Awa Reason

Nazi

When my father died, I journeyed from my lowland village to Kramund, near Edinburgh, to find my uncle Ebenezer.

Unknown to me, a highland rebel of whom I'd heard tell, Alan Breck Stewart, hero of Colaudin, had landed from France some days before.

The welcome my uncle gave me was a strange one. He's loaded. I've come here with a letter to Mr Ebenezer Balfa. From him? From my father.

And put it down in the door, step that off with you. It's a letter of introduction. Through you, then. My name is David Balfa. I like the end, man.

Come in, quickly. He accepted me in time, and I spent a cold, damp night in his kitchen.

Meanwhile, the fugitive Alan Breck Stewart had made his way secretly to the home of his uncle, James Stewart of the Glens.

No money would pay rent twice over, but that's what happened in your tenant, Stewart. Don't tell me you know nothing of it.

I'll look into the matter, Mr. Campbell. The legal rent belongs to King George, and I intend to collect it.

As the king's factor, I've no doubt you will carry out your duties properly and conscientiously.

James Stewart, I'd watch your speech if I were you. You've twice been a rebel. Once for the old King James, and once for the upstart Charlie at Colaudum. And twice you've been forgiven.

It's only through the Duke of Argyle, beating on your behalf that you've been allowed to stay in this house.

Is that what it was? Well, you thank your Campbell Chieftain on my behalf next time you see him for his grace and favors.

In a sly one, James of the Glens. And a one day your head's still on your shoulders. I'll give you one clear and final warning.

This house will be bumped to the ground and you'll hang. If we catch one Jacobite agent anywhere in happy.

I've had no word of any such man. Is there anyone in particular that I should be watching out for?

You try my patience, Sore Stewart. Alan Breck landed but a week ago from a friendship. He's hearing up him. As you will know yourself. He'll never leave it alive.

And you can pass this on to your tenants. A very man pays a penny piece to your absentee lared.

He'll be turned out onto the moors with all his family. His roof pole put to the torch and his cattle sold for the crowd. So think on that.

Good day to you. Until you. Call in Campbell.

I'll end the salute your back in France a bit. I saw your visitor. Yes, well he's the English king's factor now. And the duke of our girls right now. I'd like to cut his throat.

If that happens they'll turn this glen into a graveyard.

Would you stop to bring to Prince's house with his house? He's no time.

Still talks are coming back. Oh I Mrs. Stewart he'll be back. But ahead of an army. Then he's ill-advised. The clans will never rise again. What do you think the money is for?

We live here you don't. The old times will never be back. Anyone who still thinks that is living in an ex-house dream. That's Campbell talk. It's common sense. What are you trying to tell me? There'll be no more money. No!

I don't see my tack men and tenants starve anymore. I'll provide money for my own parts for as long as I can. Though I know it's not a reason army. But to keep the prince on French, wine, brandy and women. That's a damned English lie. It's a damned English lie if the English tell it. But both you and I know that it's the truth.

Good day to you, ma'am. Alan.

You and the bony prince are a fine pair. More feathers in your head than the roaring your bonnet.

Wait again James. Good speak to you.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh, great step, Tevi.

I'm not used to being locked in at night.

I'll poke around here. I'm not curious. You can't have too careful.

But I'm your nephew. You surely can trust me.

I hope so, Tevi. I hope so.

Was it folk around here who broke all your windows?

Well, we had certain disagreements.

With a woman called Janet Clustin.

Not a woman. What do you know?

I met her. She cost you. You, your house, and everyone in it.

I'd have sold her. She had not a pair of yarn for five years or more.

With the shell of no? With the pigs for all I care.

But to cost you like that, she's a pro-claimed witch. I tell you.

Of course, let me wish you by God, Tevi. I'll have her roasting on red peat before I'm done with her.

If there are any fires to be lit, I'd like to dry off this bedding.

This room's damper than a well.

What's that? This my house, a huge oma.

Why, huge, of course, sir. Well, say no more of it.

You want an... breakfast.

