They
too
entered
,
and
Robb
followed
,
closing
the
door
behind
him
,
but
leaving
the
great
key
in
the
lock
.
Amos
Ritchie
arrived
,
moodily
sauntering
through
the
gate
.
He
had
been
unable
to
face
the
kirkyard
crowd
,
knowing
that
he
would
hear
words
spoken
which
might
crack
his
brittle
temper
.
He
reached
the
door
and
was
about
to
enter
,
when
the
sound
of
furious
hoofs
on
the
road
made
him
pause
.
The
rider
hitched
his
bridle
to
the
gate
-
post
and
strode
up
the
path
,
and
Amos
saw
that
it
was
Reiverslaw
.
"
Am
I
ower

What
’
s
asteer
in
the
kirk
?
"
"
Ye
’
re
ower
late
,
"
said
Amos
bitterly
.
"
Yestreen
the
minister
was
condemned
and
excommunicat
by
the
Presbytery
at
Kirk
Aller
,
and
Chasehope
was
affirmed
a
saunt
for
want
o
’
you
to
testify
against
him
.
This
day
Muirhead
and
Proudfoot
are
preachin
’
the
kirk
empty
.
"
"
God
be
merciful
to
me
,
"
Reiverslaw
groaned
.
"
I
only
got
the
word
last
nicht
,
and
I
’
ve
left
weary
beasts
on
the
road
atween
here
and
Langholm
.
.
.
.
Where
is
the
minister
?
Where
is
Mr
.
Sempill
?
"
"
The
Lord
kens
.
He
’
s
no
in
the
manse
,
for
I
was
there
at
skreigh
o
’
day
,
and
he
hasna
been
seen
since
he
left
Kirk
Aller
.
.
.
.
What
does
it
matter
?
The
puir
lad
has
his
name
blastit
,
and
Woodilee
loses
the
best
man
that
ever
walked
its
roads
.
.
.
.
Are
ye
for
in
?
"
"
I
’
m
for
in
,
"
said
Reiverslaw
grimly
.
"
If
I
canna
help
the
minister
I
can
mishandle
some
that
hae
brocht
him
doun
.
I
’
m
thinkin
’
Chasehope
will
hae
sair
bones
or
nicht
.
"
The
two
slipped
through
the
door
and
stood
in
the
dusk
at
the
extreme
back
of
the
crowded
kirk
.
The
first
exercises
having
been
concluded
,
Mr
.
Muirhead
was
reading
from
the
pulpit
the
finding
of
the
Presbytery
.
The
misdeeds
of
the
minister
were
set
forth
seriatim
with
the
crooked
verbosity
of
a
legal
document
.
Then
came
the
pith
:
"
Wherefore
the
Presbytery
of
Aller
,
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
the
sole
King
and
Head
of
the
Church
,
and
by
the
power
committed
by
Him
to
them
,
did
,
and
hereby
do
,
summarily
excommunicate
David
Sempill
,
at
present
residing
in
the
parish
of
Woodilee
,
delivering
him
over
to
Satan
for
the
destruction
of
the
flesh
that
the
spirit
may
be
saved
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Presbytery
did
,
and
hereby
do
,
enjoin
all
the
faithful
to
shun
all
dealings
with
him
,
as
they
would
not
be
found
to
harden
him
in
his
sins
,
and
so
to
partake
with
him
in
his
judgments
.
