:53:00
Because I know him.
I know him more than half his life.
:53:04
But was he ever handed £1,000 before?
:53:06
He was handed a hundred times more.
:53:08
He was given trust, and he repaid in kind.
:53:11
Why do you not believe me?
:53:13
All right, Rob.
:53:15
He did not steal from you.
:53:17
But he has gone, the money's gone,
:53:19
and Montrose will not care
if you believe one thing or the other.
:53:23
- That's another matter.
- No. That's the only matter now.
:53:26
For all our sakes, Robert,
you must take off your high hat,
:53:30
and make what terms you can.
:53:32
Else our home is lost
and ourselves His Lordship's tenants.
:54:09
Ah, here comes the bold Highlander.
:54:12
No arse in his breeks
:54:15
but too proud to tug his forelock.
:54:17
No doubt the rogue seeks
to blame his servant
:54:20
for I hear there
is no word of the man.
:54:24
I see you're back in favour
with your tailor, Archibald.
:54:28
He must be a happy man.
:54:30
So, McGregor, how is it with you?
:54:32
As it was, My Lord.
:54:33
There is still no word of McDonald
or Your Lordship's money.
:54:37
What are we to do, then?
:54:38
If Your Lordship would contract with me
for another sum,
:54:41
I would turn over
all profit and so repay my debt.
:54:44
I have but lost £1,000.
You ask me to risk another?
:54:47
My Lord, the money was stolen from me
and from you.
:54:50
I am no part of your incompetence.
:54:52
You signed a paper.
:54:54
And I will honour it.
:54:56
Oh, ply me not with your honour, man.
