The
grave
countenances
around
him
seemed
shot
with
fear
and
confusion
:
almost
it
seemed
he
could
look
into
their
hearts
and
see
terrors
and
jealousies
writhing
like
coils
of
worms
.
.
.
.
He
rubbed
his
eyes
and
forced
himself
to
attention
.
The
Moderator
was
speaking
of
the
charge
against
Chasehope
and
others
anent
the
Wood
.
"
We
have
your
written
libel
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
"
he
said
.
"
It
is
your
right
to
implement
it
by
the
calling
of
witnesses
.
Have
you
them
here
?
"
"
My
principal
witness
,
Andrew
Shillinglaw
in
Reiverslaw
,
has
left
the
parish
because
of
the
pest
and
is
not
yet
returned
.
Without
him
I
can
do
nothing
.
"
David
’
s
voice
,
to
his
own
surprise
,
came
out
full
and
clear
.
"
Do
you
seek
a
postponement
?
"
David
shook
his
head
.
"
What
boots
it
?
The
Lord
will
judge
the
wickedness
in
His
own
time
and
in
His
own
way
.
But
I
would
ask
that
the
matter
be
put
to
him
whom
I
have
accused
as
principal
,
and
that
he
deny
or
affirm
it
on
his
solemn
oath
.
"
"
You
hear
that
,
Ephraim
,
"
said
Mr
.
Muirhead
.
"
I
’
m
loth
to
put
such
a
task
on
one
of
your
noted
godly
walk
,
but
it
would
maybe
conduce
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
Court
if
you
would
formally
and
finally
give
these
monstrous
charges
a
solemn
denial
.
"
Chasehope
rose
and
called
his
Maker
to
witness
that
there
was
no
word
of
truth
in
the
accusation
.
His
voice
was
steady
,
his
expression
of
a
decent
gravity
.
He
looked
towards
David
,
and
there
was
not
a
quiver
in
the
large
placidity
of
his
face
.
"
The
Court
is
content
,
"
said
Mr
.
Muirhead
.
"
Have
you
anything
to
add
,
Mr
.
Sempill
?
"
"
The
Lord
will
yet
judge
between
us
,
"
said
David
.
"
That
matter
can
therefore
be
dismissed
,
"
said
the
Moderator
,
in
a
voice
in
which
solemnity
wrestled
with
satisfaction
.
"
We
proceed
to
the
charges
against
our
unhappy
brother
.
"
