CHAPTER XXVI.
I 00 IN QUEST OF MY INHERITANCE,
rjlj. :
I
Al<in strode to the door and began to
knock.
Here I made what change I could in
my appearance, and blithe was I to look
in the glass and find the beggar man a
thing of the past and David Dalfou*
come to life again. And yet I was
ashamed of the change, too, and above
all of the borrowed clothes. When I
had done Mr. Rankeillor caught me on
the stair, made me his compliments and
had me again into the cabinet.
“Sit ye down, Mr. David,” said he,
“and now that you are looking a little
more like yourself, let me see if I can
find you any news. You will be won
dering, no doubt, about your father and
your uncle? To be sure it is a singular
tale, and the explanation is one that 1
blush to have to offer you. For,” says
he, really with embarrassment, “the
matter hinges on a love affair.”
“Truly,” said I, “I can not very well
join that notion with my uncle.”
“But your uncle, Mr. David, was not
always old,” replied the lawyer, “and
what may perhaps surprise you more,
not always ugly. He had a fine, gallant
air; people stood in their doors to look
after him as he went by upon a mettle
horse. I have seen it with these eyes,
and I ingenuously confess, not altogether
without envy, for I was a plain lad my
self and a plain man's son, and in those
days it was a case of Odi te, qui bellns
es, Sabelle.”
“It sounds like a dream,” said I.
“Aye, aye,” said the lawyer, “that is
hpw it is with youth and age. Nor was
that all, but he had a spirit of his own
that seemed to promise great tilings in
the future. In seventeen hundred and
fifteen, what must he do but run away
to join the rebels. It was your father
that pursued him. found him in a ditch
and brought him back multum gemeus,
to the mirth of the whole country.
However, majora cananius—the two
lads fell in love, and that with the
same lady. Mr. Ebenezer, who was
the admired and the beloved, and the
spoiled one, made, no doubt, mighty
certain of the victory, and when he
found he had deceived himself screamed
like a peacock. The whole country
heard of it; now he lay sick at home,
with his silly family standing around
the bed in tears; now he rode from pub
lic house to public house and shouted his
sorrow into the lug of Tom, Dick and
Harry. Your father, Mr. David, w'as a
kind gentleman, but he was weak—dole
fully weak—took all this felly with a
long countenance, and one day—by your
leave!—resigned the lady. She was no
such fool, however—it’s from her you
must inherit your excellent good sense—
and she refused to be bandied from one
to another. Both got upon their knees
to her, and the upshot of the natter for
that while was that pb« showed both of
them the door. That was in August,
dear me I the same year I come f roni
college. The scene must have been high
ly farcical.”
i thought myself it was a silly busi
ness. but 1 could not forget my father
had a hand in it. “Surely, sir, it had
some note of tragedy,” said I.
“Why, no, sir, not at all,” returned
the lawyer. “For tragedy implies some
ponderable matter in dispute, some dig-
nus vineice nodus; and this piece of
work was all about the petulance of a
young ass that had been spoiled and
wanted nothing so much as to be -tied up
and soundly belted. However, that was
not your father’s view, and the end of it
was that from concession to concession
on your father’s part, and from one
height to another of squalling, senti
mental selfishness upon your uncle’s,
they came at last to drive a sort of bar
gain, from whose ill results you have re
cently been smarting. The one man took
the lady, the other the estate. Now,
Mr. David, they talk a great deal of
charity and generosity, but in this dis
putable state of life 1 often think th<
happiest consequences seem to flow
when a gentleman consults his lawyer
and takes all the law allows him. Any
how this piece of quixotry ujion your
father’s part, as it was unjust in itself,
has brought forth a monstrous family of
injustices. Your father and mother
lived and died poor folk. You were
poorly reared, and in the meanwhile
what a time it has been for the poor ten
ants on the estate of Shaws! And 1
might add (if it was a matter I cared
much about) what a time for Mr. Eben
ezer!”
"And yet that is certainly the stran
gest part of it all,” said I, “that a man’s
nature should thus change.”
“True,” said Mr. Rankeillor. “And
yet I imagine tt was natural enough.
