stane o the brig; yeh deek at the gurlin Yill;
+an A hoyed strecht for the "clachan." A maun heh been woare ti waeter as
+ti corn, a hantle, for A'll ouwn A was dry again, turnt, lang or this!
+Bit A was yap now, tui; no a beite o meat hed a etten threh ma brekfist
+ti the now, an A was vext A hedna socht a piece i ma pootch for ti
+mootle i the road. So ee sei A thocht A micht fell twae dogs wui yeh
+bane: sei Ancrum, an geet a chack o something ti serr as an off-pit, if
+it was duist a gowpeenfih berries or a penny gray rowe, wui a slokener
+owre an abuin. Hunger's a grand kitcheen; it was aa yin ti mei,
+forgimmih-tih! A wasna saucy! No that A was hert-hungery nih, aether; or
+thance A micht heh been gaun pookin "cheese-an-breed" off o the hedges
+ti nattle at.
+
+Aa vow yins thas's ooreet an oold wui this neeger-wheeper ov a woarlt,
+an yirns ti sid-doon in ov a hyimmly bit away threh aa the strowe an the
+catter- battereen-ee sood gang an stop at Ancrum! Ancrum -where
+weel-putten-on Naiter's buskeet in er bonniest braws, where the caller
+air ud seek roses back ti the chafts o the palliest peenge an wad
+spruish an turn leify again the maist shilpeet an disjaskeet! Ay! thon's

