Nicholas
cried
out
.
"
Auld
Wat
o
’
the
Roodfoot
’
s
grandson
.
I
heard
of
your
coming
,
sir
,
and
indeed
I
’
m
your
chief
heritor
.
I
’
ll
nave
your
hand
on
that
.
Man
,
I
kenned
your
gudesire
well
,
and
many
a
pouchful
of
groats
I
had
from
him
when
I
was
a
laddie
.
You
’
re
back
among
kenned
folk
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
and
I
wish
you
a
long
life
in
Woodilee
.
"
The
troopers
did
not
seem
to
share
their
host
’
s
geniality
.
Quick
glances
passed
between
them
,
and
the
tall
man
shifted
his
seat
so
that
he
came
between
David
and
the
groom
.
This
latter
had
taken
no
part
in
the
conversation
,
indeed
he
had
not
spoken
a
word
,
but
after
his
meal
was
finished
had
sat
with
his
head
on
his
breast
as
if
sunk
in
meditation
.
Now
he
raised
his
eyes
to
David
,
and
it
was
he
who
spoke
.
"
I
am
not
less
loyal
to
the
Kirk
of
Scotland
than
you
,
Mr
.
Sempill
.
You
are
a
placed
minister
,
and
I
am
a
humble
elder
of
that
Kirk
.
"
"
In
what
parish
?
"
David
asked
eagerly
.
"
In
my
native
parish
benorth
of
Forth
.
"
The
man
’
s
dress
and
station
were
forgotten
by
David
when
he
looked
at
his
face
.
Now
that
he
saw
clearly
in
the
candle
-
light
,
it
was
not
the
face
of
a
common
groom
.
Every
feature
spoke
of
race
,
the
firm
mouth
of
command
,
the
brooding
grey
eyes
of
thought
.
The
voice
was
sweet
and
musical
,
and
the
man
’
s
whole
air
had
a
gentle
but
imperious
courtesy
.
The
movement
of
the
tall
trooper
,
while
it
had
separated
David
from
the
groom
,
had
brought
the
latter
full
into
the
view
of
Nicholas
Hawkshaw
.
Then
a
strange
thing
happened
.
The
host
,
after
a
long
stare
,
during
which
amazement
and
recognition
woke
in
his
eyes
,
half
rose
from
his
seat
and
seemed
on
the
verge
of
speaking
.
His
gaze
was
fixed
on
the
groom
,
and
David
read
in
it
something
at
once
deferential
and
exulting
.
Then
the
toe
of
the
lame
man
’
s
boot
came
down
on
his
shin
,
and
the
lame
man
’
s
hand
was
laid
on
his
arm
.
The
lame
man
,
too
,
said
something
in
a
tongue
which
David
could
not
understand
.
Nicholas
subsided
in
his
chair
,
but
his
face
remained
both
puzzled
and
excited
.
The
groom
spoke
again
.
