THE RULING PASSION
Little Girl. “Wull ye gie’s ha’pennies for this thripenny, for ma granny’s feared it’s no a gude ane?”
THE DECAY OF THE KILT
Mr. Briggs loquitur:
I am going down to Scotland, to the country of the kilt,
For a little salmon-stalking in a place they call Glen Tilt;
And as I always like to be a Roman when at Rome,
I’ve purchased the correct costume and it has just come home.
