The Entail; or, The Lairds of Grippy
Charlie's and Bell Fatherlans's was a cauldrife commodity, boding scant and want, and so cam o't--Watty's was a walloping galravitch o' idiocety, and so cam o't--Geordie's was little better than a burial formality trying to gie a smirk, and so cam o't--as for Meg's and Dirdumwhamle's, theirs was a third marriage--a cauld-kail-het-again affair--and Beenie and Walky's Gretna Green, play-actoring,--Bed, Board, and Washing, bore witness and testimony to whatna kind o' bridal they had.
