I should miss the nice points of his character were I to deprive him of his own peculiar way of communicating his feats, though it is but too true, that when he got upon a favourite subject, he was most inhumanly elastic. TOM PURDIE'S MUCKLE FISH " While I was with Mr. Anderson, and shepherd at West Bold, one Sunday, " says Tom, " I did na go up to Traquair to... the kirk, but took a walk by the river side ; there were a vast o' fish in the water, and I saw ane or twae great roeners turning, a sure sign there were mickle kippers too. I had dandered down to near the burn fit, and had a pair of good stilts aye lying there. My first wife was then a lass, and lived at Caberston ; and the stilts were ready to TOM PURDIE'S MUCKLE FISH 207 cross the water at an orra time.