He could not think that he had played
a handsome part. Those who knew the
story gave him the cold shoulder; those
who knew it not, seeing one brother dis
appear and the other succeed in the
estate, raised a cry of murder—so that
upon all sides he found himself evited.
Money was all he got by his bargain.
Well, he came to think the more of
money. He was selfish when he was
young; he is selfish now that he is old,
and the latter end of all these pretty
manners and fine feelings you have seen
tw ISHUasU-’’ ...
“Well, sir,” said 1,
wh.it is myjxisition?”
“The Estate is yours beyond a doubt,”
replied the lawyer. “It matters noth
ing what your father signed, you are
the heir of entail. But your uncle is a
mau to fight the indefensible, and it
would be likely your identity that he
would call in question. A lawsuit is
always expensive, and a family lawsuit
always scandalous; besides which, if
any of your doings with your friend
Mr. Thomson were to come out we
might find that we had burned our fin
gers. The kidnapping, to be sure, would
be a court card upon our side if we
could only prove it. But it may be dif
ficult to prove; and my advice (upon
the whole) is to make a very easy bar
gain with your uncle, perhaps even
leaving him at Shaws, where he has
taken root for a quarter of a century,
and contenting yourself in the mean
while with a fair provision.”
I told him I was very willing to be
easy, and that to carry family concerns
before the public was a sted from which
I was naturally much averse.
“The great affair,” 1 asked, “is to
bring home to him the kidnapping?”
“Surely,” said Mr. Rankeillor, “and
if possible out of court. For mark yon
here, Mr. David, we could no doubt
find some men of the Covenant who
would swear to your reclusion; but
once they were in the box we could no
longer check their testimony, and some .
w ord of your friend Mr. Thomson must
certainly crop out, which (from whaW
you have let fall) I cannot think to be
desirable.”
“Well, sir,” said I, “here is my way j
of it.” And I opened my plot to him.
“But this would seem to involve my
meeting the man Thomson?” says he
when I had done.
“1 think so, indeed, sir,” said I.
“Dear doctor!” cries he, rubbing his
brow. “Dear doctor! No, Mr. David,
I am afraid your scheme is inadmissible.
I say nothing against your friend Mr. j
Thomson; I know nothing against him,
and if I did—mark this, Mr. David—it
would be my duty so lay hands on him.
Now 1 put it to you, is it wise to meet? i
He may have matters to his charge. He
may not have told you all. His name
may not be even Thomson!” cries the
lawyer, twinkling, “for some of these
fellows will pick up names by the road
side as another would gather haws.”
“You must be the judge, sir,” said I.
But it was clear my plan had taken
hold upon his fancy, for he kept musing
to himself till we were called to dinner
and the company of Mrs. Rankeillor,
and that lady had scarce left us again to i
ourselves and a bottle of wine ere he was
back harping on my pro]>osal. When
and where was I to meet my friend Mr. I
Thomson? Was I sure of-Mr. T.’s discre- j
tion? Supposing we could catch the old
fox tripping, would I consent to such
and such a term of an agreement? These |
and the like questions he kept asking at
long intervals, while he thoughtfully
rolled his wine upon his tongue. When
1 had answered all of them, seemingly
to his contentment, he fell uito a still
deeper muse, even the claret being now-
forgotten. Then he got a sheet of paper
and a pencil and set to work writing
gnd weighing every word, and at last
touched a bell and had his clerk into the
chamber. »
“Torrance," said he, “1 must have
this written ont fair against tonight;
ami when it is done yon will be so kind
as to put on your hat and be ready to
come along with this gentleman and me,
for you will probably be wanted as a
witness.”
“What, sir," cried 1 as soon as the
clerk was gone, “are you to venture it?"
“Why so it would appear,” says he,
tilling his glass. “But let us sjieak no
more of business. The very sight of
Torrance brings in my head a little
droll matter of some years ago when I
had made a tryst with the poor oaf at
the cross of Edinburgh. Each had gone
his proper errand; and when it, came
four o’clock Torrance had been taking a
glass and did not know his master, and
I, who had forgot my spectacles, was so
blind without them that I give you my
word 1 did not know my own clerk."
And thereupon he laughed heartily.
