Alan
flushed
darkly
.
"
I
'll
not
offer
it
again
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
'm
not
a
patient
man
,
David
.
"
"
I
never
said
you
were
,
"
said
I
,
which
was
exactly
the
rude
,
silly
speech
of
a
boy
of
ten
.

Alan
made
no
answer
at
the
time
,
but
his
conduct
answered
for
him
.
Henceforth
,
it
is
to
be
thought
,
he
quite
forgave
himself
for
the
affair
at
Cluny
's
;
cocked
his
hat
again
,
walked
jauntily
,
whistled
airs
,
and
looked
at
me
upon
one
side
with
a
provoking
smile
.
The
third
night
we
were
to
pass
through
the
western
end
of
the
country
of
Balquhidder
.
It
came
clear
and
cold
,
with
a
touch
in
the
air
like
frost
,
and
a
northerly
wind
that
blew
the
clouds
away
and
made
the
stars
bright
.
The
streams
were
full
,
of
course
,
and
still
made
a
great
noise
among
the
hills
;
but
I
observed
that
Alan
thought
no
more
upon
the
Kelpie
,
and
was
in
high
good
spirits
.
As
for
me
,
the
change
of
weather
came
too
late
;
I
had
lain
in
the
mire
so
long
that
(
as
the
Bible
has
it
)
my
very
clothes
"
abhorred
me
.
"
I
was
dead
weary
,
deadly
sick
and
full
of
pains
and
shiverings
;
the
chill
of
the
wind
went
through
me
,
and
the
sound
of
it
confused
my
ears
.
In
this
poor
state
I
had
to
bear
from
my
companion
something
in
the
nature
of
a
persecution
.
He
spoke
a
good
deal
,
and
never
without
a
taunt
.
"
Whig
"
was
the
best
name
he
had
to
give
me
.
"
Here
,
"
he
would
say
,
"
here
's
a
dub
for
ye
to
jump
,
my
Whiggie
!
I
ken
you
're
a
fine
jumper
!
"
And
so
on
;
all
the
time
with
a
gibing
voice
and
face
.
I
knew
it
was
my
own
doing
,
and
no
one
else
's
;
but
I
was
too
miserable
to
repent
.
I
felt
I
could
drag
myself
but
little
farther
;
pretty
soon
,
I
must
lie
down
and
die
on
these
wet
mountains
like
a
sheep
or
a
fox
,
and
my
bones
must
whiten
there
like
the
bones
of
a
beast
.
My
head
was
light
perhaps
;
but
I
began
to
love
the
prospect
,
I
began
to
glory
in
the
thought
of
such
a
death
,
alone
in
the
desert
,
with
the
wild
eagles
besieging
my
last
moments
.
Alan
would
repent
then
,
I
thought
;
he
would
remember
,
when
I
was
dead
,
how
much
he
owed
me
,
and
the
remembrance
would
be
torture
.
So
I
went
like
a
sick
,
silly
,
and
bad-hearted
schoolboy
,
feeding
my
anger
against
a
fellow-man
,
when
I
would
have
been
better
on
my
knees
,
crying
on
God
for
mercy
.
And
at
each
of
Alan
's
taunts
,
I
hugged
myself
.
"
Ah
!
"
thinks
I
to
myself
,
"
I
have
a
better
taunt
in
readiness
;
when
I
lie
down
and
die
,
you
will
feel
it
like
a
buffet
in
your
face
;
ah
,
what
a
revenge
!
ah
,
how
you
will
regret
your
ingratitude
and
cruelty
!

All
the
while
,
I
was
growing
worse
and
worse
.
Once
I
had
fallen
,
my
leg
simply
doubling
under
me
,
and
this
had
struck
Alan
for
the
moment
;
but
I
was
afoot
so
briskly
,
and
set
off
again
with
such
a
natural
manner
,
that
he
soon
forgot
the
incident
.
Flushes
of
heat
went
over
me
,
and
then
spasms
of
shuddering
.
The
stitch
in
my
side
was
hardly
bearable
.
At
last
I
began
to
feel
that
I
could
trail
myself
no
farther
:
and
with
that
,
there
came
on
me
all
at
once
the
wish
to
have
it
out
with
Alan
,
let
my
anger
blaze
,
and
be
done
with
my
life
in
a
more
sudden
manner
.
He
had
just
called
me
"
Whig
.
"
I
stopped
.
"
Mr.
Stewart
,
"
said
I
,
in
a
voice
that
quivered
like
a
fiddle-string
,
"
you
are
older
than
I
am
,
and
should
know
your
manners
.
Do
you
think
it
either
very
wise
or
very
witty
to
cast
my
politics
in
my
teeth
?
I
thought
,
where
folk
differed
,
it
was
the
part
of
gentlemen
to
differ
civilly
;
and
if
I
did
not
,
I
may
tell
you
I
could
find
a
better
taunt
than
some
of
yours
.
