"It's a day that sticks in my throat," said James. "O man, man, man–man Alan! you and me have spoken like two fools!" he cried, striking his hand upon the wall so that the house rang again.
"Well, and that's true, too," said Alan; "and my friend from the Lowlands here" (nodding at me) "gave me a good word upon that head, if I would only have listened to him." (19.25-26)
See, now you guys regret talking so much smack about Colin Roy. But it's too late. Still, credit to Stevenson for the continuity: Alan remembers Davie's warning way back in Chapter 12, and he regrets not listening to him then.

"There may be two words to say to that. But I think I will have heard that you are a man of your sword?"
"Unless ye were born deaf, Mr. Macgregor, ye will have heard a good deal more than that," says Alan. "I am not the only man that can draw steel in Appin; and when my kinsman and captain, Ardshiel, had a talk with a gentleman of your name, not so many years back, I could never hear that the Macgregor had the best of it. [. . .] The match was unequal. You and me would make a better pair, sir."
"I was thinking that," said Alan. (25.22-24)
Alan hasn't exactly learned his lesson about revenge: he allows Robin Oig (almost) to persuade him into a duel as a continuation of a fight between Rob Roy (Oig's father) and Ardshiel (Alan's clan chief). They finally settle the matter with music, but it's a close call.

"True," said Mr. Rankeillor. "And yet I imagine it was natural enough. He could not think that he had played a handsome part. Those who knew the story gave him the cold shoulder; those who knew it not, seeing one brother disappear, and the other succeed in the estate, raised a cry of murder; so that upon all sides he found himself evited. Money was all he got by his bargain; well, he came to think the more of money. He was selfish when he was young, he is selfish now that he is old; and the latter end of all these pretty manners and fine feelings you have seen for yourself." (28.9)
Ebenezer suffers social revenge for his misbehavior. He's managed to weasel his brother out of his inheritance, but he is completely isolated by the people around him as a result.