1 said it was an odd chance and
smiled out of politeness; but what held
me all the aftAnoon in wonder he kept
returning and dwelling on this sug-y
and telling it again with fresh details
and laughter, so that 1 began at last to
be quite out of countenance and feel
ashamed for my friend's folly.
Toward the time I had appointed
with Alan we set out from the house,
Mr. Rankeillor and 1 arm in arm and
Torrance following behind with the
deed in his pocket and a covered basket
in his hand. All through the town the
lawyer was bowing right and left and
continually being buttonholed by gen
tlemen on matters of burg or private
business, and 1 could see he was one
greatly looked up to in the country. At
last we were clear of the houses and
began to go alongside of the haven and
toward the Hawes inn and the fern-
pier, the scene of my misfortune. My
only thought should have been of grati
tude, and yet I could not behold the
place without sorrow for others and a
chill of recollected fear.
1 was thinking, when upon a sudden
Mr. Rankeillor cried out, clapped his
hand to his pockets and began to laugh.
“Why,” he cries, “if this be not a
farcical adventure! After all that 1
said 1 have forgot my glasses!”
At that of course I understood the
purpose of his anecdote and knew that
if he had left his spectacles at home it
had been done on purpose, so that he
might have the benefit of Alan's help
without the awkwardness of recogniz
ing him.
As soon as we were past the Hawes,
w here I recognized the landlord smok
ing his pipe in the door, and was amazed
to see him look no older, Mr. Rankeillor
changed the order of march, walking
behind with Torrance and sending me
! forward in the manner of a scout. J
went up the hill, whistling from time to
| time my Gaelic air, and at length I had
the pleasure to hear it answered and to
rssJim telllsj »tfiiah. He
was somewnat dasnert in spinis, navmg
passed a long day alone skulk ng in the
country, and made but a poo.- meal in
an alehouse near Duvdas. lint at the
mere sight of my clothes he began to
brighten up, ami as soon as 1 had told
him in what a forward stab our mat
ters were, and the part I looked to him
to play in what remaiued, he sprang
into a new man.
“And that is a very good notion of
yours,” says he, “and 1 dure to say that
you could lay your hands upon no better
man to put it through than A an Breck.
It is not a thing (mark ye) that any one
could do, but takes a gentleim.n of pene
tration. But it sticks in my head your
lawyer man will be somewhat wearying
to see me,” says Alan.
Accordingly I cried and waved on
Mr. Rankeillor, who came up alone and
was presented to my friend Mr. Thom
son.
“Mr. Thomson, I am pleased to meet
you," said he. “But I have forgotten
my glasses, and our friend, Mr. David
here” (clapping me on the shoulder)
“will tell you that I am little better
than blind, and that you must not be
surprised if I pass you by tomorrow.”
This he said, thinking that Alan
would be pleased; but the highland-
man’s vanity was ready to s artle at a
less matter than that.
“Why, sir,” says he, stiffly, “I would
say it mattered the less as w > are met
here for a particular end, to fee justice
done to Mr. Balfour; and by what I can
see, not very likely to have much else in
common. But I accept your a oology,
which was a very proper one to make.”
“And that is more than I could look
for, Mr. Thomson,” said Rankeillor
heartily. “And now as you and I are
the chief actors in this enterprise, I
think we should come to a n ice agree
ment, to which end I propose that you
should lend me your arm, or (what
with the dusk and the want of my
glasses) I am not very clear as to the
path; and as for you, Mr. I avid, you
wifi find Torrance a pleasant kind of
body to speak with. Only 1 -t me re
mind you it’s quite needless he should
hear more of your adventure: or those
of—ahem—Mr. Thomson.”
Accordingly these two went on ahead
in very close talk, and Torrance and 1
brought up the rear.
Night was quite come when we came
in view of the house of Shaws. It seemed
my uncle was already in bed, which was
indeed the best thing for our arrange
ments. We made our last whis tered con
sultation somg fifty yards away; and
then the lawyer and Torrai ce and I
crept quietly up and crouched dow-n be
side the corner of the house; and as soon
as we were in our places Alai strode to
the door without concealment and began
to knock.
