Why
,
"
he
cries
,
"
if
this
be
not
a
farcical
adventure
!
After
all
that
I
said
,
I
have
forgot
my
glasses
!
"
At
that
,
of
course
,
I
understood
the
purpose
of
his
anecdote
,
and
knew
that
if
he
had
left
his
spectacles
at
home
,
it
had
been
done
on
purpose
,
so
that
he
might
have
the
benefit
of
Alan
's
help
without
the
awkwardness
of
recognising
him
.
And
indeed
it
was
well
thought
upon
;
for
now
(
suppose
things
to
go
the
very
worst
)
how
could
Rankeillor
swear
to
my
friend
's
identity
,
or
how
be
made
to
bear
damaging
evidence
against
myself
?
For
all
that
,
he
had
been
a
long
while
of
finding
out
his
want
,
and
had
spoken
to
and
recognised
a
good
few
persons
as
we
came
through
the
town
;
and
I
had
little
doubt
myself
that
he
saw
reasonably
well
.
As
soon
as
we
were
past
the
Hawes
(
where
I
recognised
the
landlord
smoking
his
pipe
in
the
door
,
and
was
amazed
to
see
him
look
no
older
)
Mr.
Rankeillor
changed
the
order
of
march
,
walking
behind
with
Torrance
and
sending
me
forward
in
the
manner
of
a
scout
.
I
went
up
the
hill
,
whistling
from
time
to
time
my
Gaelic
air
;
and
at
length
I
had
the
pleasure
to
hear
it
answered
and
to
see
Alan
rise
from
behind
a
bush
.
He
was
somewhat
dashed
in
spirits
,
having
passed
a
long
day
alone
skulking
in
the
county
,
and
made
but
a
poor
meal
in
an
alehouse
near
Dundas
.
But
at
the
mere
sight
of
my
clothes
,
he
began
to
brighten
up
;
and
as
soon
as
I
had
told
him
in
what
a
forward
state
our
matters
were
and
the
part
I
looked
to
him
to
play
in
what
remained
,
he
sprang
into
a
new
man
.
"
And
that
is
a
very
good
notion
of
yours
,
"
says
he
;
"
and
I
dare
to
say
that
you
could
lay
your
hands
upon
no
better
man
to
put
it
through
than
Alan
Breck
.
It
is
not
a
thing
(
mark
ye
)
that
any
one
could
do
,
but
takes
a
gentleman
of
penetration
.
But
it
sticks
in
my
head
your
lawyer-man
will
be
somewhat
wearying
to
see
me
,
"
says
Alan
.
Accordingly
I
cried
and
waved
on
Mr.
Rankeillor
,
who
came
up
alone
and
was
presented
to
my
friend
,
Mr.
Thomson
.
"
Mr.
Thomson
,
I
am
pleased
to
meet
you
,
"
said
he
.
"
But
I
have
forgotten
my
glasses
;
and
our
friend
,
Mr.
David
here
"
(
clapping
me
on
the
shoulder
)
,
"
will
tell
you
that
I
am
little
better
than
blind
,
and
that
you
must
not
be
surprised
if
I
pass
you
by
to-morrow
.
"
This
he
said
,
thinking
that
Alan
would
be
pleased
;
but
the
Highlandman
's
vanity
was
ready
to
startle
at
a
less
matter
than
that
.
"
Why
,
sir
,
"
says
he
,
stiffly
,
"
I
would
say
it
mattered
the
less
as
we
are
met
here
for
a
particular
end
,
to
see
justice
done
to
Mr.
Balfour
;
and
by
what
I
can
see
,
not
very
likely
to
have
much
else
in
common
.
But
I
accept
your
apology
,
which
was
a
very
proper
one
to
make
.
"
"
And
that
is
more
than
I
could
look
for
,
Mr.
Thomson
,
"
said
Rankeillor
,
heartily
.
"
And
now
as
you
and
I
are
the
chief
actors
in
this
enterprise
,
I
think
we
should
come
into
a
nice
agreement
;
to
which
end
,
I
propose
that
you
should
lend
me
your
arm
,
for
(
what
with
the
dusk
and
the
want
of
my
glasses
)
I
am
not
very
clear
as
to
the
path
;
and
as
for
you
,
Mr.
David
,
you
will
find
Torrance
a
pleasant
kind
of
body
to
speak
with
Only
let
me
remind
you
,
it
's
quite
needless
he
should
hear
more
of
your
adventures
or
those
of
--
ahem
--
Mr.
Thomson
.
