Cuirfe tu leis tri piginn an bairille, air an coirce geal.

Se sin tri sgilline is ponta.

Ca meud airgitt tig se uile cuige?

It is all such as you see in the mouth of that sack.

What is the price? Twenty-two shillings. That is above the market rate.

I will give 20 shillings a barrel, for what you have of that kind. You will give twenty-one for it, and twentythree for the seed oats. I offered enough for that.

I shall get as much for

it, as I asked from you. Ishall get it cheaper than that.

If you get it for less, it will not be so good. There is not better meal

corn, in this country. How much have you of it?

There are eighteen bar

rels, in those nine sacks; and six barrels, in the other three sacks. Do not refuse my offer, and I will buy it all from you.

You shall add three pence per barrel, for the

white oats. That is twenty-three shillings. How much money does it all come to?

Is furas sin a contas. Ceitre ponta is fitce, agus oct sgilline dèag, gọ beact.

Cuir sac de sna meadagaib, agus tosaigim air a meadaċain. Mas aill leat cruitneact no orna ceannaċ, ta siad araon agam go fìor mait. Go de an seort cruitneaċta ta agad? Ta sean agas ùr agam, Bfeidir go mbeid sin uaim

Ni tig liom a glacad.

That is easily reckoned.

Exactly

twenty four pounds eighteen shil

lings. Put a sack of it in the scales, and let us begin to weigh it. If you wish to buy wheat or barley, I have both very good.

What kind of wheat have you?

I have both old and new. Perhaps I may want some next week.

At present I intend to buy a few sacks of rye.

I believe there is none in market. What do you ask for this meal? Seventeen shillings, and nine pence, per hundred weight.

I think it is damp; the corn has not been well dried.

I assure you it is very dry.

It is ground too fine. You may get coarser,

but you will not find better meal. I will give you sixteen shillings per hundred weight.

I cannot take it.

Will you go to the fair?

With all my heart.
Make haste then, or we
shall be late.
We shall be time enough.
Now I am ready.
Let us set out.
Do you intend to buy,
or to sell?

I have some cows to sell, and I wish to buy some sheep.

And I propose to buy a saddle horse. There are very good

horses in this country. Yes-but they are very dear.

What a number of people

are going to the fair! You do not see the half of them. There will be a great shew of cattle. Where are your cows?

Yonder, at the lower end

of the street. I see them; they appear to be in good order. There are none fatter in the country. How much do you expect for them? At least twelve guineas per head.
