Edwin had brought letters from Ruthven and the young Earl of Bothwell, which none particularly narrated these ruinous events, to enforce every argument to Wallace for his return.
Edwin was familiar with every detail of the printer's work-book, the daybook, the combined book colloquially called `invoice and ledger, the `bought' ledger, and the shop cash-book.

Janet came into the room, and was surprised to see Edwin. She was in a state of extreme fatigue pale, with burning eyes, and hair that has lost the gracefulness of its curves. "So you know?" she said. Edwin nodded.
The workshop was in the languor of repose after toil which had officially commenced at 8 a.m. The perfection of Big James's attitude, an attitude symbolised by the letting down of his apron, helped to put Edwin at ease in the original and difficult circumstances. "Good evening, Mr Edwin.
