She would and she wouldn't; she was for marrying Rob the one minute, and the next she would be for none of him.

I will never have seen such a feckless creature of a woman; surely all there was of her would tell her ay or no.

Well, she was a widow, and I can never be thinking a widow a good woman." "Catriona!" says I, "how do you make out that ?" "I do not know," said she; "I am only telling you the seeming in my heart.

And then to marry a new man! Fy! But that was her; and she was married again upon my Uncle Robin, and went with him awhile to kirk and market; and then wearied, or else her friends got claught of her and talked her round, or maybe she turned ashamed; at the least of it, she ran away, and went back to her own folk, and said we had held her in the lake, and I will never tell you all what.

I have never thought much of any females since that day.
