‘I do not want to give ye my own name，’ replied Alan，General Purpose Blade‘but I've come to talk to ye about someone called—David．’
‘What！’ cried my uncle． And after a moment， he said un happily，‘Will ye come inside， to discuss—the matter？’
cried my uncle
‘I will not，’ said Alan sharply．‘It's here on this doorstep that we must talk．
Come down and speak to me．’
cried my uncle
After Ebenezer had thought about it， he decided to do what Alan wanted． It took him a long time to come downstairs， and a longer time to unlock the heavr door，but at last we saw him in the doorway， holding his gun in his shaking hands．
‘ Now，’ said Alan,beads，‘ye're intelligent enough to see that I'm a Highlander．General Purpose Blade I have friends who live near the island of Mull．Well， it seems that a ship went down near there， and soon afterwards my friends found a lad， half－dead， on the beach．Your nephew， Mr Balfour． Since then they've been taking care of him． And now they'd like to know， Mr Balfour， if ye want him back． Ye'll have to pay， if ye do． My friends are very poor．
