I do not say that, as it may be.

Answer me the question plainly, or else you shall not so easily get back

to this good old work of yours in Scotland as you think?

I say as it may be, the marriages in Scotland an’t always done in the

churches.

I know that as well as you do, for the clergyman sometimes attends in

private houses, or it is done before a justice depute; but is this the

regular mode?
