I never kenned ony guid come by a skylicht-except, maybe, Widow Gairdner's; wha was sittin ae nicht, thinkin whar she wad get her supper; an', as she thought, an' thought, an' was nae better or fu'er for thinkin, a man fell frae the roof at her feet, an', throwing frae him sixteen gowd guineas wi' pure fear, flew out at the door as if beelzebub an' a' his angels had been after him.

Has a wry look; a dogged, dungeon hue; of the deepest dusk and progeny of beelzebub!
"Anna St. Ives"
Thomas Holcroft
I was glad to escape from the company of these new inmates' of mine, these first-born of beelzebub, and to fly to my other prisoner.
