1:42:00
but it is not part of mine
to intrude myself,

1:42:03
sensible as I am to your condition.
1:42:06
It's a hard thought,
1:42:08
but men make the quarrels,
1:42:10
and women and weans bear them.
1:42:12
Your Grace, Robert finds himself
in this condition

1:42:15
for taking "your" part.
1:42:18
My part?
1:42:19
What cause had he to do that
1:42:21
and in what manner?
1:42:24
He refused to condemn you
by false witness

1:42:27
when the Marquis asked him
to say you were a Jacobite

1:42:31
to injure your name at Court.
1:42:33
Montrose asked this of him?
1:42:35
In remission of this debt.
1:42:38
But Robert refused.
1:42:42
I did not know
your husband bore me such good will.

1:42:45
Indeed, I think he favours you
1:42:47
no more than any great man.
1:42:50
"As wolves at lambing"
1:42:52
is his word for you all.
1:42:55
It was not done for Your Grace
1:42:58
but for his own honour,
1:43:00
which he holds dearer
than myself or his sons,

1:43:04
his clan or kin,
1:43:06
and for which I have oft chided him.
1:43:09
But it is him and his way,
1:43:12
and were he other,
he would not be Robert Roy McGregor.

1:43:17
He would not come here before you,
1:43:19
nor would he favour me
to do so in his stead,

1:43:23
but I have no choice
1:43:25
unless I give him up
entire to his enemies.

1:43:30
And though I love his honour,
1:43:32
it is but a moon-cast shadow
to the love I bear him.

1:43:38
For the grace of God,
1:43:39
I have his child inside me
1:43:42
and I would have a father for it.
1:43:47
You do your man no dishonour, Mary.
1:43:51
Faith, he is a man
much blessed by fortune.
