:38:01
but you have a rare contempt in you.
:38:04
I gave you no leave
to call me familiar.
:38:07
Could I pay for the privilege?
:38:09
At a fair price.
:38:11
What are you gibbering about?
:38:13
Money, Archie. Money. What else?
:38:18
How much money?
:38:22
Let's talk inside over a dram.
:38:25
It's chill on the stairs.
:38:29
Say what you have to say.
:38:30
I am engaged within.
:38:33
Ah, you've Betty on her back.
:38:36
How much money?
:38:38
£1,000.
:38:40
£1,000.
What does £1,000 look like?
:38:44
Will we have enough ponies to carry it?
:38:46
Not coin. A note of credit
:38:49
drawn on His Lordship.
:38:50
- What interest, Rob?
- One fifth.
:38:52
And he gets £200 profit for three months?
:38:55
Aye. That's the price of cash,
:38:57
and we must plan the matter
to the last penny.
:39:00
When Alan returns,
he'll take three of you,
:39:02
and you'll go to Creiff.
:39:04
There you'll bargain with the drovers
:39:05
and have the herd assembled
when I come with our kit for the drive.
:39:09
How big a herd?
:39:10
300. Maybe more.
:39:11
And whatever we can acquire
along the way.
:39:14
No harm if a dozen or more stick.
:39:16
We'll drive them into Carlisle like an army.
:39:19
So, let's have all hands to it.
:39:21
We'll stay warm this winter,
within and without.
:39:24
To celebrate, we'll hold a gathering
:39:26
and drink to our success!
:39:33
Right, McKinness.
:39:35
That's two shillings still owing.
:39:41
- Next.
- Colqhoun.
:39:44
Colqhoun, what have you got? A rabbit?
:39:46
You're still a week behind, Colqhoun.
:39:55
Must I wait all day
for my note, Killearn?
:39:58
Patience, McGregor's man.
