Then, as though words of denial were of no use, he took to the more cowardly argument of violence, and, hissing the words, "Ye auld liar, take that," raised his hand, and struck a blow at Colin Lothian's face. But Jack Paterson knocked up the lad's arm, and caught Tom round the waist, dragging him forcibly away. "What! ye young scamp, would ye strike an auld man?" he said.
Drever has found one witness whose evidence is of the greatest importance, and I will have that witness called. "Macfarlane, bring in Thora Kinlay. "Ericson, my lad, sit down here with Mr. Drever."

It happened, however, shortly after Lord Lothian's departure that his heir had occasion to wish to enter this locked room, and he sent to demand the key from Ringan. The old man, naturally and rightly, refused to depart from the instructions he had received when the key was delivered to him, and the reply he sent to the young lord may probably have been somewhat blunt and uncompromising.

"It's a lie ye tell!" furiously exclaimed Tom Kinlay, suddenly revealing himself, and shaking his fist in Lothian's face. "It's a lie ye tell, ye drivelling auld idiot! And if ye canna prove what ye say, maybe ye'll deny it?" Colin Lothian stood up and said coolly: "Now just hold yer tongue, Kinlay. I ken mair then I hae said. And as to denyin' it, that I willna do.