+flooer, an wui breezes threh the Border hills ti blaw away the ooder an
+the speeder-wobs threh a body's herns-ti gar the reed bluid lowp, an pit
+yin that's off eis bat suin on the way o mends again; ti gar yin that's
+duist a peike at eis meat turn that ei can heck leike a pick-maw. Thon's
+the keind o bit-steepeet i the lore o the bye-gane days; a bit that saw
+weild toozy dae-eens lang or monie a massy jumpeet-up toon was buggen or
+thocht o. Monie a creestin bit wui a guid ruice o itsel A ken that
+coodna haud the cannle ti Ancrum for wurth!
+A sud-doon on ov a furm oot-bye the road-end, yonder, duist for ti take
+a richt look at yin o the bonniest an pleesantest bits 'at ever A've
+clappeet een on o. Planteet aboot the Green i the mids, the treis gien
+skug ti the Auld Cross-sair duifft an neiteet an nickeet wui Teime an
+the waather . The bairns new oot o the skuil for leave, gaed lowpin an
+rinnin aboot deike an gerss, -the wainches jumpin the tow, an the
+callants daein kittles. A dandert aboot amang the auld byres an smiddie
+ends an yetts; an than a gaed inti a bit an slokent ma drooth (oot ov a
+tanker lippin- fowe-nane o eer eend-mizzer!) wui a lang waucht that
+garrd iz sich. Neext A speerd if A cood geet ochts ti eat,-if there was
+a mael o meat ti be bocht- skecht-gotten a len o (!)-mumpeet(!!).
+Ehhbit NA!! Nehh!
+A was telld that if A was for a richt denner A wad need ti trodge on ti
+Jethart: that was a richt toon an big eneuch ti fother an fend for fremd
+folk an gangerels. An A'd thocht A wad be aa the road i Ancrum! It serrd
+naething for ti stert simmereen an wuntereen, for it's ill speakin
+atween a fowe man an a fastin; bit A bocht an ett twae cookies an a
+whank o cheese ti keep iz gaun till A wan ti Jethart. Than A wasteet nae
+mair wund in Aarum, bit made tracks for the auld fechtin toon on Jed.
+The heat wasna cannie as A cam ti the main road ayownt the Yill, again.
+Aathings whufft an dovert bar the midges an mei, an thegither oo turnt
+ti the richt for the Teiot an the coonty toon. At the fit o the brae a
+flitteen was gaun on; twae-threi chiels war biggin f urniter an
+plaeneesheen on ti laarries, an still another road-injin, wui the
+inspeirin name: "Jethart's Here!", stuid nerrbye,-nidgin ti dae the
+poween. Ancrum Brig, weel-kennd ti fisher-folk, is baith braid an
+strang, an a gledge owre luit iz sei the bonnie Teviot, dooce an
+purpose-leike (for aa it's new hoven wui Yill!) gleidin neth the pends.
+Oot threh aboot the Brig-end hoose lampeet a muckle big, bang fallih,
+braid-shoodert, rash an stuffy, that staapeet alang the Jethart road wui
+a taatih- steppin streide. Game for ochts, A snuived steevely on aboot
+therty yards ahint um. Whow! sic a bleezer as it was, wui no a whuff o
+wund, an wui nae bield! The sweet was duist hailin off iz till A was
+nerrhand swutten deed; ma serk was drackeet wui weet till it stack ti ma
+verra back; an, dicht as A micht, dreeps rowld doon owre brow, haffets
+an chowks, forbye. Ma collar lay roond ma craigie as wanrestfih as
+branks an brecham roond a yaud. Birsselt an scowdert, leike a
+bubbly-jock duine weel in ov an oven, A cood heh f und eet i ma hert ti
+heh stoppeet an gane in for a dook, isteed, i the cuill, silver Teiot,
+where it laippeet bye leafy- Monteviot. Bit the buirdly Borderer snodged
+on a guid yin, an on A poalled ahint um at the same jock-trot !
+Up-bye, as A paat on a bit aixtra brash, a grocer body gaun eis
+yirrints, gien iz the weel-wurn hail: "It's a grand-day!" " Dead ay!"
+says A, "bit, man, it's byordnar het for huz yins that's walkin!" A'll
+aye meind the lauch ei leuch! Hei leuch till ei was away in a kink, an
+fair soople; so that eis beiceecle steitert aneth um, an A thocht the
+sowl wad take a dwam, an kilt owre,-banyels, creel, an aa thegither.
+Dod, the snirtin body! Hei wad think A was fond,-braisslin on ao
+stressin masel that gait in ony sicwaather. (Yibbles ei thocht it was
+for a weejer). Hei cam tui, an rallied, tho, an away ei birrlt, still
+buffin an smudgin inti eis sel.
+A pairteet threh the leesh, swank-leike fallih ('at A'd been followin
+eis lead) at the whusht road-end at Jedfit, for there ei tuik tae airt
+for Kelsih. Threh the fitba-field ti the little wee station at the back
+o beyond, no a leevin sowl-no a body keind-did A sei aa-the- gate doon
+Jedseide, bar yeh haaflang chaap as black as Eppie Suittie (wui a face
+aa coal-coom, an a perr o reed-ribbon een glintin leike slaes). Hei was
+on ov a laarrie comin birrlin alang leike the bars o Ayr, -as hard as it
+cood lick for Haaick. Yoint the road, an bye the station, A crosst Jed
+Waeter, an suin ma shuin war clankin yince mair alang owre causa an
+chennel.
+It wad want a twae-threi meenints a twae i the efternuin whan A turnt
+inti the High Street o Jethart, where there was an unordnar stur for the
+teime o day. At the Mercat Place A maircht eend ti the "Gazette" Office,

+gien iz yin intil't), an speerd anent the Haaick motor.
+Now that's nate where A got a drop that reether taen iz ti the fair! I
+the new, A was telld, the Hawick motor hed been stoppeet rinnin.
+("Aha!", thinks A, "it'll no hev cood gar ends meet this bittie back,
+nih, A'se warran!")
+This was a fessener, an A was keinda stucken, for A'd lippent on that
+wanchancy motor as the maist mensefih way o wunnin threh Jethart ti
+Haaick. However, it was nae uice o turnin roozd, an, bairn- leike,
+kickin up a wa at no canneen geet a hurl; bit, for aa that, A'd taen the
+maggot inti ma heed, an A ettlt at finndin some machine ti serr ma ends.
+
+Weel, A ranged the haaf o the toon, or A turnt staaed. An fient a trap,
+boaggie, geeg, laarraie, caager's caairt or hurlie cood A airt oot or
+hear tell-o gaun up Teiot. Sic a hatter! A was in a habble. Bit lod
+sakes mei! It wasna leike as A was muitteet oot or onyways trasht ; an,
+forbye, it was lang or nicht!
+There was a snod bit leikely-leike eateen-hoose, nerr bye; so in A gaed
+ti fill ma empy keite, for my certies! A was howe! A was owre lang for
+taatihs, bit A made a faiasable mael oot o pie-soop(a pickle grand
+thing, 'at war they!), caald flesh, picklt ingans, an nae skrimp o laif;
+wui twae rake o curny-dumpleen owre-an-abuin,-seindin the whole o'd doon
+wui a waucht owaeter. Nane o eer mim-mowed peikeen got that Jethart
+toozy table threh mei; for A puisteet an lained masel weel. It was as
+muckle as A cood dae no ti slorp! An whan A'd ti haud-sae, A wasna
+boass, if the truith be telld, A was riftin-fowe!-an, forbye, there was
+a gey little hote o muilleens left for Lazarus! Yow yins that's keinda
+perjink menna be uggeet at iz for aa this-set ee up wui eer feiky
+mollups an eer friggeen an falderals! Some folk heh sic a tredd wui
+thersels,-primpin!
+A faand the guid o that denner as suin as A'd gaen wui'd; an, wui ma
+wame fowe, ma thochts redd thersels the better oot. A paid ma laween (it
+was naething owre-the-maitter - A wasna saateet), an than A lifteet the
+sneck an gaed oot again ti the Mercat Cross.
+It was ti be Shankum's Naigie, thin,-ti Denum, onyway. Yince an A'd wun
+there, A thocht, A micht mebbies cood geet a hurl the lenth o Hawick. An
+A'd geet mair guid yeh way as the tother, atweel; for snodgin on, A wad

