[David Balfour, Second Part by Robert Louis Stevenson]@TWC D-Link bookDavid Balfour, Second Part CHAPTER IV 16/21
Who saved it? I repeat; who saved the Protestant religion and the whole frame of our civil institutions? The late Lord President Culloden, for one; he played a man's part, and small thanks he got for it--even as I, whom you see before you, straining every nerve in the same service, look for no reward beyond the conscience of my duties done.
After the President, who else? You know the answer as well as I do; 'tis partly a scandal, and you glanced at it yourself, and I reproved you for it, when you first came in.
It was the Duke and the great clan of Campbell.
Now here is a Campbell foully murdered, and that in the King's service.
The Duke and I are Highlanders.
