Is't cruel to dowgs, to feed fifty or sixty o' them on crackers and ither sorts o' food, in a kennel like a Christian house, wi' a clear burn flowin' through 't, and to gie them, twice a-week or aftener, during the season, a brattlin rin o' thretty miles after a fox?
1859,Frederic S. Cozzens,Acadia:
He would have four times as much as he had charged in the first instance, or "he'd tak us over, and land us on the ither side of the bay."
