loon = boy, not sir
I am going to assume you were younger than her, also she would have had more status than yourself as she was your landlady.

I would never use quine, and especially not quinie with someone such as a landlady, unless you are good friends and joking around. Quine refers to a girl or young woman, never madame. Wifey refers to a woman; married or not.

Fit like ma loon = what are you doing my boy.

nae sae bad quinie, fit like yasel.= not so bad girly, what are you up to yourself?
