"But they are truthful names, and it iss good for me to know myself."

"You hef just one truthful name, and that iss portlyher.... And now youwill be singing a psalm."

"There iss a book of himes (hymns) here, and maybe you will beliking one of them."

And Lachlan produced the little book Flora got in that London churchwhen the preacher told her she was missed.

"We will not sing hymns, father, for I am remembering that you hef aconscience against hymns, and I did not know that you had thatbook."

"My conscience wass sometimes better than the Bible, Flora, and ifGod will be sending a hime to bind up your heart when it wassbroken, it iss your father that will be wanting to sing that hime.

"It iss here," continued Lachlan in triumph, "for I hef often beenreading that hime, and I am not seeing much wrong in it."
