Part 11 (1/2)

As gude ude ne'er a bit, as ne'er the better

”Unless you ood let it alone”--_Kelly_

A's gude that God sends

A shave aff a new cut loaf's never

”Men do not die of threats”--_Dutch_

A short grace is gude for hungry folk

A short horse is sune wispit

A sight o' you is gude for sair een

”'Wha's this o't?' again exclai body's daughter, in a gipsy's barn, and the nicht setting in! this is a sight for sair een!--Eh, sirs, the falling off o' the Godly!--and the t'other sister's in the Tolbooth of Edinburgh'”--_Heart of Midlothian_

A sillerless h the market

A silly man will be slily dealt wi'

”He that lish_

A sinkingman

A skelpit buude

Ask your purse what you should buy

Ask nae questions, and I'll tell nae lees

”'What needs ye be aye speering then at folk?' retorted Effie 'I'm sure, if ye'll ask nae questions, I'll tell ye nae lees I never ask what brings the Laird of Dureener, and no sae gleg), day after day, till we are all like to gaunt our chafts aff'”--_Heart of Midlothian_

As lang as a dog would be bound wi' a bluidy puddin'

As lang as the bird sings before Candle as ye serve the tod yeas ye stand ye dinna stay

”It is enough to make it appear that you did not stay, if you can say you never sate down; an argument to make our friend, who is in haste, to stand and chat awhile”--_Kelly_

As lang lasts the hole as the heel leather
