Alan found a house，and knocked at the door.
It was not a very safe thing but he did it for mysake. In that part of the conutry，there was no greatclan. There were many different small Highlandfamilies. Some were friends，some were enemies.
There were Maclarens，and these followed Alan ’schief in war. There were also Macgregors，They hada bad name，and nobody liked them.
艾倫找到一座房子，上前敲門。
這樣做是很危險的。可是為了我，他還是這樣做了。那一帶沒有大姓人家，隻有許多姓氏不同的高他小家族，有的是朋友，有的是敵人：其中包括跟隨艾倫的首領打過仗的麥克拉倫家族和名聲不好，不受人歡迎的麥格羅戈家族。
We were lucky. The house belonged to DuncanDhu，a Maclaren. He knew Alan，and welcomed us.
His wife put me to bed and sent for，a doctor. I wasvery ill，and for a week I could not move. But I wasyoung and strong，and in a month，I recovered myhealth.
我們還算走運，這個人名叫鄧肯·杜，屬於麥克拉倫家族。他認識艾倫，對我們表示歡迎。他的妻子把我扶到床上。派人去請大夫。
我病得很厲害，一連七天動都動不了。可是我畢竟年輕力壯，一個月過後，就痊愈了。
All this time，Alan did not leave me. By dayhe hid in a little wood. Every night he came out tovisit me. He was in danger，but he stayed. I wasvery glad when he came. Duncan Dhu had bagpipes在我養病期間，艾倫一直沒有離開過我。白天，他在一座小樹林裏藏身，夜裏，就溜出來看我。他的處境很危險，可他一直呆在那兒。
in his house，and loved music. When I was better，we had many gay nights with the bagpipes.
他每次一來，我都感到高興。鄧肯· 杜愛好音樂，家裏有個風笛。
我身體好了一些之後，我們吹起風笛，度過了許多快樂的夜晚。
The soldiers did not find us，and no sheriffcame to ask questions. Yet all the people in thatdistrict knew I was there. A bill which describedme clearly was hanging near my bed. I had comewith Alan. They must guess I was the boy from theLowlands. I had changed my clothes，but I couldnot change my age or person.
