Nae so Mony as Thot!

Augustus De Morgan, A Budget of Paradoxes, p. 180:

A friend of mine heard the following (part) dialogue between two strong Scotch Calvinists: 'Noo! hoo manny d'ye thank there are of the alact on the arth at this moment?--Eh ! mabbee a doozen--Hoot! mon! nae so mony as thot!'


Strong Scotch Calvinists indeed.
