- "Que d'Écossais, de rats, de poux,
- Ceux qui voyagent jusqu'au bout
- Du monde, en rencontrent partout."
- ("Scots, rats and lice; he who travels to the end of the earth will meet them everywhere.")
- an old French proverb; recorded in The Tragedy of Two Stuarts, by Mildred Carnegy, 1914; translation by Mais oui!, 2008 (my French is a bit rusty)
