First sentence: SOME of the rich houses and great folk pretend to have histories of the auncientness of their families, which they can count back on their fingers almost to the days of Noah's ark, and King Fergus the First; but whatever may spunk out after on this point, I am free to confess, with a safe conscience, in the meantime, that it is not in my power to come up within sight of them; having never seen or heard tell of anybody in our connection, further back than auld gran-faither, that I mind of when a laddie; and who it behoves to have belonged by birthright to some parish or other; but where-away, gude kens.
