: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.
:55:00
Let us keep these matters simple.
:55:02
You are indebted to me.
On that we are agreed?
:55:05
We are, My Lord.
:55:07
Know you the Duke of Argyll?
:55:09
By his repute alone.
:55:14
My report is that Argyll is a Jacobite
:55:16
and would declare for James Stuart
should he seek to reclaim the throne.
:55:21
These are intelligences
unknown to me, My Lord.
:55:23
They are known to you now.
:55:25
I'm uncertain of Your Lordship's meaning.
:55:27
Oh, damn it, man!
:55:29
You and your clan are Jacobites
:55:31
bred to the bone.
:55:34
Argyll is nothing to you.
:55:36
I want your word against him.
:55:38
Give it, and we will come
to some reckoning on what you owe me.
:55:44
I can be of no assistance
to Your Lordship
:55:47
in this matter of the Duke of Argyll.
:55:50
You owe me.
:55:52
I owe you money. Nothing more.
:55:54
What you have asked is as below me
as it should be beneath Your Lordship.
