Glossin left the room and the house too with secrecy and despatch; and it was probably well for him that he did so, since our friend Jock Jabos was already haranguing a numerous tribe of bare-legged boys on the propriety of pelting him off the estate. Some of the rooms were hastily put in order for the reception of the young lady, and of her father's dead body.
I have every reason to think the wound was accidental; certainly it was not premeditated. Against ingratitude and premeditated treachery, should you find any one guilty of them, my resentment will be as warm as your own. This was Hazlewood's answer. 'Another rebuff, thought Glossin; 'I must try him upon the other tack. 'Right, sir; very nobly said!
The worthy judge and the no less estimable captive looked at each other steadily for a long time without speaking. Glossin apparently recognised his prisoner, but seemed at a loss how to proceed with his investigation. At length he broke silence. 'Soh, Captain, this is you? you have been a stranger on this coast for some years. 'Stranger? replied the other.
'This seems to be rather a civil than a criminal question, said Glossin, rising; 'and as you cannot be ignorant, gentlemen, of the effect which this young person's pretended parentage may have on my patrimonial interest, I would rather beg leave to retire. 'No, my good sir, said Mr. Pleydell, 'we can by no means spare you. But why do you call this young man's claims pretended?
There remained Colonel Mannering, Charles Hazlewood, with his arm in a sling, and the Dominie, whose gaunt visage and wall-eyes assumed a most hostile aspect on recognising Glossin.

Sir Robert, who had rather begun to suspect that his plebeian neighbour had made a cat's paw of him, inclined his head stiffly, took snuff, and looked another way. 'Mr. Corsand, said Glossin to the other yokefellow of justice, 'your most humble servant.
'But, Hatteraick, my good friend, do but rise and speak to me, said Glossin. 'I will not! answered the savage, doggedly. 'You have caused all the mischief; you would not let Meg keep the boy; she would have returned him after he had forgot all. 'Why, Hatteraick, you are turned driveller!
'By heaven, said Bertram, 'it is the very ballad! I must learn these words from the girl. 'Confusion! thought Glossin; 'if I cannot put a stop to this all will be out. 'How do you mean, sir? said Bertram, turning short upon him, and not liking the tone which he made use of. 'Why, sir, as to that I believe your name is Brown? said Glossin. 'And what of that, sir?
