"Well, Andie, I see I'll have to speak out plain with you," I replied. And I told him so much as I thought needful of the facts. He heard me out with serious interest, and when I had done, seemed to consider a little with himself. "Shaws," said he at last, "I'll deal with the naked hand.
Andie, if that be your name, I will do my part and take my place beside the rest of you; and I ask you on the other hand to spare me your mockery, which I own I like ill." He grumbled a little at this speech, but seemed upon reflection to approve it.
"If I thoucht it was to do guid to ye, Shaws!" said he, staring at me over his spectacles. "It's to save another," said I, "and to redeem my word. What would be more good than that? Do ye no mind the scripture, Andie? What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world?" "Ay," said he, "that's grand for you. But where do I come in?
Our lives were in danger by these savages; being answerable for my safety, you chose the part to bring me from their neighbourhood and detain me the rest of the time on board your boat: and do you know, Andie," says I, with a smile, "I think it was very wisely chosen."
My own impression is that I shall find Levendale there. And as you're aware, Andie I know Levendale." He left them standing in the shadow of a projecting portico and going up to Levendale's front door, rang the bell. There was no light in any of the windows; all appeared to be in dead stillness in the house; somewhere, far off in the interior, he heard the bell tinkle.
Which of you hasn't any woman somewhere, or little brothers or sisters?" About twelve of the sixteen men standing on the deck of the Johnnie Duncan said "Me!" "Three-quarters of you, at least," said Clancy, "are damn liars. Over with the seine-boat and be careful nobody gets hurt." Somebody did get hurt, though. Andie Howe got his foot smashed and was helped below.
But what kind of a crime would this be that I had committed? or what kind of a process is this that I am fallen under? "I canna gainsay ye, Shaws. It looks unco underhand," says Andie. "And werenae the folk guid sound Whigs and true-blue Presbyterians I would hae seen them ayont Jordan and Jeroozlem or I would have set hand to it."
He had charge besides of the solan geese that roosted in the crags; and from these an extraordinary income is derived. To perform these several businesses, as well as to protect the geese from poachers, Andie had frequent occasion to sleep and pass days together on the crag; and we found the man at home there like a farmer in his steading.
To what terrors they endured upon the rock, where they were now deserted without the countenance of any civilised person or so much as the protection of a Bible, no limit can be set; nor had they any brandy left to be their consolation, for even in the haste and secrecy of our departure Andie had managed to remove it.
Already he was near in, and the boat scouring already Alan's face had flamed crimson with the excitement of his deliverance, when our friends in the bents, either in despair to see their prey escape them or with some hope of scaring Andie, raised suddenly a shrill cry of several voices.
