The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Bride of Lammermoor by Walter Scott: "that wasna the way ye guided your gudeman; bt ilka land has its
ain lauch. I maun be ganging. I just wanted to round in the
gudeman's lug, that I heard them say up-bye yonder that Peter
Puncheon, that was cooper to the Queen's stores at the Timmer
Burse at Leith, is dead; sae I though that maybe a word frae my
lord to the Lord Keeper might hae served Gilbert; but since he's
frae hame----"
"O, but ye maun stay his hame-coming," said the dame. "I aye
telled the gudeman ye meant weel to him; but he taks the tout at
every bit lippening word."
"Aweel, I'll stay the last minute I can."
