Show Good Advice In Any Language. Tennyson once attended a dinner where G. L. Craik proposed "The Ladles." In doing so ho recalled tho cynical advlco given by a brother Scot to his children: "Tak my advice ad-vice and dinna marry for siller. You can borrow cheaper." Somo time later Tennyson, at his own table, repeated Mr. Cralk's story, but expressed tho idea without attempting dialect. His son Hnllan remarked: "Surely, father, fath-er, Craik did not use those words." "No, ho did not. But tho Craik is a Scotchman and I am afraid to venture on repeating him exactly. However, It's almost as good In English as In Scotch and It's tremendously truo in both." |
