Why
,
yes
,
sir
,
"
he
cried
,
"
very
many
.
And
it
would
be
ten
times
better
for
your
uncle
(
to
go
no
farther
afield
)
if
he
were
dangling
decently
upon
a
gibbet
.
"
Thereupon
he
turned
into
the
house
(
still
in
a
great
fervour
of
mind
,
so
that
I
saw
I
had
pleased
him
heartily
)
and
there
he
wrote
me
two
letters
,
making
his
comments
on
them
as
he
wrote
.
"
This
,
"
says
he
,
"
is
to
my
bankers
,
the
British
Linen
Company
,
placing
a
credit
to
your
name
.
Consult
Mr.
Thomson
,
he
will
know
of
ways
;
and
you
,
with
this
credit
,
can
supply
the
means
.
I
trust
you
will
be
a
good
husband
of
your
money
;
but
in
the
affair
of
a
friend
like
Mr.
Thomson
,
I
would
be
even
prodigal
.
Then
for
his
kinsman
,
there
is
no
better
way
than
that
you
should
seek
the
Advocate
,
tell
him
your
tale
,
and
offer
testimony
;
whether
he
may
take
it
or
not
,
is
quite
another
matter
,
and
will
turn
on
the
D.
of
A.

Now
,
that
you
may
reach
the
Lord
Advocate
well
recommended
,
I
give
you
here
a
letter
to
a
namesake
of
your
own
,
the
learned
Mr.
Balfour
of
Pilrig
,
a
man
whom
I
esteem
.
It
will
look
better
that
you
should
be
presented
by
one
of
your
own
name
;
and
the
laird
of
Pilrig
is
much
looked
up
to
in
the
Faculty
and
stands
well
with
Lord
Advocate
Grant
.
I
would
not
trouble
him
,
if
I
were
you
,
with
any
particulars
;
and
(
do
you
know
?
)
I
think
it
would
be
needless
to
refer
to
Mr.
Thomson
.
Form
yourself
upon
the
laird
,
he
is
a
good
model
;
when
you
deal
with
the
Advocate
,
be
discreet
;
and
in
all
these
matters
,
may
the
Lord
guide
you
,
Mr.
David
!
"
Thereupon
he
took
his
farewell
,
and
set
out
with
Torrance
for
the
Ferry
,
while
Alan
and
I
turned
our
faces
for
the
city
of
Edinburgh
.
As
we
went
by
the
footpath
and
beside
the
gateposts
and
the
unfinished
lodge
,
we
kept
looking
back
at
the
house
of
my
fathers
.
It
stood
there
,
bare
and
great
and
smokeless
,
like
a
place
not
lived
in
;
only
in
one
of
the
top
windows
,
there
was
the
peak
of
a
nightcap
bobbing
up
and
down
and
back
and
forward
,
like
the
head
of
a
rabbit
from
a
burrow
.
I
had
little
welcome
when
I
came
,
and
less
kindness
while
I
stayed
;
but
at
least
I
was
watched
as
I
went
away
.
Alan
and
I
went
slowly
forward
upon
our
way
,
having
little
heart
either
to
walk
or
speak
.
The
same
thought
was
uppermost
in
both
,
that
we
were
near
the
time
of
our
parting
;
and
remembrance
of
all
the
bygone
days
sate
upon
us
sorely
.
We
talked
indeed
of
what
should
be
done
;
and
it
was
resolved
that
Alan
should
keep
to
the
county
,
biding
now
here
,
now
there
,
but
coming
once
in
the
day
to
a
particular
place
where
I
might
be
able
to
communicate
with
him
,
either
in
my
own
person
or
by
messenger
.
In
the
meanwhile
,
I
was
to
seek
out
a
lawyer
,
who
was
an
Appin
Stewart
,
and
a
man
therefore
to
be
wholly
trusted
;
and
it
should
be
his
part
to
find
a
ship
and
to
arrange
for
Alan
's
safe
embarkation
.
No
sooner
was
this
business
done
,
than
the
words
seemed
to
leave
us
;
and
though
I
would
seek
to
jest
with
Alan
under
the
name
of
Mr.
Thomson
,
and
he
with
me
on
my
new
clothes
and
my
estate
,
you
could
feel
very
well
that
we
were
nearer
tears
than
laughter
.

We
came
the
by-way
over
the
hill
of
Corstorphine
;
and
when
we
got
near
to
the
place
called
Rest-and-be-Thankful
,
and
looked
down
on
Corstorphine
bogs
and
over
to
the
city
and
the
castle
on
the
hill
,
we
both
stopped
,
for
we
both
knew
without
a
word
said
that
we
had
come
to
where
our
ways
parted
.
Here
he
repeated
to
me
once
again
what
had
been
agreed
upon
between
us
:
the
address
of
the
lawyer
,
the
daily
hour
at
which
Alan
might
be
found
,
and
the
signals
that
were
to
be
made
by
any
that
came
seeking
him
.
Then
I
gave
what
money
I
had
(
a
guinea
or
two
of
Rankeillor
's
)
so
that
he
should
not
starve
in
the
meanwhile
;
and
then
we
stood
a
space
,
and
looked
over
at
Edinburgh
in
silence
.
"
Well
,
good-bye
,
"
said
Alan
,
and
held
out
his
left
hand
.
"
Good-bye
,
"
said
I
,
and
gave
the
hand
a
little
grasp
,
and
went
off
down
hill