No, don't.

You can wash your face out there if you want.

Ah, sir, too. Devi. Sir, too.

Porridge again, uncle.

Ah, porridge today, tomorrow and every day. Good health and food.

Would you like some air? Yes. Thank you, uncle.

I can deny you nothing within reason.

And your mother? What of her?

I'm sorry to tell you. She's been dead for years.

She was a bonnie loss.

Oh, you came to the right place when you came to your uncle, Ebenezer.

I have a great notion of the family. I mean, to do was right there.

You can study for law or the ministry or you've enjoyed the army.

I prefer to study law. My father wished that, too.

These friends you mentioned last night.

You were there. The minister of Mr. Campbell is one.

Campbell? Helen Campbell?

Then that first supported the English?

Your best not again mixed up with that clown, feuds and dangerous package.

You're better off with your family. Yes, uncle.

And while you're here, I'll ask you to keep your tone between your teeth.

No debt, there's no messages, not a word to anybody else.

There's the door. Very well, uncle.

If that's the way that I go, I only came because I was told.

Come yourself, ma.

You can stay here for a day or two.

Ain't no magician defending your fortune at the bottom of the party.

It's pot. But you're a sure.

I do, right, babe. Enough said.

If you mean to help me, I'm grateful.

Oh, blood's thicker than water, Dave.

It's only you and me, bear the name of all for now.

So what's...

Maine's yours and what's yours, Maine?

Are you going out?

I have business to attend.

Business? Well, I have interest abroad.

There's a certain ship, Dr. Nefirth, from the Carolinas.

I have martyrs to discuss for the captain.

Anyway, I can't leave you by yourself in the house.

I'll have to leave you alone.

Yes.

I'll have to lock you out.

If you do, it'll be the last you see of me.

There's no way to speak to your uncle.

It's not a way to treat an F you either.

First you lock me in, then you try to lock me out.

What is it you're frightened of?

Fourth?

Just fourth.

Vice for the

film lady?

Nothing, just don't touch anything.

In this room we're only waiting for hat inined ordered vans.

How do I say that we've never seen it,

what's it like to go after the driver?

My towsuit come from wit?

Well...

No, we perfectly.

I never.

He's done well.

Not me nor do you think we've heard that?

I don't know anymore.

You know what, we respond to holidays first.

You say that they'll take …

To my brother Ebenezer on his fifth birthday from Alexander.

You sir, may we speak to you?

Are we on the right road for the house or shores?

Is it what no?

I do. Is it the road or not?

What's your business?

To find a young man called David Balfour.

There's none such here.

But you told me himself that he was...

Then he lied here, be on your way back.

What's your tongue man?

I am the lair to shores. I tell you this only me lives there.

I'll ask you to be gone from my property.

What are you doing here?

It's a fine library. It seems a pity not to use it.

Praying? Praying?

Put that back where you found it.

What have you to hide uncle? Put it back where you found it.

Would you mind taking your hand from my jacket?

To my brother Ebenezer on his fifth birthday from my father.

What of it?

In a fine, well-formed hand.

He could scarcely have written that if he was not yet five himself.

Could he? So he must have been older than you.

And if he was, he was the rightful heir to this estate. And not you.

And now he's dead at close to me.

No wonder you've been so fearful since my arrival.

No! So is it, mate?

Your father signed a paper.

What paper? Short to me.

It's locked away.

You cheated him of his inheritance. For years we lived in poverty.

You were the fool boy.

If that were true, we'd go farther than not have claimed it.

Show me that paper then.

Well, very well.

There's a chest and a stair tower at the end of the house.

You'll find it in the top room.

You'll have to get there from the outside. That part of the house was never finished.

It'll be dark outside. I'll need a light.

I've told you, there are no lights in this house.

You're a deal, you're well.

Very well.

Yeah.

Oh, no!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Well, um, small thanks to you.

The blue bawd on the shelf over there.

Is this another of your tricks?

It was my heart, it happened my way.

Let's get me the bawd.

