As to my own, a tall chestnut thoroughbred that Mr. Parish had brought over from England, I never saw him in finer fettle.

He's been some time in ill fettle, though he was never frowsy, not he, but always kind and dooce, and canty once, like anither; and he asked me to tak the boat across the lake at once to the Clough o' Cloostedd at t'other side.

But the interior she gradually fitted in a novel fettle, almost entirely after her own design.

He was in splendid fettle for writing that evening.
