Aye, man? Was my - was Alexander older than Ebenezer
Indeed he was! No other rea son for killing him!
This wasa great surprise to me! I had thought that my father was younger brother, and I nor understood why my uncle had lied to me, and wanted to kill me. The house of Shaws had belonged to my father not my uncle and now I had inherited it. The poor country boy who had walked from Essendean was the owner of a fine house and farmland! My head was full of the wonderful things that I could do in my life, as I looked, unseeing, at the sea
Just then my uncle and the captain came out of the public house. The captain smiled in a friendly way as he spoke to me. Sir, he said. Mr Balfour has told me a lot about ye,. I'm sorry I haven't time to get to know ye better. But I'd like ye to come on to my ship for half an hour, before we sail, and have a drink with me.
Now, more than anything in the world , I had to be careful.
My uncle and I have to see the lawyer, sir, I replied, so I'm afraid we may not have enough time
Aye, aye, he answered I' know, But ye see ,the ship's boat can put ye both down near Rankeillor's house, after ye've seen the ship. so ye won't lose any time. Suddenly he said quietly in my ear, watch out for the old man- he wants to hurt ye. come and talk about it. Putting his arm in mine, he said loudly, what can I bring ye back from my travels? A friend of Mr.Balfour's is a friend of mine!
By this time we were on the beach, and he was helping my uncle and me into the boat. I thought that I had found a good frind and helper, and I was very excited as we came closer to the great ship full to busy, noisy sailors. The captain and I were the first to climb up the ship's side, and at the top the captain immediately put his arm through mine and began to talk about the ship.
But where is my uncle? I asked suddenly. I pulled Myself away from the captain's arm. and ran to the side of the ship. Sure enough, there was the boat returning to Queensferry, with my uncle slowly turned to look at me.
I did not see any more. already strong hands were pulling me away. then something hit my head; I saw a great flash of fire, and fell to the ground
