They took me to what they will be callin' a music-kale [delighted roars of laughter from the audience].

A music-kale indeed! I haf hear-r-rd of cauld kale an' het kale, of kale porridge an' kale brose, but nefer haf I hear-r-rd before of a music-kale.

Bless me, man, I cud make neither head nor tail o' it, and they wer-r-re no better themsel's.

They had printed notes about it an' a bit man makin' a speech about it, but not one of them knew a thing about the hale hypotheck.

Musick, quare musick I call it! If it is musick yer wantin', gif me Angus there wi' the pipes [wild cheers testifying to Angus's popularity] or the master-r-r himsel' an' the young lady here [this with a courteous bow to Miss Switzer] wi' their feeddles.