+So ti the tuine o:
+"Oo're aa gaun ti Denum!"
+oot A suitt towrt the Auld Jail, thonder, an yokeet till't up the Casle-

+for a sledge- sky or a yoke-a- tuillie! By!! The gaird wad need ti bei
+richt an skeely at the merreen, tho, A'm thinkin, for it wad be a gey
+sair pliskie ti rin dunt up again' the braw moniment at the fit. It wad
+take a vast o sow-same, a richt claat o creesh, ti cleester a cloor
+gotten that gait! Ee meind what Jamie Tamson wrait aboot the
+guitter-bluid callants o Haaick an "the battert gavel o the Auld Mid
+Raw?"
+What a different shapes, firrst an last, as Jethart Casle saw,where
+Jethart Jail stands nowadays. The seams an ploys o grit-folk an
+Royalties; ther splun- teens an ther mairryeens; ther shooteens an ther
+buirryeens. Did the deed-raap soond throwe its gampy ends, A wunder, i
+the nicht efter guid King Alisaunder's waddeen-foy, - whan the grewsome
+gaisener ov a geizart, i the girnin Daita's Heed, coonjert wui its

+Jethart Casle! A body wad need ti ken'd aff leike as Wattie Laidlaw
+kennd eet, for ti tell owre, off-luif, aa its dambrod-cheekeet story.
+Puir auld Wattie Laidlaw! It was waesome ti think that hei was awanteen
+threh eis weet-1eikeet Aibbey doon i the howe. A think A sei um yet: a
+patriarch-leike body,-heed bared, an airm hoised as ei hailed the
+Muises; eis baird, wheite as the drieen snaw, flaffin the wund, as
+(yince an ei',d been suitten on) hei laid on an ranted off yirrds o
+Border rheime an lore,-that nae man was better aqcuaint wui. Never
+huivvin ti ruize Jethart high; never devaaldin ti crack prood an massy
+aboot its bonnie bits an its history: a geyan yibble poyeter an a leal
+Border Scot ti buit, Walter Laidlaw maun be a sair miss ti the
+Waeter-gate o Jed. Let this beide as a merk o the respeck o the wreiter
+o this leibult ti yin that may the muils lie licht on; the auld ye-teime
+keeper o Jethart Aibbey!
+Thereckly, as a hechult up that teedisome brae, the muckle
+Cairter-booksome an blewe-leike wui the ferness o'd-raise fer owre on ma
+left. "Teedisome brae," quo A, eenow, bit for aa A stecht keinda, it was
+rale neice, that sklimm, wui the efternuin sun daabin sheddihs oot owre
+the knowes an fells. Guid- bethankeet, tui, nocht ailed ma cluits; A'd
+hed naething woare as a lowce wheing aa the day,-a faut easy eneneh

