~ ~ ~ Sentence 526 ~ ~ ~
I had rather you had taken my copper Otho himself.-But come, let me show you the way into my sanctum sanctorum -my cell I may call it, for, except two idle hussies of womankind," (by this contemptuous phrase, borrowed from his brother-antiquary, the cynic Anthony a-Wood, Mr. Oldbuck was used to denote the fair sex in general, and his sister and niece in particular), "that, on some idle pretext of relationship, have established themselves in my premises, I live here as much a Coenobite as my predecessor, John o' the Girnell, whose grave I will show you by and by."

~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,840 ~ ~ ~
Od, he showed muckle mair spunk, too, than I thought had been in him-I thought he wad hae sent cauld iron through the vagabond-Sir Arthur wasna half sae bauld at Bessie's-apron yon night-but then, his blood was up even now, and that makes an unco difference.
