I'm asking where the water came from and what it was doing there, and why you were so certain that it wasn't a leak, McPhee?" "For good reason-for good an' sufficient reason." "Give it to me, then." "Weel, it's a reason that does not properly concern myself only. To be preceese, I'm of opinion that it was due, the watter, in part to an error o' judgment in another man. We can a' mak' mistakes."
