Note 140 — 238 GLENLOGIE, OR, JEAN O BETHELNIE
Reading edition
There is, to tell the whole truth, an allusion in A, H to Jean’s portion, or tocher, as not being sufficient to justify the breaking of a previous engagement. One would wish to think that ‘portion’ in A 5 is a corruption of ‘fortune,’ and that what is meant is that her luck is hard. But tocher in H 3 is not easily disposed of.
