I
will
begin
the
story
of
my
adventures
with
a
certain
morning
early
in
the
month
of
June
,
the
year
of
grace
1751
,
when
I
took
the
key
for
the
last
time
out
of
the
door
of
my
father
's
house
.
The
sun
began
to
shine
upon
the
summit
of
the
hills
as
I
went
down
the
road
;
and
by
the
time
I
had
come
as
far
as
the
manse
,
the
blackbirds
were
whistling
in
the
garden
lilacs
,
and
the
mist
that
hung
around
the
valley
in
the
time
of
the
dawn
was
beginning
to
arise
and
die
away
.
Mr.
Campbell
,
the
minister
of
Essendean
,
was
waiting
for
me
by
the
garden
gate
,
good
man
!
He
asked
me
if
I
had
breakfasted
;
and
hearing
that
I
lacked
for
nothing
,
he
took
my
hand
in
both
of
his
and
clapped
it
kindly
under
his
arm
.
"
Well
,
Davie
,
lad
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
will
go
with
you
as
far
as
the
ford
,
to
set
you
on
the
way
.
"
And
we
began
to
walk
forward
in
silence
.
"
Are
ye
sorry
to
leave
Essendean
?
"
said
he
,
after
awhile
.
"
Why
,
sir
,
"
said
I
,
"
if
I
knew
where
I
was
going
,
or
what
was
likely
to
become
of
me
,
I
would
tell
you
candidly
.
Essendean
is
a
good
place
indeed
,
and
I
have
been
very
happy
there
;
but
then
I
have
never
been
anywhere
else
.
My
father
and
mother
,
since
they
are
both
dead
,
I
shall
be
no
nearer
to
in
Essendean
than
in
the
Kingdom
of
Hungary
,
and
,
to
speak
truth
,
if
I
thought
I
had
a
chance
to
better
myself
where
I
was
going
I
would
go
with
a
good
will
.
"
"
Ay
?
"
said
Mr.
Campbell
.
"
Very
well
,
Davie
.
Then
it
behoves
me
to
tell
your
fortune
;
or
so
far
as
I
may
.
When
your
mother
was
gone
,
and
your
father
(
the
worthy
,
Christian
man
)
began
to
sicken
for
his
end
,
he
gave
me
in
charge
a
certain
letter
,
which
he
said
was
your
inheritance
.
'
So
soon
,
'
says
he
,
'
as
I
am
gone
,
and
the
house
is
redd
up
and
the
gear
disposed
of
'
(
all
which
,
Davie
,
hath
been
done
)
,
'
give
my
boy
this
letter
into
his
hand
,
and
start
him
off
to
the
house
of
Shaws
,
not
far
from
Cramond
.
That
is
the
place
I
came
from
,
'
he
said
,
'
and
it
's
where
it
befits
that
my
boy
should
return
.
He
is
a
steady
lad
,
'
your
father
said
,
'
and
a
canny
goer
;
and
I
doubt
not
he
will
come
safe
,
and
be
well
lived
where
he
goes
.
"'
"
The
house
of
Shaws
!
"
I
cried
.
"
What
had
my
poor
father
to
do
with
the
house
of
Shaws
?
"
"
Nay
,
"
said
Mr.
Campbell
,
"
who
can
tell
that
for
a
surety
?
But
the
name
of
that
family
,
Davie
,
boy
,
is
the
name
you
bear
--
Balfours
of
Shaws
:
an
ancient
,
honest
,
reputable
house
,
peradventure
in
these
latter
days
decayed
.
Your
father
,
too
,
was
a
man
of
learning
as
befitted
his
position
;
no
man
more
plausibly
conducted
school
;
nor
had
he
the
manner
or
the
speech
of
a
common
dominie
;
but
(
as
ye
will
yourself
remember
)
I
took
aye
a
pleasure
to
have
him
to
the
manse
to
meet
the
gentry
;
and
those
of
my
own
house
,
Campbell
of
Kilrennet
,
Campbell
of
Dunswire
,
Campbell
of
Minch
,
and
others
,
all
well-kenned
gentlemen
,
had
pleasure
in
his
society
.
Lastly
,
to
put
all
the
elements
of
this
affair
before
you
,
here
is
the
testamentary
letter
itself
,
superscrived
by
the
own
hand
of
our
departed
brother
.
