Balfour of Pilrig, to Stewart the Writer that was Appin's agent, and to William Grant Esquire of Prestongrange, Lord Advocate of Scotland. Mr. But the rest were in a different case. Not only was the visit to Appin's agent, in the midst of the cry about the Appin murder, dangerous in itself, but it was highly inconsistent with the other.
I could see that even Prestongrange admired, and could not withhold his lips from smiling when he considered her behaviour. As for Miss Grant, for all her ill habit of mockery, her admiration shone out plain. A kind of a heat came on me. "I am not your lordship's daughter. . . " I began. "That I know of!" he put in, smiling. "I speak like a fool," said I; "or rather I began wrong.
"Give you a good-morning, sir," said I. "And a good-morning to you, sir," said he. "You bide tryst with Prestongrange?" I asked. "I do, sir, and I pray your business with that gentleman be more agreeable than mine," was his reply. "I hope at least that yours will be brief, for I suppose you pass before me," said I. "All pass before me," he said, with a shrug and a gesture upward of the open hands.
As for your story, Prestongrange is a Whig like yoursel', so I'll say the less of him; and, dod! I believe he was the best friend ye had, if ye could only trust him. But Symon Fraser and James More are my ain kind of cattle, and I'll give them the name that they deserve.

I was well received by the four ladies, who were now in company together, and must give the news of Prestongrange and what word went in the west country, at the most inordinate length and with great weariness to myself; while all the time that young lady, with whom I so much desired to be alone again, observed me quizzically and seemed to find pleasure in the sight of my impatience.
"It is a remarkable circumstance how our affairs appear to intermingle," he continued. "I am owing you an apology for an unfortunate intrusion upon yours, which I suffered myself to be entrapped into by my confidence in that false-face, Prestongrange; I think shame to own to you that I was ever trusting to a lawyer." He shrugged his shoulders with a very French air.
Simon was to be taken in upon some composition." Prestongrange smiled. "These are our friends!" said he. "And what were your reasons for dissenting, Mr. David?" I told them without concealment, expressing, however, with more force and volume those which regarded Prestongrange himself. "You do me no more than justice," said he.
