Seite 139 - Entreat me not to leave thee, nor to depart from thee ; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou dwellest I will dwell ; thy people shall be my people, and thy God shall be my God.

Seite 72 - ... that I am wishing ill to little Harry, or to the babe that's yet to be born — God forbid — and make them kind to the poor, and better folk than their father ! And now, ride e'en your ways ; for these are the last words yell ever hear Meg Merrilies speak, and this is the last reise that I'll ever cut in the bonny woods of Ellangowan.
Seite 72 - Ride your ways," said the gipsy, "ride your ways, Laird of Ellangowan — ride your ways, Godfrey Bertram ! This day have ye quenched seven smoking hearths : see if the fire in your ain parlour burn the blither for that. Ye have riven the thack off seven cottar houses : look if your ain roof-tree stand the faster. Ye may stable your stirks in the shealings at Derncleugh — see that the hare does not couch on the hearthstane at Ellangowan.
