This
was
just
the
stab
that
Alan
would
feel
keenest
,
and
I
am
free
to
confess
he
took
it
very
ill
.
Not
a
word
would
he
answer
,
but
stepped
off
to
the
far
end
of
the
kitchen
,
and
sat
down
and
sulked
;
and
it
was
not
till
I
stepped
after
him
,
and
gave
him
my
hand
,
and
thanked
him
by
title
as
the
chief
spring
of
my
success
,
that
he
began
to
smile
a
bit
,
and
was
at
last
prevailed
upon
to
join
our
party
.
By
that
time
we
had
the
fire
lighted
,
and
a
bottle
of
wine
uncorked
;
a
good
supper
came
out
of
the
basket
,
to
which
Torrance
and
I
and
Alan
set
ourselves
down
;
while
the
lawyer
and
my
uncle
passed
into
the
next
chamber
to
consult
.
They
stayed
there
closeted
about
an
hour
;
at
the
end
of
which
period
they
had
come
to
a
good
understanding
,
and
my
uncle
and
I
set
our
hands
to
the
agreement
in
a
formal
manner
.
By
the
terms
of
this
,
my
uncle
bound
himself
to
satisfy
Rankeillor
as
to
his
intromissions
,
and
to
pay
me
two
clear
thirds
of
the
yearly
income
of
Shaws
So
the
beggar
in
the
ballad
had
come
home
;
and
when
I
lay
down
that
night
on
the
kitchen
chests
,
I
was
a
man
of
means
and
had
a
name
in
the
country
.
Alan
and
Torrance
and
Rankeillor
slept
and
snored
on
their
hard
beds
;
but
for
me
who
had
lain
out
under
heaven
and
upon
dirt
and
stones
,
so
many
days
and
nights
,
and
often
with
an
empty
belly
,
and
in
fear
of
death
,
this
good
change
in
my
case
unmanned
me
more
than
any
of
the
former
evil
ones
;
and
I
lay
till
dawn
,
looking
at
the
fire
on
the
roof
and
planning
the
future
.

So
far
as
I
was
concerned
myself
,
I
had
come
to
port
;
but
I
had
still
Alan
,
to
whom
I
was
so
much
beholden
,
on
my
hands
;
and
I
felt
besides
a
heavy
charge
in
the
matter
of
the
murder
and
James
of
the
Glens
.
On
both
these
heads
I
unbosomed
to
Rankeillor
the
next
morning
,
walking
to
and
fro
about
six
of
the
clock
before
the
house
of
Shaws
,
and
with
nothing
in
view
but
the
fields
and
woods
that
had
been
my
ancestors
'
and
were
now
mine
.
Even
as
I
spoke
on
these
grave
subjects
,
my
eye
would
take
a
glad
bit
of
a
run
over
the
prospect
,
and
my
heart
jump
with
pride
.
About
my
clear
duty
to
my
friend
,
the
lawyer
had
no
doubt
.
I
must
help
him
out
of
the
county
at
whatever
risk
;
but
in
the
case
of
James
,
he
was
of
a
different
mind
.
"
Mr.
Thomson
,
"
says
he
,
"
is
one
thing
,
Mr.
Thomson
's
kinsman
quite
another
.
I
know
little
of
the
facts
,
but
I
gather
that
a
great
noble
(
whom
we
will
call
,
if
you
like
,
the
D.
of
A.
)
has
some
concern
and
is
even
supposed
to
feel
some
animosity
in
the
matter
.
The
D.
of
A.
is
doubtless
an
excellent
nobleman
;
but
,
Mr.
David
,
timeo
qui
nocuere
deos
.
If
you
interfere
to
balk
his
vengeance
,
you
should
remember
there
is
one
way
to
shut
your
testimony
out
;
and
that
is
to
put
you
in
the
dock
.
There
,
you
would
be
in
the
same
pickle
as
Mr.
Thomson
's
kinsman
.
You
will
object
that
you
are
innocent
;
well
,
but
so
is
he
.
And
to
be
tried
for
your
life
before
a
Highland
jury
,
on
a
Highland
quarrel
and
with
a
Highland
Judge
upon
the
bench
,
would
be
a
brief
transition
to
the
gallows
.

Now
I
had
made
all
these
reasonings
before
and
found
no
very
good
reply
to
them
;
so
I
put
on
all
the
simplicity
I
could
.
"
In
that
case
,
sir
,
"
said
I
,
"
I
would
just
have
to
be
hanged
--
would
I
not
?
"
"
My
dear
boy
,
"
cries
he
,
"
go
in
God
's
name
,
and
do
what
you
think
is
right
.
It
is
a
poor
thought
that
at
my
time
of
life
I
should
be
advising
you
to
choose
the
safe
and
shameful
;
and
I
take
it
back
with
an
apology
.
Go
and
do
your
duty
;
and
be
hanged
,
if
you
must
,
like
a
gentleman
.
There
are
worse
things
in
the
world
than
to
be
hanged
.
"
"
Not
many
,
sir
,
"
said
I
,
smiling
.
