"Yes, in my favour," said Oldbuck: "Mr. Lovel, you shall be judge I have the learned Pinkerton on my side." "I, on mine, the indefatigable and erudite Chalmers." "Gordon comes into my opinion." "Sir Robert Sibbald holds mine." "Innes is with me!" vociferated Oldbuck. "Riston has no doubt!" shouted the Baronet.
"Not so," muttered Disbrowe. "If I fall, I will take care you do not recover. I will fight him to-morrow," he added aloud.
