Quote #10
"Well," said I, "it's to his door that I am bound, so you may judge by that if I am an ill-doer; and I will tell you more, that though I am indeed, by a dreadful error, in some peril of my life, King George has no truer friend in all Scotland than myself."
Her face cleared up mightily at this, although Alan's darkened. (26.84)
Davie mentions his loyalty to King George to the maid who rows him and Alan across to Queensferry. Alan's face "darkened" at this reference to Davie's loyalties. But he already knows that Davie is a Whig, a Royalist, a supporter of the English throne. So is his face darkening simply at the mention of King George? How does Alan manage to get over his political feelings enough to stay friends with a Whig like Davie?
