About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 Excerpt: ...no the fashion for bare legs to come thegether. The wife maun hae something to put in the pot as weel as the man."--The Entail. It's lang or Like-to-dee fills the kirkyaird. Spoken of those who are always complaining how ill they are, and likely to die; but who, nevertheless, generally contrive to live as long as other people. It's lang or the deil dees at the dike side. That is, it will be long ere we hear of the removal or death of a particular person who is a cause of annoyance to us. It's lang or ye need cry "Schew!" to an egg. It's lang to Lammas.

It's little o' God's might that makes a poor man a knight. It's muckle gars tailors laugh, but souters girn aye. It's nae laughing to girn in a widdy. To "girn in a widdy" is to laugh or girn when a halter is round the neck--meaning that it is no joke to be placed in a difficult or dangerous position. It's nae play when ane laughs and anither greets. It's nae shift to want. It's nae sin to tak a gude price, but in gieing ill measure. It's nae mair ferlie to see a woman greet than to see a goose gang barefit. "Mattie had ill will to see me set awa on this ride, and grat awee, the silly tawpie; but it's nae mair ferlie to see a woman greet than to see a goose gang barefit."--Rob Roy. It's nae wonder wasters want and lathrons lag behint. It's needless pouring water on a drowned mouse. It's neither a far road nor a foul gate. It's neither here nor there, nor yet ayont the water. It's neither rhyme nor reason. It's no aye gude i' the maw what's sweet i' the mouth. It's no easy ...
