Lord Advocate:
Mr. Balfour, a great issue hangs on this. An innocent man's life. Thousands of innocent lives. Lives that are mine to protect. David Balfour:
I understand that. Lord Advocate:
But you do not understand the position. The highlanders can be ruled only through the Campbells, and one has been foully murdered, on Stewart ground, at that. Have they no right to justice? David Balfour:
Yes, my Lord, but not to vengeance
