Ellen shoved out her tongue at him. "Ye never said onything aboot bendin', and ye dinna need to bend onywye." "What aboot when ye're gaitherin' tatties?" crowed Jim. Ellen tossed her head. "Aw wasna thinkin' o' the sort o' man that gaithers tatties; Aw was thinkin' o' gentlemen's breeks ... the kind o' breeks ye'll never hae, Jim Jackson."
