Part 85 (1/2)
Shaude turn
Shaude taste to sweetmeats
She brak her elbow at the kirk door
”Spoken of a thrifty maiden when she becomes a lazy wife”--_Kelly_
She frisks about like a cat's tail i' the sun
She has an ill paut wi' her hind foot
She has gi'en the woab like an auies the touzie drab The tither skelpin' kiss, While she held up her greedy gab Just like an aumos dish”--_Burns_
She hauds up her head like a hen drinking water
The two last sayings are applied to persons who behave in an impudent or forwardup and down yours
”Spoken to dissuade our friend fro a woman e suspect to be too bold”--_Kelly_
She'll wear like a horseshoe, aye the langer the clearer
She lookit at thewoe, of the ”fine et, but who afterwards are allied to common every-day people
She looks as if butter wadna melt in her mou
She looks like a leddy in a landward kirk
This means that a person may appear very conspicuous on account of a peculiar dress or manner
She pined awa like Jenkin's hen
”To die like _Jenkin's hen_ is to die an old maid”--_Jamieson_
She's a bad sitter that's aye in a flutter
She's a drap o' my dearest blude
She's a ife that wats her ain weird
That is, who knows her own destiny
