Even Alan Breck , by all that I hear , is a chield to be respected . There 's many a lying sneck-draw sits close in kirk in our own part of the country , and stands well in the world 's eye , and maybe is a far worse man , Mr. Balfour , than yon misguided shedder of man 's blood . Ay , ay , we might take a lesson by them . -- Ye 'll perhaps think I 've been too long in the Hielands ? '' he added , smiling to me . I told him not at all ; that I had seen much to admire among the Highlanders ; and if he came to that , Mr. Campbell himself was a Highlander . `` Ay , '' said he , `` that 's true . It 's a fine blood . '' `` And what is the King 's agent about ? '' I asked . `` Colin Campbell ? '' says Henderland . `` Putting his head in a bees ' byke ! '' `` He is to turn the tenants out by force , I hear ? '' said I. `` Yes , '' says he , `` but the business has gone back and forth , as folk say . First , James of the Glens rode to Edinburgh , and got some lawyer -LRB- a Stewart , nae doubt -- they all hing together like bats in a steeple -RRB- and had the proceedings stayed . And then Colin Campbell cam ' in again , and had the upper-hand before the Barons of Exchequer . And now they tell me the first of the tenants are to flit to-morrow . It 's to begin at Duror under James 's very windows , which doesnae seem wise by my humble way of it . '' `` Do you think they 'll fight ? ''
