For two seconds the square shakes to an invasion of dogs, and then, again, there is only one dog in sight.
No one will admit the Scotch mist.

It "looks saft." The tinsmith "wudna wonder but what it was makkin for rain." Tammas Haggart and Pete Lunan dander into sight bareheaded, and have to stretch out their hands to discover what the weather is like.

By and by they come to a standstill to discuss the immortality of the soul, and then they are looking silently at the Bull.

Neither speaks, but they begin to move toward the inn at the same time, and its door closes on them before they know what they are doing.

A few minutes afterwards Jinny Dundas, who is Pete's wife, runs straight for the Bull in her short gown, which is tucked up very high, and emerges with her husband soon afterwards.
Jinny is voluble, but Pete says nothing.
