"Because," replied the prisoner, "I presume you are, from education, taught to understand the rights upon which you seem disposed to trample; and I am willing you should be aware there are yet Scotsmen who can assert the liberties of Scotland." "And these supposed rights you would vindicate with your sword, I presume?" said Colonel Grahame.
I leave therefore this your doubt to be resolved at the day of judgment, and in the mean time trample upon your harsh and unchristian surmises.

It was his own secret, he had never betrayed himself, and so help his God, he would trample it down till he gained the mastery.
