"Aye, John," said one, "your ain cloak is unco' like mine ; it's auld enough." " Yes, but, verra unlike yours, it's paid for,..." said John. " And Avho may King Stephen have been I " asked another.

" Wiser like," retorted John, " that you, Tam, were at hame mendin' your bellows ; for yesterday, when I passed your forge, the bellows were whistling waur than the auld mare your man was shoeing."
