Example: The poor lass was sitting bemoaning herself - "Were it nae for thy girning face, I would knock the big, winnow the corn, and grun the meal," - "Lowse the cradle-band," said the child, "and tent the neighbours, and I'll work yere work." Up he started - the wind arose - the corn was chopped - the outlyers were foddered - the hand-mill moved around, as by instinct - and the knocking-mill did its work with amazing rapidity.
