Ye 'll no carry such a thing as snuff , will ye ? '' I told him no , and that he had asked the same thing more than once . `` It 's highly possible , '' said he , sighing . `` But it seems strange ye shouldnae carry it . However , as I was saying , this Alan Breck is a bold , desperate customer , and well kent to be James 's right hand . His life is forfeit already ; he would boggle at naething ; and maybe , if a tenant-body was to hang back he would get a dirk in his wame . '' `` You make a poor story of it all , Mr. Henderland , '' said I. `` If it is all fear upon both sides , I care to hear no more of it . '' `` Na , '' said Mr. Henderland , `` but there 's love too , and self-denial that should put the like of you and me to shame . There 's something fine about it ; no perhaps Christian , but humanly fine . Even Alan Breck , by all that I hear , is a chield to be respected . There 's many a lying sneck-draw sits close in kirk in our own part of the country , and stands well in the world 's eye , and maybe is a far worse man , Mr. Balfour , than yon misguided shedder of man 's blood . Ay , ay , we might take a lesson by them . -- Ye 'll perhaps think I 've been too long in the Hielands ? '' he added , smiling to me . I told him not at all ; that I had seen much to admire among the Highlanders ; and if he came to that , Mr. Campbell himself was a Highlander . `` Ay , '' said he , `` that 's true . It 's a fine blood . '' `` And what is the King 's agent about ? '' I asked . `` Colin Campbell ? ''
