 Context examples 

A little white wine and a cold bird—it is as much as the niggardly Scotchman will allow me.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

While I, quoth the other loudly, do maintain the good sense and extraordinary wisdom of that most learned William against the crack-brained fantasies of the muddy Scotchman, who hath hid such little wit as he has under so vast a pile of words, that it is like one drop of Gascony in a firkin of ditch-water.

(The White Company, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
