It
was
the
counsel
which
Isobel
had
given
,
and
David
’
s
heart
sank
.
What
was
it
in
Woodilee
which
made
honest
men
silent
and
craven
in
the
face
of
proved
iniquity
?
"
Man
,
Amos
,
"
he
cried
,
"
I
never
thought
to
get
a
coward
’
s
counsel
from
you
.
Am
I
to
reckon
you
among
my
enemies
,
and
among
God
’
s
enemies
?
I
tell
you
I
see
my
duty
as
clear
before
me
as
the
Hill
of
Deer
.
I
must
unveil
this
wickedness
and
blast
its
practisers
into
penitence
or
I
fail
in
my
first
duty
as
the
minister
of
this
parish
.
And
from
you
,
my
friend
,
I
get
only
silence
and
contumacy
,
and
what
is
worse
,
the
advice
of
a
Laodicean
.
Alas
!
that
you
who
have
fought
stoutly
in
your
country
’
s
battles
should
be
such
a
poor
soldier
in
God
’
s
battles
.
"
There
was
no
answer
.
The
two
had
resumed
their
walk
,
and
the
smith
strode
at
a
pace
which
was
almost
a
run
,
his
eyes
steadily
averted
from
his
companion
.
"
This
is
my
last
word
to
you
,
Amos
,
"
said
David
,
as
they
reached
the
turn
where
the
loan
ran
to
the
manse
.
"
Wednesday
-
-
the
day
after
the
morn
-
-
is
the
second
Beltane
,
and
I
fear
that
that
night
there
will
be
further
evil
in
the
Wood
.
I
will
go
there
and
outface
the
Devil
,
but
the
flesh
is
weak
,
and
I
am
one
against
many
,
and
I
would
fain
have
a
friend
.
Will
you
not
bear
me
company
?
"
The
smith
stopped
again
.
"
Deil
hae
me
if
I
gang
near
the
Wud
!
Na
,
na
,
I
’
ll
no
pit
my
heid
intil
ony
sic
wull
-
cat
’
s
hole
.
And
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
be
you
guidit
by
an
aulder
man
and
bide
at
hame
.
"
"
You
are
afraid
?
"
"
Ay
.
I
’
m
feared
-
-
but
mair
for
you
than
for
mysel
’
.
"
"
You
’
re
like
the
men
of
Israel
that
failed
Gideon
at
the
waterside
,
"
David
cried
angrily
as
he
turned
away
.
The
next
two
days
were
spent
by
the
minister
in
a
strange
restlessness
.
He
walked
each
afternoon
some
violent
miles
on
the
hilltops
,
but
for
the
rest
he
stayed
in
the
manse
,
principally
in
his
study
.
Isobel
believed
him
to
be
at
prayer
,
and
indeed
he
prayed
long
and
fervently
,
but
he
was
also
busied
about
other
things
.
Among
his
belongings
was
a
small
-
sword
,
for
he
had
won
some
skill
of
fence
in
Edinburgh
,
and
this
he
had
out
and
saw
to
its
point
and
edge
.
Also
he
read
much
in
books
which
were
not
divinity
,
for
he
felt
himself
a
soldier
,
and
would
brace
his
spirit
with
martial
tales
.
