Jamie Spence, a well-known ‘ character,’ was one day driving cattle through Edinburgh, accompanied by a collie. The dog, unknown to him, bolted into a butcher’s shop and ran off with a leg of mutton, whereupon the butcher issued forth and collared Jamie, demanding if that was his dog. ‘ ’Od,’ replied Jamie, slyly eyeing the erring quadruped, ‘ he was ance mine, but he seems to be daein’ for hissel’ noo.’
