CHAPTER XXVII.
I COMK INTO MYJCISUDOM.
"Thank you, Mr. Thomson," said the
lawyer.
For some time Alan volleyed upon the
door and his knocking only roused the
echoes of the house and neighborhood.
At last, however, I could hear the noise
of a window gently thrust up and knew
that my uncle had come to his observa
tory. By what light there was he would
see Alan standing like a dark shadow on
the steps, the three witnesses were hid
den quite ont of his view, go that in
what he saw there was nothing to alarm
an honest man in his own house. For
all that he studied his visitor awhile in
silence, and when he spoke his voice had
a quaver of misgiving. »
“What’s this?” says he. “This is nae
kind of time of night for docent folk,
and I hae nae trokings [dealings] wi'
nighthawks. What brings ye here? 1
baye*a blunderbush.”
“Is that yoursel’, Mr. Balfour?” re
turned Alan stepping back and. looking
up into the dr.rkness. “Have a care of
that blunderbuss; they’re nasty things
to burst.”
“What brings ye here, and whae are
ye?” says my uncle angrily.
“I have no manner of inclination to
rowt out my name to the countryside,”
said Alan, “but what brings me here is
another story, being more of your affairs
than mine, and if ye’re sure it’s what ye
would like I’ll set it to a tune and sing
it to you.”
“And what is’t?” asked my uncle.
“David,” says Alan.
“What was that?” cried my uncle in a
mighty changed voice,
“Shall I give ye the rest of the name
then?” said Alan.
There was a pause, and then, “I’m
thinking I’ll better let ye in,” says my
uncle doubtfully.
“I dare say that,” said Alan, “but the
point is, would I go? Now I will tell
you what 1 am thinking. I am thinking
that it is here upon this doorstep that
we must confer upon this business, and
it shall be here or nowhere at all what
ever, for 1 would have you to under
stand that I am as stiff necked as your
sel’ and a gentleman of better family.”
This change of note disconcerted
Ebenezer. He was a little while digesting
it, and then says he, “Wee], weel, what
must he must,” and shut the window. But
it took him a long time to get down stairs
and a still longer to undo tfie fastenings,
nqienting, I dare say, and taken witl.
fresh claps of fear at every second step
and every bolt and bar. At last, how
ever, we beard the creak of the hinges,
and it seems my uncle slipped gingerly
out, and seeing that Alan had stepped
back a pace or two sat him down on the
top doorstep, with the blunderbuss ready
in his hands.
“And now,” says he, “mind. 1 have
my blthiderbnsh, and if ye take a step
nearer ye’re as good as deid.”
“And a very civil speech,” says Alan,
“to be sure.”
“Nao," says my uncle,'“but this is no
a very chancy kind of a proceeding, anti
I’m bound ‘to be prepared. And now
that we understand each other ye’ll can
name your hi siness.”
“Why," says Alan, “you that are a
man of so jnuoh understanding will
doubtless have perceived that 1 am a
hieland gentleman. My name has na<
business in my story; but the country
of my friends is no very far from the
Isle of Mull, of which ye will have
heard. It se< ms there was a ship lost m
those parts, and the next day a gentle
man of my family was seeking wreck
wood for his lire along the sands
when he came upon a lad that was
half drowned. Well, he brought him
to, and ke and some other gentlemen
took and clapped him in an acid, ruined
castle, where from that day to this he
has been a great expense to my friend“.
My friends are a wee wildlike, and not
so particular about the law as some that
I could name, and finding that the lad
owned some decent folk, and was your
born nephew, Mr. Balfonr, they asked
me to give ye a bit of a call and to con
fer ujion the matter. And I may tell ye
at the offgo, unless we can agree upon
some terms ye are little likely to set
eyes upon him. For my friends,” added
Alan simply, “are no very well off.”
My uix;le cleared his throat. “I’m nae
very caring,” says he. “He wasnae a
good lad at the best of it, and I’ve nae
call to interfere.”
“Aye, aye,” said Alan, “I see what ye
would lie at—pretending ye don’t care,
to make the ransom smaller.”
