Excerpt from A Romance of the Moors
The admonition to his two red-haired young brothers was given good-naturedly, and without the strong Yorkshire accent of his father, or his mother's unmistakable Scottish intonation. According to a frequent custom among this class in her more lettered country, the young man had been sent to the University of St. Andrew's, whence he returned - according to his father - with a store of useless learning and ridiculous manners only fit for idle folk who could afford to sit at home and attend to their airs and graces.
