Weel
,
"
said
my
uncle
,
"
I
dinnae
care
what
he
said
,
he
leed
,
and
the
solemn
God
's
truth
is
this
,
that
I
gave
him
twenty
pound
.
But
I
'll
be
perfec
'
ly
honest
with
ye
:
forby
that
,
he
was
to
have
the
selling
of
the
lad
in
Caroliny
,
whilk
would
be
as
muckle
mair
,
but
no
from
my
pocket
,
ye
see
.
"
"
Thank
you
,
Mr.
Thomson
.
That
will
do
excellently
well
,
"
said
the
lawyer
,
stepping
forward
;
and
then
mighty
civilly
,
"
Good-evening
,
Mr.
Balfour
,
"
said
he
.
And
,
"
Good-evening
,
Uncle
Ebenezer
,
"
said
I.

And
,
"
It
's
a
braw
nicht
,
Mr.
Balfour
,
"
added
Torrance
.
Never
a
word
said
my
uncle
,
neither
black
nor
white
;
but
just
sat
where
he
was
on
the
top
door-step
and
stared
upon
us
like
a
man
turned
to
stone
.
Alan
filched
away
his
blunderbuss
;
and
the
lawyer
,
taking
him
by
the
arm
,
plucked
him
up
from
the
doorstep
,
led
him
into
the
kitchen
,
whither
we
all
followed
,
and
set
him
down
in
a
chair
beside
the
hearth
,
where
the
fire
was
out
and
only
a
rush-light
burning
.
There
we
all
looked
upon
him
for
a
while
,
exulting
greatly
in
our
success
,
but
yet
with
a
sort
of
pity
for
the
man
's
shame
.
"
Come
,
come
,
Mr.
Ebenezer
,
"
said
the
lawyer
,
"
you
must
not
be
down-hearted
,
for
I
promise
you
we
shall
make
easy
terms
.
In
the
meanwhile
give
us
the
cellar
key
,
and
Torrance
shall
draw
us
a
bottle
of
your
father
's
wine
in
honour
of
the
event
.
"
Then
,
turning
to
me
and
taking
me
by
the
hand
,
"
Mr.
David
,
"
says
he
,
"
I
wish
you
all
joy
in
your
good
fortune
,
which
I
believe
to
be
deserved
.

And
then
to
Alan
,
with
a
spice
of
drollery
,
"
Mr.
Thomson
,
I
pay
you
my
compliment
;
it
was
most
artfully
conducted
;
but
in
one
point
you
somewhat
outran
my
comprehension
.
Do
I
understand
your
name
to
be
James
?
or
Charles
?
or
is
it
George
,
perhaps
?
"
"
And
why
should
it
be
any
of
the
three
,
sir
?
"
quoth
Alan
,
drawing
himself
up
,
like
one
who
smelt
an
offence
.
"
Only
,
sir
,
that
you
mentioned
a
king
's
name
,
"
replied
Rankeillor
;
"
and
as
there
has
never
yet
been
a
King
Thomson
,
or
his
fame
at
least
has
never
come
my
way
,
I
judged
you
must
refer
to
that
you
had
in
baptism
.
