Ye mind she had a shooster shopie at the fit o ' Collie Park , an ' she had a big lookin ' gless for her customers seeing hoo their frocks fitted .

The door was aff the snib ; an ' , keep me , when I lookit in , here 's Sandy wi ' an Oddfella 's kilt an ' a bushbie on , an ' his ilky-day 's claes lyin ' in a pozel on the table .
