Here I am, and a bank-porter at my tail. And remember I have had the hospitality of your own country of Balquhidder." "It was not one of my people gave it," said she.

Besides which, I have offered myself to be your friend, and you have been so forgetful that you did not refuse me in the proper time."
Here, it is the tale of Begbie the bank-porter, stricken to the heart at a blow and left in his blood within a step or two of the crowded High Street. There, people hush their voices over Burke and Hare; over drugs and violated graves, and the resurrection-men smothering their victims with their knees.
