"
Shall
I
give
ye
the
rest
of
the
name
,
then
?
"
said
Alan
.
There
was
a
pause
;
and
then
,
"
I
'm
thinking
I
'll
better
let
ye
in
,
"
says
my
uncle
,
doubtfully
.
"
I
dare
say
that
,
"
said
Alan
;
"
but
the
point
is
,
Would
I
go
?
Now
I
will
tell
you
what
I
am
thinking
.
I
am
thinking
that
it
is
here
upon
this
doorstep
that
we
must
confer
upon
this
business
;
and
it
shall
be
here
or
nowhere
at
all
whatever
;
for
I
would
have
you
to
understand
that
I
am
as
stiffnecked
as
yoursel
'
,
and
a
gentleman
of
better
family
.

This
change
of
note
disconcerted
Ebenezer
;
he
was
a
little
while
digesting
it
,
and
then
says
he
,
"
Weel
,
weel
,
what
must
be
must
,
"
and
shut
the
window
.
But
it
took
him
a
long
time
to
get
down-stairs
,
and
a
still
longer
to
undo
the
fastenings
,
repenting
(
I
dare
say
)
and
taken
with
fresh
claps
of
fear
at
every
second
step
and
every
bolt
and
bar
.
At
last
,
however
,
we
heard
the
creak
of
the
hinges
,
and
it
seems
my
uncle
slipped
gingerly
out
and
(
seeing
that
Alan
had
stepped
back
a
pace
or
two
)
sate
him
down
on
the
top
doorstep
with
the
blunderbuss
ready
in
his
hands
.
"
And
,
now
"
says
he
,
"
mind
I
have
my
blunderbush
,
and
if
ye
take
a
step
nearer
ye
're
as
good
as
deid
.
"
"
And
a
very
civil
speech
,
"
says
Alan
,
"
to
be
sure
.
"
"
Na
,
"
says
my
uncle
,
"
but
this
is
no
a
very
chanty
kind
of
a
proceeding
,
and
I
'm
bound
to
be
prepared
.
And
now
that
we
understand
each
other
,
ye
'll
can
name
your
business
.

"
Why
,
"
says
Alan
,
"
you
that
are
a
man
of
so
much
understanding
,
will
doubtless
have
perceived
that
I
am
a
Hieland
gentleman
.
My
name
has
nae
business
in
my
story
;
but
the
county
of
my
friends
is
no
very
far
from
the
Isle
of
Mull
,
of
which
ye
will
have
heard
.
It
seems
there
was
a
ship
lost
in
those
parts
;
and
the
next
day
a
gentleman
of
my
family
was
seeking
wreck-wood
for
his
fire
along
the
sands
,
when
he
came
upon
a
lad
that
was
half
drowned
.
Well
,
he
brought
him
to
;
and
he
and
some
other
gentleman
took
and
clapped
him
in
an
auld
,
ruined
castle
,
where
from
that
day
to
this
he
has
been
a
great
expense
to
my
friends
.
My
friends
are
a
wee
wild-like
,
and
not
so
particular
about
the
law
as
some
that
I
could
name
;
and
finding
that
the
lad
owned
some
decent
folk
,
and
was
your
born
nephew
,
Mr.
Balfour
,
they
asked
me
to
give
ye
a
bit
call
and
confer
upon
the
matter
.
And
I
may
tell
ye
at
the
off-go
,
unless
we
can
agree
upon
some
terms
,
ye
are
little
likely
to
set
eyes
upon
him
.
For
my
friends
,
"
added
Alan
,
simply
,
"
are
no
very
well
off
.
"
My
uncle
cleared
his
throat
.
"
I
'm
no
very
caring
,
"
says
he
.
"
He
wasnae
a
good
lad
at
the
best
of
it
,
and
I
've
nae
call
to
interfere
.
"