+brizz, bate, nor blusht-bit ti play the limm an gar iz humple or turn
+lameter. Nor was A tewd or mauchless, bit limbber an lither.
+Forbye, A was i the hert's hyimm, els! Strecht afore iz, an keekin bye
+the shooder o' the Dunion, hoized the loor-brows o derk Ruberslaw. Be
+this, it wasna fer ti heed o the brae-the hinmaist bit bairge ov a powe
+bringin iz alang bye a boaggly, gloomin planteen, where the whussellin
+wunt gaed soachin throwe. An oh! (whan yince A'd gotten ti the top o the
+rig, an-forfeuchen a weilock-hed hoakkert doon on ti ma hunkers till A
+gethart back ma braith)-glorious sicht!!
+A was on yin o thae hichts-Lilliard's Edge hed been sic-an-so that verra
+day-that the Borderland hes sic rowth o; yin o thae watch-knowe hichts,
+clean abuin haugh an howe, that in days o auld gien wairneen ti a hyill
+waeter-gate, bit that i thir days juist gae keeks inti a yarthly
+pairideise. Jethart lay hidden on the yeh seide at the boddom o the lang
+swaip that hed garrd mei pech; on the tother the road gaed brent doon
+inti thick planteens abuin Bedrule an Denum.
+A cood wale oot Rule Waeter's coorse feine,- merkeet wui raws on raws o
+treis-where it jookeet doon threh the knowes away ayownt Buinster an
+Hobkirk. An another ribbon,-verder-cled, rinnin eassla-wassla-telld the
+coorse o bonnie Teviot, wumplin bye paster an pairk an bussy dean.
+Fornent iz, athort the fer seide o Teiot's flooery vale, Mintih Craigs
+(haappeet an rowed in their leafy maud) brent raise ther skerrs; an the
+gray waas o Fatlips keekeet oot threh atween the treis that skuggeet
+Barnhill's staney bed an hade Mintih Hoose threh sicht. Away yownt baith
+Teiot an Yill, bit stannin oot clear as clear, the Eeldon threisome
+pointeet the airt A'd comed: by seike an deike an waeter; bve burn an
+brig an haa. Wastwards, it wasna ill ti ken threh whaiten bits Teiot hed
+run: a pickle blewe reek threh the hoose-lums o Denum draiggelt in a
+swutherin clud; an, ferrer up the waeter yet plain ti ma aiger lookeen,
+hang another caal, leike a bruch roond a muin. Duist there lay auld
+Hawick Amang the Hills; an oh! the sicht garrd the guitter-bluid gang
+lowpin an puttin an stoondin throwe aa ma book.
+Door an dochty, framin the view, war rankeet Naeter's Wardens o the
+Mairches-The Cairter, Cat- cleuch Shin, Peel Fell, Penchrise Pen,
+Skelfhill Pen, an the lave.
+A wheen folk oot picnickin at a deike-fit on Dunionseide hed kinnelt a
+lunt an war thrang poatchin aboot an maskin tei. A pewl o reek fuffelt
+abuin the gleed, an swurlt an yilleet away in a pirlin braith o wund,
+roond owre the shooder o the knowe, till it saanteet i the caller air.
+Hicher up, nerr the croon o the hill, men war layin on an chaappin,
+lootin doon an howkin threh a skerr, the teime a stane-nappin injin
+gaed-on leike a tuim mill,-skrunshin- chaampin-
+haanshin-nickerin-dirrlin-snokerin-an reesellin, -withoot lissance. Ti

+michty noal, wui plewed rigs an planteens-reed-land an greenery- dinkin
+its merly-merkeet braes, an Peden's Poopit buinmaist. Dunion, wui its
+muckle mell heed, is buirdly billie ti Ruberslaw, an there the perr
+stand, shooder ti shooder, leike as they war glunshin an shuirrin doon
+at aabodie that wad middle-thum. A hantle heh the twaesome seen sin the
+beacons war kuittelt on ther heathery pows, an mosstrooper an reever
+rade bye ti foray an fecht an reipin raid. Now, the "ern-horse" rins
+roond ahint the Mintih Hills; the motor birls up the stoor on the
+Jethart road; an the aeroplane gangs whurrin bye i the cluds abuin-
+heed.
+A hained that view an taen the guid o'd as lang's A durst an cood. It
+wad heh been naething till iz ta heh bidden aa nicht ti sei'd owre

