You fear the Douglasses most, because they sit next to you.

But be it as you will.

You will not believe how wide our hills, and vales, and forests extend beyond the dusky barrier of yonder mountains, and you think all the world lies on the banks of the Tay.

But this good clerk shall see hills that could hide him were all the Douglasses on his quest--ay, and he shall see men enough also to make them glad to get once more southward of the Grampians.

And wherefore should you not go with the good man?
I will send a party to bring him in safety from Perth, and we will set up the old trade beyond Loch Tay--only no more cutting out of gloves for me.
