Quote #10

"Come, come, Mr. Ebenezer," said the lawyer, "you must not be down-hearted, for I promise you we shall make easy terms. In the meanwhile give us the cellar key, and Torrance shall draw us a bottle of your father's wine in honour of the event." Then, turning to me and taking me by the hand, "Mr. David," says he, "I wish you all joy in your good fortune, which I believe to be deserved." (29.61)

Davie is taking the high road. Now that he's defeated Ebenezer and recovered his claim to the Shaws estate, Davie (via Rankeillor) is willing to settle on "easy terms." He's probably the only character in the book who is genuinely wronged who does not choose revenge. Way to practice what you preach, there, buddy.
