She wore a tam-o'-shanter, and I thought her brown hair the prettiest shade of brown I had ever seen.

The brief tale of _Thrawn Janet_, and Black Andy's story of Tod Lapraik in _Catriona_, are grotesque imaginations of the school of _Tam o' Shanter_ rather than of the school of Shakespeare, who deals in no comedy ghosts.

Her first impulse, of course, was to pull her own symphony ticket from her muff and hurry forward with a “Here, take mine!” But that _would_ hardly do, she knew--though she would like to see Aunt Hannah's aghast face if this girl in the red sweater and white tam-o'-shanter should suddenly emerge from among the sumptuous satins and furs and plumes that afternoon and claim the adjacent orchestra chair.

Carlyle has complained that _Tam o’ Shanter_ is, from the absence of this quality, only a picturesque and external piece of work; and I may add that in the _Twa Dogs_ it is precisely in the infringement of dramatic propriety that a great deal of the humour of the speeches depends for its existence and effect.

Burns then began to repeat Tan O’Shanter; but was so tickled with its wit and humor—of which, however, I suspect he had but a traditionary sense—that he soon burst into a fit of chirruping laughter, succeeded by a cough, which brought this not very agreeable exhibition to a close.
