- What is it that is neither withing nor without but is of use to the house.
= A door.As round as a steeple as high as a jail it never cries out till it is pulled by the tail.
= A bell.As I went out on yonder gap I met my uncle Davie I took off his head and sucked his blood and left him lying easy
= A blackberryA roomful and housefull and couldnt lift a spoonful
= Smole.Long legs short thighs little head and no eyes.
= A tongs.What always walks with its head down
= A nail in a mans boot.- Informant
