He Didn't Pay.

Young Angus had been out for the evening with his best girl. When he arrived home he found his father still sitting up. The old man looked up and shook his head.

“Hae ye been oot wi' you lassie again?” he asked.

“Aye, dad,” replied young Angus. “Why do ye look sae worried?”

“I was just wonderin' how much the evening cost.”

“Not more than half-a-crown, dad.”

“Aye? That was no sae much.”

“It was a' she had,” said Angus.
