He lived in John's Place, and his counting room and warehouses were at the end of John's Lane. The minister, who was a stout big man, one very warm day, during the meeting of the U.P. Synod in Edinburgh, was walking up John's Lane to call on his brother. He was espied by his nephew, the late Mr George Dunlop of Haddington, who kindly saluted him and insisted on his sitting down in the warehouse to take a rest, crying at the same time to Richard Wright, the old warehouseman, to bring some of the... best spirits he had in the store, as he was sure his worthy uncle was very warm and fatigued. " George," the minister said, " I thank you very kindly, I will just take ten drops or so in water, for I am really tired, warm, and worn out walking down from the Synod. And how are ye, George ? I hope to see you well ; and Richard Wright, my old friend, how are you, and all your family.? I hope the blessing of the Lord attends you both." After the mutual "speirings" had been gone through, and in the middle of a crack, George Dunlop, who was a bit of a wag, said, *' Uncle, I am very sorry to tell you that Richard Wright has become an awful and profane swearer, and I would like you, uncle, to give him a word of rebuke and admonition."
