The Entail; or, The Lairds of Grippy
'Man, Laird, I'm blithe to hear that,--but ye ken that ye told me last year when you were clearing the wadset that was left on the Grippy, that ye had na meikle mair left--But I'm blithe to hear ye're in a condition to act the part of a true father to a' your bairns, though I maun say that I canna approve, as a man and a frien', of this crotchet of entailing your estate on a haverel, to the prejudice of a braw and gallant lad like Charlie.
