But I always missed the glen, and I was always dreaming of going back to Scotland, when the time came.
It was then I first began to play the gowf.

Ye mind what I told ye o' my first game, wi' Mackenzie Murdoch?
I never got tae be much more o' a hand than I was then, nae matter hoo much I played the game.

I'm a gude Scot, but I'm thinkin' I didna tak' up gowf early enough in life.
But I liked to play the game while I was living in London.

For ane thing it reminded me of hame; for another, it gie'd me a chance to get mair exercise than I would ha done otherwise.
In London ye canna walk aboot much.

You ha' to gae tae far at a time.
Thanks to the custom of the halls, I was soon obliged to ha' a motor brougham o' my ain.
