Dedication: For my friends in and from Glasgow. And if you demur that Donald's dialect is not always consistent, why, neither is yours - particularly among those of you who have, like Donald, knocked about the world and picked up bad habits from Sassenachs, Yanks and Ockers.

Epigraph: 'Our plesance here is all VANEGLORY; / This false world is bot transitory; / The flesh is brukle the Fend is sle. / Timor mortis conturbat me...' William Dunbar, 'Lament for the Makaris'.
