[edit] Quote
- "My gude name! If ony body touched my gude name I would fash neither council nor commissary. I would be down upon them like a sea-falcon amang a wheen wild geese, and the best of them that dared to say onything o' Meg Dods, but what was honest and civil, I would soon see if her cockernonie was made o' her ain hair or other folks."
