"Old Dunn ain't done, old Dunn ain't done,
Old Dunn, old Dunn ain't done, Old Dunn ain't done, old Dunn ain't done, Old Dunn, old Dunn ain't done." But the crowd rejected the Colonial version, and rendered in their own good Doric: "Old Dunn's no' done, old Dunn's no' done, Old Dunn, old Dunn's no' done, Old Dunn's no' done, old Dunn's no' done, Old Dunn, old Dunn's no' done." And so they sang and swayed, following the van till they neared Queen Street, down which lay the doctor's course. "For heaven's sake, can't they be choked off?" groaned Dunn. The doctor signalled Jock to him. "Jock," he said, "we'll just slip through at Queen Street." "We'd like awfully to do Princes Street, Sir," pleaded Jock. "Princes Street, you born ass!" cried Dunn wrathfully. "Oh, yes, let them!" cried young Rob, whose delight in the glory of his hero had been beyond all measure. "Let them do Princes Street, just once!" |
