Well , David , I 'm the hand that carries it . '' And he struck the belt about his body , so that the guineas rang . `` Do they pay both ? '' cried I. `` Ay , David , both , '' says he . `` What ! two rents ? '' I repeated . `` Ay , David , '' said he . `` I told a different tale to yon captain man ; but this is the truth of it . And it 's wonderful to me how little pressure is needed . But that 's the handiwork of my good kinsman and my father 's friend , James of the Glens : James Stewart , that is : Ardshiel 's half-brother . He it is that gets the money in , and does the management . '' This was the first time I heard the name of that James Stewart , who was afterwards so famous at the time of his hanging . But I took little heed at the moment , for all my mind was occupied with the generosity of these poor Highlanders . `` I call it noble , '' I cried . `` I 'm a Whig , or little better ; but I call it noble . '' `` Ay '' said he , `` ye 're a Whig , but ye 're a gentleman ; and that 's what does it . Now , if ye were one of the cursed race of Campbell , ye would gnash your teeth to hear tell of it . If ye were the Red Fox ... '' And at that name , his teeth shut together , and he ceased speaking . I have seen many a grim face , but never a grimmer than Alan 's when he had named the Red Fox .
`` And who is the XXXXX Fox ? ''