Thank you, David.

And now I want the truth, Uncle.

Why did you want to kill me on that stairway?

It's swear.

I didn't know it had gone so far, I haven't been up there.

For years, that's true.

Or I'll smash this bottle in the stones.

It is true?

There is a paper, but now I'm aimed at it.

It is lost with Mr. Enquira, the lawyer, and Edinburgh.

No, lies!

No!

It's true!

You took me for a foolish old mama,

no more sense than a bean bawd, but it was your father,

was the fool.

He ran off with him in the car,

say, your mother, I got all the lands,

and showin' exchange.

That makes no sense to me.

You're really in pain.

Ah.

I take you to the lawyer tomorrow.

He'll show you proof, little bawd.

I'm coming!

Yes?

What's your mind?

Can you name your business?

Oh, business is it?

Well, I've, I've certainly got a letter you live from my old capnose.

Easy to a Mr. Belflare.

Belflare?

I think you mean my uncle, Mr. Belflare.

Well, please yourself.

I'll tell you, my own walk, Landry.

It's a long walk from all slurry.

We'll have some porridge in the kitchen. Go on.

Oh, me a porridge. Now you got it.

And think yourself lucky.

Feed a pinch on that.

Uncle, the young sailor brought this for you.

All right, it's from a cap and a season, hmm?

Yes, well, Landry.

I know I have done you wrong.

TV, I'm anxious to put that right, but I must say this cap and a season and sign some papers.

You mind if we stop off with how it's very and the way to the lawyers?

How long will that take?

Only, I jot.

They're making jot off to their turn, you know?

Well, I'll wait while you dress.

It's not no season. My master.

Oh, he's a rough one. The trouble is, you ain't no seaman.

Ah, that's Mr. Schumann, who never gets a brig.

Find a seaman in the trade, he is.

But it's temper.

Oh, an easy drink. Look at this.

He did, eh? Mr. Schumann.

Four?

Wasn't moving quick enough for him, was I?

You put up with treatment like that.

Well, not anymore. Let me try it again. And I'll do for him, I will.

But why go on? Why not try life, I sure?

Nah. Couldn't stand a statement in the one place for the rest of me life.

Besides, life I'd say ain't all that bad.

I mean, you gotta take the rough over a little smoother, haven't ya?

Sometimes. Mr. Schumann and me, we sit down over a bottle like old shit, mate.

Don't you see the Lord Ol' Get?

And he'll start knocking me about again to serve me up. I mean, it's life.

It wouldn't suit me.

Since I was a child, I've had a mortal fear of droning.

Then you want to stay on trial and then, mate, you don't ya?

No, no, no.

There she lies. The covenant there.

Not on a bad state, is she? Can since she's just come back from America.

What was she doing there?

10, 20 pounders.

What?

Well, rebels has got caught. The government gives the skip a 10 pounder ad for taking him to Carolina Virginia.

Then he gets another 10 pound, the other end to send to the slave masters.

Do you stand there yapping, boy?

Uncle, where are we going?

I told you I have business with Captain this season. He'll be in sight.

Well, to see you again, Mr. Ebony, you thought. I'm glad you're here in time.

The winds fail, the tides on the turn will have the anchor up within the hour.

Well, I've an urgent matter to discuss before then. This is my nephew, David.

It is to me to Mr. David.

Thank you, sir.

This room's awful hot, Captain.

Well, I'm cold-blooded by nature, sir.

There's neither far nor flannel. Keep me warm and let's climb.

It's the same with most men who've been carbonated in the tropics.

We find a cooler room for our discussion.

No, sir. I prefer my comfort. We'll talk in here.

Then you'll have to excuse us for Fade, Minnes David.

We'll use that whole side into some fresh air.

I will, but don't have any thoughts of giving me the slip-on call.

How could an old dog let me run away from a fain young man like you?

We'll have to be at the lawyers without Dilly.

The captain and I will be at the funeral.

Very well.

I was weary still, but I had no conception of the fate my uncle and the captain were planning for.
