12. 'I whirry through the dark'. (24)

#Whirry# is another word that explains itself, and perhaps the more

readily for its confusion (in this sense) with _worry_, see _E.D.D._

where it is given as adjective and verb, the latter used by Scott in

'Midlothian'. 'Her and the gude-man will be whirrying through the

blue lift on a broom-shank.' In the _Century Dictionary_, with its

pronunciation hwér'i, it is described as dialectal form of _whirr_ or

of _hurry_, to fly rapidly with noise, also transitive to hurry.
