I think�察�in our friends。 We are not deceived in them�察�in the few
that we admit into our hearts。
MARY。 Never in these。
LESLIE。 We know these ��TO BRODIE���察�and we think the world of
them。

LAWSON。 How should I ken�拭 �What should I ken that ails him��
LESLIE。 He seemed angry even with you。
LAWSON ��IMPATIENT��。 Hoot awa'。
LESLIE。 Of course�察�I know。 But you see�察�on the very day when
our engagement is announced�察�even the best of men may be
susceptible。 You yourself seem not quite pleased。
LAWSON ��WITH GREAT IRRITATION��。 I'm perfectly pleased。 I'm
perfectly delighted。 If I werena an auld man�察�I'd be just beside
mysel' wi' happiness。
LESLIE。 Well�察�I only fancied。
LAWSON。 Ye had nae possible excuse to fancy。 Fancy�拭 �Perfect
trash and nonsense。 Look at yersel'。 Ye look like a ghaist��
ye're white´like�察�ye're black aboot the een�察�and do ye find me
deavin' ye wi' fancies�拭 �Or William Brodie either�拭 �I'll say that
for him。
LESLIE。 'Tis not sorrow that alters my complexion�察�I've
something else on hand。 Come�察�I'll tell you�察�under seal。 I've
not been in bed till daylight for a week。
LAWSON。 Weel�察�there's nae sense in the like o' that。
LESLIE。 Gad�察�but there is though。 Why�察�Procurator�察�this is
town's business�察�this is a municipal affair�察�I'm a public
character。 Why�拭 �Ah�察�here's a nut for the Crown Prosecutor� �I'm
a bit of a party to a robbery。
LAWSON。 Guid guide us�察�man�察�what d'ye mean��
LESLIE。 You shall hear。 A week ago to´night�察�I was passing
through this very room without a candle on my way to bed�察�when 。
。 。 what should I see�察�but a masked man fumbling at that window� �
How he did the Lord knows。 I suspect�察�Procurator�察�it was not the
first he'd tried 。 。 。 for he opened it as handily as his own
front door。
LAWSON。 Preserve me� �Another of thae robberies��
LESLIE。 That's it。 And�察�of course�察�I tried to seize him。 But
the rascal was too quick。 He was down and away in an instant。
You never saw a thing so daring and adroit。
LAWSON。 Is that a'�拭 �Ye're a bauld lad�察�I'll say that for ye。
I'm glad it wasna waur。
LESLIE。 Yes�察�that's all plain sailing。 But here's the hitch。
Why didn't I tell the Procurator´Fiscal�拭 �You never thought of
that。
LAWSON。 No�察�man。 Why��
LESLIE。 Aha� �There's the riddle。 Will you guess�拭 �No�拭 � 。 。 I
thought I knew the man。
LAWSON。 What d'ye say��
LESLIE。 I thought I knew him。
LAWSON。 Wha was't��
LESLIE。 Ah�察�there you go beyond me。 That I cannot tell。
LAWSON。 As God sees ye�察�laddie�察�are ye speaking truth��
LESLIE。 Well 。 。 。 of course��
LAWSON。 The haill truth��
LESLIE。 All of it。 Why not��
LAWSON。 Man�察�I'd a kind o' gliff。
LESLIE。 Why�察�what were you afraid of�拭 �Had you a suspicion��
LAWSON。 Me�拭 �Me a suspicion�拭 �Ye're daft�察�sir�察�and me the Crown
offeecial� � 。 。 Eh man�察�I'm a' shakin' 。。。 And sae ye thocht ye
kennt him��
LESLIE。 I did that。 And what's more�察�I've sat every night in
case of his return。 I promise you�察�Procurator�察�he shall not slip
me twice。 Meanwhile I'm worried and put out。 You understand how
such a fancy will upset a man。 I'm uneasy with my friends and on
bad terms with my own conscience。 I keep watching�察�spying��
comparing�察�putting two and two together�察�hunting for resemblances
until my head goes round。 It's like a puzzle in a dream。 Only
yesterday I thought I had him。 And who d'you think it was��
LAWSON。 Wha�拭 �Wha was't�拭 �Speak�察�Mr。 Leslie�察�speak。 I'm an auld
man�察�dinna forget that。
LESLIE。 I name no names。 It would be unjust to him�察�and�察�upon
my word�察�it was so silly it would be unfair to me。 However�察�here
I sit�察�night after night。 I mean him to come back�察�come back he
shall�察�and I'll tell you who he was next morning。
LAWSON。 Let sleeping dogs lie�察�Mr。 Leslie�察�ye dinna ken what ye
micht see。 And then�察�leave him alane�察�he'll come nae mair。 And
sitting up a' nicht 。 。 。 it's a FACTUM IMPRESTABILE�察�as we say�此�
a thing impossible to man。 Gang ye to your bed�察�like a guid
laddie�察�and sleep lang and soundly�察�and bonnie�察�bonnie dreams to
ye� 。�WITHOUT。
