I knew Campbell, of course, so I wasn't a bit astonished at the way he greeted me, when he realized who I was.
'It's no' you again?' says he. like a Free Kirk elder to the town drunk. 'Dearie me - ye're not looking a whit better than when I saw ye last. I doot ye've nae discretion, Flashman.' He sighed and shook his head, but just as he was turning away to his tent he looked back and says: 'I'm glad to see ye, mind.'
