He had no leisure for his own affairs, saving always that background consideration that, if the Stewarts really got back the crown, Ian Rullock was on the road to power and wealth. This consideration was not articulate, but diffused. It interfered not at all with the foreground activities and hard planning no more than did the fine Highland air. It only spurred him as did the winy air.
Do you go up and down alone?" "By my lee-lane when Gilian's not here. She's in Aberdeen now, where live our mother's folk." "I have not seen you for years." "I mind the last time. Your mother lay ill. One evening at sunset Mr. Ian Rullock and you came to White Farm." "It must have been after sunset. It must have been dark." "Back of that you and he came from Edinburgh one time.
Wenlock having received his instructions, accordingly went on board the Amity, which vessel, having been thoroughly repaired, was engaged for the purpose. "But I cannot part from you," exclaimed old Bill Rullock. "I did not think to go to sea again, but if the captain will let me work my passage there and back, I will go along with you."
I want London!" "That's Babylon. It's your own country. You're evening it with England!" "No, I'm not. But you can't deny that it's poor." "There's one of its sons, named Touris, that is not poor!" Rullock rose upon one knee. "The wise man gets rich and the fool stays poor. Do you want to be friends or do you want to fight?" Alexander clasped his hands behind his head and lay back upon the earth.
"Chester, an' it please thee," answered Pearson. "It is my native city, and the affection I bear for it will never be effaced. Yet I might transfer some slight portion to this town." "Chester, therefore, let it be henceforth called," answered Penn. While the governor was stopping at the house of Mr Wade, Wenlock went to visit old Rullock, and to see his own humble abode.
The Stewart hope was sunk in the sea of dead hopes. Cumberland, with for the time and place a great force and with an ugly fury, hunted all who had been in arms against King George. Ian Rullock couched high upon a mountain-side, in a shelter of stone and felled tree built in an angle of crag, screened by a growth of birch and oak, made long ago against emergencies.
After all, and all the time, Glenfernie's notion of friendship was a sieve. The notion that he had held up as though it were the North Star! The world, Ian Rullock, could not be so contemned.... He felt with heat and pain the truth of that. It was a wrong that Glenfernie should not understand!
Head, shoulders, a supple figure, not so tall nor so largely made as was Glenfernie's heir, all came upon the purple hilltop. Alexander raised himself from his couch in the heather. "Good day!" said the new-comer. "Good day!" The youth stood beside him. "I am Ian Rullock." "I am Alexander Jardine." "Of Glenfernie?" "Aye, you've got it." "Then we're the neighbors that are to be friends."
In the general manifoldness, out of the by no means yet huge store of honey Ian Rullock, for mere first rung of his fortune's ladder, received the personally given thanks of his Prince and a captaincy in the none too rapidly growing army.
As Rullock, indeed, was the only witness against him, and as even the other accused persons did not criminate him, the captain came to the determination of proceeding no further in the business. He was, therefore, set at liberty, and landed with the other passengers. His companions were also liberated, as they had committed no overt act, and there was no evidence against them.