“Nae,” said my uncle, “it’s the mere
truth. I take nae manner of interest in
.the lad, and I’ll pay nae ransom, and ye
can make a kirk and a mill of him for
what 1 cart.”
"Hoot, sir,” says Alan. “Bloou’s thick
er than wa* sr, in the deil’s name! Vecnn-
nae desert ypur brother’s son for the fair
shame of it, and if ye did and it came
to bo kent ye wouldnae be very popu
lar in your countryside or I’m the more
deceived.”
“I’m nae just very popular the way it
is, ” returned Elwnezer, “and I dinnae see
how it would come to be kent. No by
me ony way, nor yet by you or your
friends. So that’s idle talk, my buckie,”
says he.
“Then it’ll have to ho David that tells
it, ” s»id Alan.
"IIow’i that?” aayf uiy uncle, sharply.
“Oh, jnst this way,” says Alan. “My
friends would doubtless keep your neph-
fiff ft» long as th$re yrag any likelihood
in snier to oe made ot It, nut II mere
was naue, 1 am clearly of opinion they
would let him gang where he pleased,
and be dimmed to him!”
“Aye, but I’m no very caring abont
that either,” said my uncle. “I would
nae be muckle made up with that.”
“I was thinking that,” said Alan.
“And what for why?” asked Ebenezer.
“Why, Mr. Balfour,” replied Alan, |
“by all that I could hear, there were i
two ways of it—either ye liked David
and would j«y to .get him back, or else
ye had very good reasons for not want- j
ing him, and would j>ay for us to keep,
him. It seems it’s not the first; well 1
then it’s the second, and blithe am I to
ken it, for it should 1* a pretty penny in"'
my pocket and the pockets of my
friends."
“I dinnae follow ye there,” said my
uncle.
“Nae?” said Alan. “Well, see here;
you dinnae want the lad back; well,
what do ye want done -with him and
how much will ye pay?”
My uncle made no answer, hut shifted
uueasily on his seat.
“Come, sir,” cried Alan, “I would
have y 3 to ken that I am a gentleman.
I bear a king’s name; I am nae rider to
kick my shanks at your hall door.
Either give me an answer in civility and
that out of hand, or by the top of Glen
coe I will ram three feet of iron through
your vitals.”
“Eh, man,” cried my uncle, scrambling
to his feet, “give me a meerit! What’s
like wrong with ye? I’m just a plain
man, and nae dancing master; and I'm
trying to be as ceevil as it's morally pos
sible. As'tir that wild talk, it's fair
disrepitable. Vitals, says you! And
where would I be with my blunder-
hush?” he snarled.
“Powder and your auld hands are bnt
as the snail to the swallow against the
bright steel in the hands of Alan.” said
the other. “Before your tottering finger
could find the trigger the hilt would dirl
on your breasthane.”
"Eh, man, whae’s denying it?” said
my uncle. “Pit as ye please, hae’t your
ain way; I’ll do naething to cross ye.
Jnst tell me what like ye'll lie wanting,
and ye'll see that we'll call agree fine.”
"Troth, sir,” said Alan, “I ask for
nothing but plain dealing. In two
words, do ye want the' lad killed or
kept?”
“Oh, sirs!” cried Ebenezer. “Oh.
sirs, me! That's no kind of language!”
“Killed or kept!" repeated Alan.
“Oh. keepit, keepitl” wailed my uncle.
“We’ll have nae bloodshed, if yon
please.”
“Well,” says Alan, “as ye please,
that'll be the dearer.”
' The dearer?” cries Ebenezer. “Would
ye fyle your hands wi’ crime?”
“Hoot!” said Alan, “they're baith
crime whatever! And the killing's
easier and quicker and surer. Keep
ing the bul'll be a fashions [troublesome]
job, a fashions, kittle business.”
“I'll have him keepit, though,” re
turned my uncle. “I never had naething
to do with anything morally wrong, and
I'm no gaun to begin to pleasure a wild
hielandman.”
