Chapter C
Cadgers are ay fond o’ creels.
Cast a cat o’er the house rigging ’twill fa’ on its feet.
Cast a bane in the deil’s teeth.
Cats an carlins sit in the sun.
Cauld cools the love that kindles ower het.
Changes are lightsome.
Charity begins at hame.
Come unca’d sits unserv’d.
Comes to my hand like the boul of a pint stoup.
Come wi’ the wind and gae wi’ the water.
Confess’d faut is hauf amends.
Confess debt and crave days.
Confess and be hang’d.
Corn him weel, he’ll work the better.
Count again is not forbidden.
Count siller after a’ your kin.
Count like Jews and ’gree like brethren.
Credit is better than ill won gear.
Credit keeps the crown o’ our causeway.
Crocked carlin, quoth the cripple to his wife.
Cut your coat according to your claith.
Corbys will no pick out corby’s een.
