The Ayrshire Legatees Or The Pringle Family PDF Download

Excerpt from The Ayrshire Legatees, or the Pringle Family Mrs. Pringle interrupted this harangue, by saying, "we see what you would be at, Andrew; ye're just, wan ting to come with us, and on this occasion I'm no for making step-bairns, so we'll a'gang thegither." The Doctor had been for many years the incumbent of Garnock, which is pleasantly situated between Irvine and Kilwinning, and, on account of the benevolence of his disposition, was much beloved by his parishioners. Some of the pawkie among them used indeed to say, in answer to the godly of Kilmarnock, and other admirers of the late great John Russel, of that formerly orthodox town, by whom Dr. Pringle's powers as a preacher were held in no particular estimation: - "He kens our pu'pit's frail, and spar'st to save outlay to the heritors." As for Mrs. Pringle, there is not such another minister's wife, both for economy and management, within the jurisdiction of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, and to this fact, the following letter to Miss Mally Glencairn, a maiden lady residing in the Kirkgate of Irvine, a street that has been likened unto the Kingdom of Heaven, where there is neither marriage nor giving in marriage will abundantly testify.
