COULD NOT SAY.
The Scottish land labourer makes a statement only after considerable spiritual struggle. In Banff Sheriff Court the Fiscal (the official prosecutor) was making inquiries about some slight manifestations of exuberance in a rural village. Said he: "Would you consider that what was going on was merely fun?" Witness: I couldna' say. Would you go so far as to say it was horseplay ? I dinna ken.. You don't know. But you were there weren't you? '
Ayo, I was there—but I've never seen horses play.
