He
gave
me
the
letter
,
which
was
addressed
in
these
words
:
"
To
the
hands
of
Ebenezer
Balfour
,
Esquire
,
of
Shaws
,
in
his
house
of
Shaws
,
these
will
be
delivered
by
my
son
,
David
Balfour
.
"
My
heart
was
beating
hard
at
this
great
prospect
now
suddenly
opening
before
a
lad
of
seventeen
years
of
age
,
the
son
of
a
poor
country
dominie
in
the
Forest
of
Ettrick
.
12
"
Mr.
Campbell
,
"
I
stammered
,
"
and
if
you
were
in
my
shoes
,
would
you
go
?
"
13
"
Of
a
surety
,
"
said
the
minister
,
"
that
would
I
,
and
without
pause
.
A
pretty
lad
like
you
should
get
to
Cramond
(
which
is
near
in
by
Edinburgh
)
in
two
days
of
walk
.
If
the
worst
came
to
the
worst
,
and
your
high
relations
(
as
I
can
not
but
suppose
them
to
be
somewhat
of
your
blood
)
should
put
you
to
the
door
,
ye
can
but
walk
the
two
days
back
again
and
risp
at
the
manse
door
.
But
I
would
rather
hope
that
ye
shall
be
well
received
,
as
your
poor
father
forecast
for
you
,
and
for
anything
that
I
ken
come
to
be
a
great
man
in
time
.
And
here
,
Davie
,
laddie
,
"
he
resumed
,
"
it
lies
near
upon
my
conscience
to
improve
this
parting
,
and
set
you
on
the
right
guard
against
the
dangers
of
the
world
.

Here
he
cast
about
for
a
comfortable
seat
,
lighted
on
a
big
boulder
under
a
birch
by
the
trackside
,
sate
down
upon
it
with
a
very
long
,
serious
upper
lip
,
and
the
sun
now
shining
in
upon
us
between
two
peaks
,
put
his
pocket-handkerchief
over
his
cocked
hat
to
shelter
him
.
15
There
,
then
,
with
uplifted
forefinger
,
he
first
put
me
on
my
guard
against
a
considerable
number
of
heresies
,
to
which
I
had
no
temptation
,
and
urged
upon
me
to
be
instant
in
my
prayers
and
reading
of
the
Bible
.
That
done
,
he
drew
a
picture
of
the
great
house
that
I
was
bound
to
,
and
how
I
should
conduct
myself
with
its
inhabitants
.
16
"
Be
soople
,
Davie
,
in
things
immaterial
,
"
said
he
.
"
Bear
ye
this
in
mind
,
that
,
though
gentle
born
,
ye
have
had
a
country
rearing
.
Dinnae
shame
us
,
Davie
,
dinnae
shame
us
!
In
yon
great
,
muckle
house
,
with
all
these
domestics
,
upper
and
under
,
show
yourself
as
nice
,
as
circumspect
,
as
quick
at
the
conception
,
and
as
slow
of
speech
as
any
.
As
for
the
laird
--
remember
he
's
the
laird
;
I
say
no
more
:
honour
to
whom
honour
.
It
's
a
pleasure
to
obey
a
laird
;
or
should
be
,
to
the
young
.
"
17
"
Well
,
sir
,
"
said
I
,
"
it
may
be
;
and
I
'll
promise
you
I
'll
try
to
make
it
so
.

"
Why
,
very
well
said
,
"
replied
Mr.
Campbell
,
heartily
.
"
And
now
to
come
to
the
material
,
or
(
to
make
a
quibble
)
to
the
immaterial
.
I
have
here
a
little
packet
which
contains
four
things
.
"
He
tugged
it
,
as
he
spoke
,
and
with
some
great
difficulty
,
from
the
skirt
pocket
of
his
coat
.
"
Of
these
four
things
,
the
first
is
your
legal
due
:
the
little
pickle
money
for
your
father
's
books
and
plenishing
,
which
I
have
bought
(
as
I
have
explained
from
the
first
)
in
the
design
of
re-selling
at
a
profit
to
the
incoming
dominie
.
The
other
three
are
gifties
that
Mrs.
Campbell
and
myself
would
be
blithe
of
your
acceptance
.
19
The
first
,
which
is
round
,
will
likely
please
ye
best
at
the
first
off-go
;
but
,
O
Davie
,
laddie
,
it
's
but
a
drop
of
water
in
the
sea
;
it
'll
help
you
but
a
step
,
and
vanish
like
the
morning
.
The
second
,
which
is
flat
and
square
and
written
upon
,
will
stand
by
you
through
life
,
like
a
good
staff
for
the
road
,
and
a
good
pillow
to
your
head
in
sickness
.
And
as
for
the
last
,
which
is
cubical
,
that
'll
see
you
,
it
's
my
prayerful
wish
,
into
a
better
land
.
"
20
With
that
he
got
upon
his
feet
,
took
off
his
hat
,
and
prayed
a
little
while
aloud
,
and
in
affecting
terms
,
for
a
young
man
setting
out
into
the
world
;
then
suddenly
took
me
in
his
arms
and
embraced
me
very
hard
;
then
held
me
at
arm
's
length
,
looking
at
me
with
his
face
all
working
with
sorrow
;
and
then
whipped
about
,
and
crying
good-bye
to
me
,
set
off
backward
by
the
way
that
we
had
come
at
a
sort
of
jogging
run
.
It
might
have
been
laughable
to
another
;
but
I
was
in
no
mind
to
laugh
.
I
watched
him
as
long
as
he
was
in
sight
;
and
he
never
stopped
hurrying
,
nor
once
looked
back
.
Then
it
came
in
upon
my
mind
that
this
was
all
his
sorrow
at
my
departure
;
and
my
conscience
smote
me
hard
and
fast
,
because
I
,
for
my
part
,
was
overjoyed
to
get
away
out
of
that
quiet
country-side
,
and
go
to
a
great
,
busy
house
,
among
rich
and
respected
gentlefolk
of
my
own
name
and
blood
.
