sincere compliment, being not at all intended as
such, but, as the reader will perceive meant more
as reproach than praise. Shortly after the disco-
sure of the authorship Of the Waverley Novels, the

bic that ye hae been writing in novels a. thae less.
Oh dear me, dear me! Gamma beleve't yet; but
for a. that, ken haze seen Dandy Dinmot some
where; and Rebecca, oh she's bonny weel- behaved
