TABLEAU VI。  UNMASKED

window�察�C。�察�through which a band of strong moonlight falls into
the room。  Near the window a strong´box。  A practicable door in

better than that。

MARY。  Dear uncle�察�I see you are vexed�察�but Will and I are 
perfectly agreed on the best course。  Walter and I are young。 
Oh�察�we can wait�察�we can trust each other。

BRODIE ��FROM BEHIND��。  Leslie�察�do you think it safe to keep this 
strong´box in your room��

LESLIE。  It does not trouble me。

BRODIE。  I would not。  'Tis close to the window。

LESLIE。  It's on the right side of it。

BRODIE。  I give you my advice�此 �I would not。

LAWSON。  He may be right there too�察�Mr。 Leslie。

BRODIE。  I give him fair warning�此 �it's not safe。

LESLIE。  I have a different treasure to concern myself about�察�if 
all goes right with that I shall be well contented。

MARY。  Walter��

LAWSON。  Ay�察�bairns�察�ye speak for your age。

LESLIE。  Surely�察�sir�察�for every age�察�the ties of blood�察�of love��
of friendship�察�these are life's essence。

MARY。  And for no one is it truer than my uncle。  If he live to
be a thousand�察�he will still be young in heart�察�full of love��
full of trust。

LAWSON。  All�察�lassie�察�it's a wicked world。

MARY。  Yes�察�you are out of sorts to´day�察�we know that。

in those you love。

LAWSON。  Weel 。 。 。 ye get gliffs�察�ye ken。

LESLIE。  I suppose so。  We can all be shaken for a time�察�but not��
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。

BRODIE ��AT BACK��。  We are more acquainted with each other's 
tailors�察�believe me。  You�察�Leslie�察�are a very pleasant creature。

the Deacon of the Wrights�察�my ruffles are generally clean。  And

SCENE II

LESLIE�察�LAWSON ��wrapping up��

LESLIE。  I wonder what ails Brodie��

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。
