安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I was presented with the Freedom of Edinburgh as we passed northward--Lord Rosebery making the speech. The crowd in Edinburgh was great. I addressed the working-men in the largest hall and received a present from them as did Mrs. Carnegie also--a brooch she values highly. She heard and saw the pipers in all their glory and begged there should be one at our home--a piper to walk around and waken us in the morning and also to play us in to dinner. American as she is to the core, and Connecticut Puritan at that, she declared that if condemned to live upon a lonely island and allowed to choose only one musical instrument, it would be the pipes. The piper was secured quickly enough. One called and presented credentials from Cluny McPherson. We engaged him and were preceded by him playing the pipes as we entered our Kilgraston house.

白话
卡内基夫妇北上途中，爱丁堡授予卡内基荣誉市民称号，罗斯伯里勋爵发表演讲。爱丁堡人群盛大，卡内基在最大的礼堂对工人们讲话，并收到他们赠送的礼物；卡内基夫人也收到一枚她非常珍视的胸针。她见识了风笛手的风采，便请求在家里也雇一个——早晨绕着屋子吹奏唤醒他们，晚餐时吹奏引导入席。她虽是地道的美国人、康涅狄格清教徒，却宣称若被放逐到荒岛只能选一种乐器，那一定是风笛。风笛手很快雇到，有人带着克鲁尼·麦克弗森的推荐信前来应征，他们聘用了他，并让他吹着风笛在前引导，进入基尔格拉斯顿的宅邸。
上下文
