To
be
sure
,
I
might
have
pleaded
my
fatigue
,
which
was
excuse
enough
;
but
I
thought
it
behoved
that
I
should
bear
a
testimony
.
I
must
have
got
very
red
in
the
face
,
but
I
spoke
steadily
,
and
told
them
I
had
no
call
to
be
a
judge
of
others
,
but
for
my
own
part
,
it
was
a
matter
in
which
I
had
no
clearness
.
Cluny
stopped
mingling
the
cards
.
"
What
in
deil
's
name
is
this
?
"
says
he
.
"
What
kind
of
Whiggish
,
canting
talk
is
this
,
for
the
house
of
Cluny
Macpherson
?
"
"
I
will
put
my
hand
in
the
fire
for
Mr.
Balfour
,
"
says
Alan
.
"
He
is
an
honest
and
a
mettle
gentleman
,
and
I
would
have
ye
bear
in
mind
who
says
it
.
I
bear
a
king
's
name
,
"
says
he
,
cocking
his
hat
;
"
and
I
and
any
that
I
call
friend
are
company
for
the
best
.
But
the
gentleman
is
tired
,
and
should
sleep
;
if
he
has
no
mind
to
the
cartes
,
it
will
never
hinder
you
and
me
.
And
I
'm
fit
and
willing
,
sir
,
to
play
ye
any
game
that
ye
can
name
.

"
Sir
,
"
says
Cluny
,
"
in
this
poor
house
of
mine
I
would
have
you
to
ken
that
any
gentleman
may
follow
his
pleasure
.
If
your
friend
would
like
to
stand
on
his
head
,
he
is
welcome
.
And
if
either
he
,
or
you
,
or
any
other
man
,
is
not
preceesely
satisfied
,
I
will
be
proud
to
step
outside
with
him
.
"
I
had
no
will
that
these
two
friends
should
cut
their
throats
for
my
sake
.
"
Sir
,
"
said
I
,
"
I
am
very
wearied
,
as
Alan
says
;
and
what
's
more
,
as
you
are
a
man
that
likely
has
sons
of
your
own
,
I
may
tell
you
it
was
a
promise
to
my
father
.
"
"
Say
nae
mair
,
say
nae
mair
,
"
said
Cluny
,
and
pointed
me
to
a
bed
of
heather
in
a
corner
of
the
Cage
.

For
all
that
he
was
displeased
enough
,
looked
at
me
askance
,
and
grumbled
when
he
looked
.
And
indeed
it
must
be
owned
that
both
my
scruples
and
the
words
in
which
I
declared
them
,
smacked
somewhat
of
the
Covenanter
,
and
were
little
in
their
place
among
wild
Highland
Jacobites
.
What
with
the
brandy
and
the
venison
,
a
strange
heaviness
had
come
over
me
;
and
I
had
scarce
lain
down
upon
the
bed
before
I
fell
into
a
kind
of
trance
,
in
which
I
continued
almost
the
whole
time
of
our
stay
in
the
Cage
.
Sometimes
I
was
broad
awake
and
understood
what
passed
;
sometimes
I
only
heard
voices
,
or
men
snoring
,
like
the
voice
of
a
silly
river
;
and
the
plaids
upon
the
wall
dwindled
down
and
swelled
out
again
,
like
firelight
shadows
on
the
roof
.
I
must
sometimes
have
spoken
or
cried
out
,
for
I
remember
I
was
now
and
then
amazed
at
being
answered
;
yet
I
was
conscious
of
no
particular
nightmare
,
only
of
a
general
,
black
,
abiding
horror
--
a
horror
of
the
place
I
was
in
,
and
the
bed
I
lay
in
,
and
the
plaids
on
the
wall
,
and
the
voices
,
and
the
fire
,
and
myself
.
The
barber-gillie
,
who
was
a
doctor
too
,
was
called
in
to
prescribe
for
me
;
but
as
he
spoke
in
the
Gaelic
,
I
understood
not
a
word
of
his
opinion
,
and
was
too
sick
even
to
ask
for
a
translation
.
I
knew
well
enough
I
was
ill
,
and
that
was
all
I
cared
about
.
