David Balfour, Second Part

CHAPTER XVII
18/23

"To-morrow," he resumed, "our business here is to be finished, and I proceed by Glasgow.

David." "My lord...." I began.
"I do not deny it will be of service to me," he interrupted.

"I desire even that, when we shall come to Edinburgh you should alight at my house.
