About this book
The Provost opens with an introduction saying “we paid our respects to Mrs Pawkie, the relict of the Provost of that name.” The introduction says the Provost of that name three several times enjoyed the honour of being chief magistrate in Gudetown. Chapter III is headed A Dirgie, and Bailie Mucklehose happened to die and, as a man long and well respected, had a great funeral.
Mr Shavings says to Mr Pawkie, “I hope ye’ll no refuse,” and Mr Pawkie reports that, “without making a phrase about the matter,” he said the grace. A night scene on a shore says many walked the sounding shore in sorrow and fires were lighted along it to a great extent. One speaker calls a matter “an offence that merits the most condign animadversion.”
