"Has Ebenezer gotten a son?" "No, ma'am," said I. "I am a son of Alexander's. It's I that am the Laird of Shaws." "Ye'll find your work cut out for ye to establish that," quoth she. "I perceive you know my uncle," said I; "and I daresay you may be the better pleased to hear that business is arranged." "And what brings ye here after Miss Drummond?" she pursued.
Stormont was quiet; dangerously quiet Thirlwell thought, because it was obvious that Drummond had led him on until he learned his plans.