“Ye’re unco scrupjdons,” sneered |
Alan.
“I’m a man o’ principle,” said Ebene
zer simply; “and if I have to pay for it
I’ll have to pay for it. And besides,”
says he, “ye forget the lad’s my brother’s :
son.”
"Well, well,” said Alan, “and now
about the price. It’s nae very easy for
me to set a name upon it; I would first
have to ken some small matters. 1
would have to ken, for instance, what i
ye gave Hoseason at the first offgo?”
“Hoseason?” cries my uncle, struck
aback. “What for?"
“For kidnapping David,” says Alan.
“It’s a lee, it’s a black lee!" cried my
uncle. “He was never kidnapped. He
leeil in his thViat that tanle ye that.
Kidnapped? He never was!”
“That’s no fault of mine nor yet of
yours," said Alan; “nor yet of Ilosea-
son’s. if he’s a man that can be trusted.” 1
“What do ye mean?" cried Ebenezer,
“did Hoseason tell ye?”
“Why, ye donnered auld runt, how
else would I ken?” cried Alan. “Ho
season and I are partners; we gaig
shares; so ye can see for yoursel’ what
good ye can do leeing. And I must
plainly say ye drove ^fool’s bargain
when y# let a man like the sailor man
so far forward in your private matters.
But that’s past praying for, and ye mnst
lie on yer bed the way ye made it. And
the point in hand is just this, What did
ye pay him?”
“Has he tauld ye HimselT’asked my
uncle.
“That's my concern," said Alan.
“Weel,” said my uncle, “I dinnaecare
what he said, he leed, and the solemn
God's truth is this, that I gave him
twenty pound. But I’ll be perf€>c’ly
honest with ye, forhy that he was to
have the selling of the lad in Caroliny,
whilk would be as muckle mair, hut no
from my pocket, ye see.”
"Thank you, Mr. Thomson. That will
do excellently wfcll,” said the lawyer,
stepping forward; and then mighty civ
illy, “Good evening, Mr. Balfour,”
said he.
And “Good evening, Uncle Ebenezer,"
said 1.
And “It’s a braw nicht, Mr. Balfour,”
added Torrance.
Never a word said my uncle, neither
black nor white, but just set where he
was on the top doorstep and stared upon
ns 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 by the
hearth, where the firs was out and only
a rnshlight burning.
"Come, come, Mr. Ebenezer,” said the
lawyer, “you must not he down hearted,
for 1 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 honor of
the event.” Then turning to me and
taking me by the hand, “Mr. David,"
says he, “1 wish you all joy in your
good fortune,' which I believe to be de-
aaxved.” And then to Alan with a spice
•
or drollery, ’ Air. Xliorison, 1 pay yon
my compliment: it was most artfully
conducted; hut in one point von some
what outran my (t#nprehension. Do 1
understand your name to lie Janies or
Charles, or is it George perhaps?"
“And why should it lie cuy of the
three, sir?" quoth Alan, drawing him
self up like one who smelled an offense.
| “Only, sir, that you mentioned a
■ king’s name," replied Ranked lor, “and
as there has never yet been a King
Thomas, or his fame at least has never
come my way. I judged you must refer
to that you had iu liaptism.”
This was just the stab that Alan
would feel keenest, and I ain free to
confess he took it very ill. Not a word
would he answer, hut stepped off to the
far end of the kitchen and sat down
and snlked; and it was not til’ 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 hail the fire 1 ghted and |
a bottle of wine uncorked; a good sup- I
per came ont of the basket, to which Tor-
ranee and I and Alan sat ourselves down,
while the lawyer and my uncle palsed
into the next chamber to consult. They
staid there closeted abont an hour, at
the end of which period they had come ;
to a good understanding, and my uncle 1
and I set our bauds to the agreement in
a formal manner. By the terms of this
my uncle was confirmed for life in the |
possession of the house and lands, and
bound himself to satisfy Rar.keillor as
to his intromissions, and to pay me two ,
clear thirds of the yearly income.
So the beggar in the ballad bad 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.
