Ay

,

and

such

a

thing

as

money

,

"

says

I.

"

But

for

us

that

have

neither

one

nor

other

,

they

might

just

as

well

not

have

been

invented

.

"

"

Ye

think

so

?

"

said

Alan

.

"

I

do

that

,

said

I.

David

says

he

,

"

ye

're

a

man

of

small

invention

and

less

faith

.

But

let

me

set

my

wits

upon

the

hone

,

and

if

I

cannae

beg

,

borrow

,

nor

yet

steal

a

boat

,

I

'll

make

one

!

"

"

I

think

I

see

ye

!

"

said

I.

"

And

what

's

more

than

all

that

:

if

ye

pass

a

bridge

,

it

can

tell

no

tales

;

but

if

we

pass

the

firth

,

there

's

the

boat

on

the

wrong

side

--

somebody

must

have

brought

it

--

the

country-side

will

all

be

in

a

bizz

--

-

"

"

Man

!

"

cried

Alan

,

"

if

I

make

a

boat

,

I

'll

make

a

body

to

take

it

back

again

!

So

deave

me

with

no

more

of

your

nonsense

,

but

walk

(

for

that

's

what

you

've

got

to

do

)

--

and

let

Alan

think

for

ye

.

All

night

,

then

,

we

walked

through

the

north

side

of

the

Carse

under

the

high

line

of

the

Ochil

mountains

;

and

by

Alloa

and

Clackmannan

and

Culross

,

all

of

which

we

avoided

:

and

about

ten

in

the

morning

,

mighty

hungry

and

tired

,

came

to

the

little

clachan

of

Limekilns

.

This

is

a

place

that

sits

near

in

by

the

water-side

,

and

looks

across

the

Hope

to

the

town

of

the

Queensferry

.

Smoke

went

up

from

both

of

these

,

and

from

other

villages

and

farms

upon

all

hands

.

The

fields

were

being

reaped

;

two

ships

lay

anchored

,

and

boats

were

coming

and

going

on

the

Hope

.

It

was

altogether

a

right

pleasant

sight

to

me

;

and

I

could

not

take

my

fill

of

gazing

at

these

comfortable

,

green

,

cultivated

hills

and

the

busy

people

both

of

the

field

and

sea

.

For

all

that

,

there

was

Mr.

Rankeillor

's

house

on

the

south

shore

,

where

I

had

no

doubt

wealth

awaited

me

;

and

here

was

I

upon

the

north

,

clad

in

poor

enough

attire

of

an

outlandish

fashion

,

with

three

silver

shillings

left

to

me

of

all

my

fortune

,

a

price

set

upon

my

head

,

and

an

outlawed

man

for

my

sole

company

.

"

O

,

Alan

!

"

said

I

,

"

to

think

of

it

!

Over

there

,

there

's

all

that

heart

could

want

waiting

me

;

and

the

birds

go

over

,

and

the

boats

go

over

--

all

that

please

can

go

,

but

just

me

only

!

O

,

man

,

but

it

's

a

heart-break

!