+for aa aa ma offpitteen an daidelleen, an stert on the doon-gangeen ti
+the Waeter o Ruile.
+Bit, Guidbethankeet, there's nocht ti hinder a body threh seekin away
+wui um thochts o sic bonnie bits ti pit bye an huirrd in eis posie o
+pleezant maimeries. An so it is that A heh thae thochts ti faa back on

+the dirls, the raameen an the raackeen an the cammelleen, the daads an
+the dunts an the skraucheon an the skreeveen. An so it is atweenhands,

+tewd an rizzert, an leify folk dawallt an waaf, whan wud turns geizant

+A met a doiterin, duddy, auld hallanshaker as A laampeet doon that lang

+that wad be richt an ruggy ti redd, an a baird sair needin a

+didna set the bonnie cuintrie-seide.
+It hed been a stey climm up ti Dunion-heed, an it was an unco lang
+doonfaa ti Rule-Waeter-seide, an aa. Bien an braw wui skuggin shaws an
+bonnie busses, the road gaed wundin doon, till suin, aa that was left o
+ma vie was the toppeen o Ruberslaw an the brows o the Mintih Hills. Whan
+A'd joined the Haaick-ti- Jethart turnpeike, yeh loonge owre the brig an
+a gledge doon inti the Rule as it ran rowlin ti link in wui Teiot, an -
+A was luntin alang the skleff, towrt Denum.
+Duist at the gangeen-in ti the village, alang the laeuch road thonder, a
+muckle great, big hivvy, motor- laarrie-a perfeet killogie for reek-cam
+snorkin an dunnerin bye, gaun Haaick airt. Sittin curmudd ahint, an
+geetin a hurl for nochts, twae-threi bleithe- leike fallihs i glarry
+moleskins smokeet their claey peipes, tho their chafts war ditherin an
+beverrin leike as they war pairlt, wui the awfih deedelleen an joaggleen

+hedna muckle brow o'd, an A hickeet an tuik the rewe, for the rummelleen

+an seine A gaed stairgin up the "Canniegate!"
+A cleckeen o guidweives at a gairdeen-yett whuttert ti other whan they
+eyed iz; an aamaist the whole road-end cam oot-ther-oot ti waal an glowr
+at the unordnar munsie; the stoory stravaiger. Shuir eneuch, A wad look

+an huggery-muggery; an shuin wheite o stoor, for aa ma dichteen an
+daaddeen. Sic a brattie! Sic a sain! Bit A never goamed the folk, an A
+never luit bat; aa that A heedeet was: Here A was at Denum,-the same
+auld Denum as it was aye! A didna ken a grain o odds o'd for aa A hedna
+seen't threh kens-whan. There was the Leyden Moniment: there the Frei
+Kirk clock; an aa the weel- kennd howffs an hooses; a waaller o barefit
+getts; a wumman wui a bairn cairryin i the shawl; an auld herd wul a

+
+At yeh shop-door a motor stuid, an forrit A gaed ti finnd oot whae was
+ocht eet. A bit beekin callant, eis chuffy chowks aa fairnytickles, an
+eis airm up ti shade eis een, gleimed gleide against the sun's licht as
+A cam up. A axt um if this was the Haaick motor, an whuther it was gaun
+back ti Haaick that nicht or no.
+"Ay!", says hei.
+Off-luif, ei made twae wrang shots anent the teime if wad set oot (ei
+said firrst that it was gaun ti Haaick at "haaf-past 'hrei!," an neext
+ei said "haaf- past fowr!", whan A kennd feine naether the tain nor the

+Hei glaammed at eet leike a cock at a grozert, an waird eet afore ma

+thereckly, bebbin an taain oot ov a bottle, an whoam- mlin't ti geet the

+As for mei, A gaed an got masel cleaned an spruisht wui a grand swaibble
+o waeter, a shed i ma hair, a lick o bleckneen on ma buits, an a skuff
+doon wui a claes-brush,-an a hantle the better A fand masel, for a clean

+leggums, beguid o kirneen an caain eis injin, A planteet masel i the
+machine, takin tent no ti crack ma cantel as A claam in.
+Jimp hed a gotten sutten doon, afore wei war off-wui a yerk an a dunsh

+An so, efter a smert hurl, oo clattert inti Hawick High Street duist on

+Howes an Knowes, an alang the Waeter-gates,-cam ti an end i the hert o a
