"
Dear
doctor
!
"
cries
he
,
rubbing
his
brow
.
"
Dear
doctor
!
No
,
Mr.
David
,
I
am
afraid
your
scheme
is
inadmissible
.
I
say
nothing
against
your
friend
,
Mr.
Thomson
:
I
know
nothing
against
him
;
and
if
I
did
--
mark
this
,
Mr.
David
!
--
it
would
be
my
duty
to
lay
hands
on
him
.
Now
I
put
it
to
you
:
is
it
wise
to
meet
?
He
may
have
matters
to
his
charge
.
He
may
not
have
told
you
all
.
His
name
may
not
be
even
Thomson
!
"
cries
the
lawyer
,
twinkling
;
"
for
some
of
these
fellows
will
pick
up
names
by
the
roadside
as
another
would
gather
haws
.
"
"
You
must
be
the
judge
,
sir
,
"
said
I.
But
it
was
clear
my
plan
had
taken
hold
upon
his
fancy
,
for
he
kept
musing
to
himself
till
we
were
called
to
dinner
and
the
company
of
Mrs.
Rankeillor
;
and
that
lady
had
scarce
left
us
again
to
ourselves
and
a
bottle
of
wine
,
ere
he
was
back
harping
on
my
proposal
.
When
and
where
was
I
to
meet
my
friend
Mr.
Thomson
;
was
I
sure
of
Mr.
T.
'
s
discretion
;
supposing
we
could
catch
the
old
fox
tripping
,
would
I
consent
to
such
and
such
a
term
of
an
agreement
--
these
and
the
like
questions
he
kept
asking
at
long
intervals
,
while
he
thoughtfully
rolled
his
wine
upon
his
tongue
.
When
I
had
answered
all
of
them
,
seemingly
to
his
contentment
,
he
fell
into
a
still
deeper
muse
,
even
the
claret
being
now
forgotten
.
Then
he
got
a
sheet
of
paper
and
a
pencil
,
and
set
to
work
writing
and
weighing
every
word
;
and
at
last
touched
a
bell
and
had
his
clerk
into
the
chamber
.
"
Torrance
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
must
have
this
written
out
fair
against
to-night
;
and
when
it
is
done
,
you
will
be
so
kind
as
put
on
your
hat
and
be
ready
to
come
along
with
this
gentleman
and
me
,
for
you
will
probably
be
wanted
as
a
witness
.
"
"
What
,
sir
,
"
cried
I
,
as
soon
as
the
clerk
was
gone
,
"
are
you
to
venture
it
?
"
"
Why
,
so
it
would
appear
,
"
says
he
,
filling
his
glass
.
"
But
let
us
speak
no
more
of
business
.
The
very
sight
of
Torrance
brings
in
my
head
a
little
droll
matter
of
some
years
ago
,
when
I
had
made
a
tryst
with
the
poor
oaf
at
the
cross
of
Edinburgh
.
Each
had
gone
his
proper
errand
;
and
when
it
came
four
o'clock
,
Torrance
had
been
taking
a
glass
and
did
not
know
his
master
,
and
I
,
who
had
forgot
my
spectacles
,
was
so
blind
without
them
,
that
I
give
you
my
word
I
did
not
know
my
own
clerk
.
"
And
thereupon
he
laughed
heartily
.
I
said
it
was
an
odd
chance
,
and
smiled
out
of
politeness
;
but
what
held
me
all
the
afternoon
in
wonder
,
he
kept
returning
and
dwelling
on
this
story
,
and
telling
it
again
with
fresh
details
and
laughter
;
so
that
I
began
at
last
to
be
quite
put
out
of
countenance
and
feel
ashamed
for
my
friend
's
folly
.
Towards
the
time
I
had
appointed
with
Alan
,
we
set
out
from
the
house
,
Mr.
Rankeillor
and
I
arm
in
arm
,
and
Torrance
following
behind
with
the
deed
in
his
pocket
and
a
covered
basket
in
his
hand
.
All
through
the
town
,
the
lawyer
was
bowing
right
and
left
,
and
continually
being
button-holed
by
gentlemen
on
matters
of
burgh
or
private
business
;
and
I
could
see
he
was
one
greatly
looked
up
to
in
the
county
.
At
last
we
were
clear
of
the
houses
,
and
began
to
go
along
the
side
of
the
haven
and
towards
the
Hawes
Inn
and
the
Ferry
pier
,
the
scene
of
my
misfortune
.
I
could
not
look
upon
the
place
without
emotion
,
recalling
how
many
that
had
been
there
with
me
that
day
were
now
no
more
:
Ransome
taken
,
I
could
hope
,
from
the
evil
to
come
;
Shuan
passed
where
I
dared
not
follow
him
;
and
the
poor
souls
that
had
gone
down
with
the
brig
in
her
last
plunge
.
All
these
,
and
the
brig
herself
,
I
had
outlived
;
and
come
through
these
hardships
and
fearful
perils
without
scath
.
My
only
thought
should
have
been
of
gratitude
;
and
yet
I
could
not
behold
the
place
without
sorrow
for
others
and
a
chill
of
recollected
fear
.
I
was
so
thinking
when
,
upon
a
sudden
,
Mr.
Rankeillor
cried
out
,
clapped
his
hand
to
his
pockets
,
and
began
to
laugh
.
