In the Gaelic tongue Glencoe signifies the Glen of Weeping; and in truth that pass is the most dreary and melancholy of all the Scottish passes, the very Valley of the Shadow of Death.
The secret of the good man's visit came out as he sat with them on the front steps afterward. "I fear that it will be a hot summer, ma'am," he had said to Mrs. Brice. "You should go to the country."

But Miss Virginia Carvel he had never seen since the night he had danced with her. This was because, after her return from the young ladies' school at Monticello, she had gone to Glencoe, Glencoe, magic spot, perched high on wooded highlands. And under these the Meramec, crystal pure, ran lightly on sand and pebble to her bridal with that turbid tyrant, the Father of Waters.
William contented himself with dismissing the Master from office. For this great fault, a fault amounting to a crime, Burnet tried to frame, not a defence, but an excuse.

He did not press the matter; but begged Stephen to call on him in a day or two, at the bank. "What do you think, Stephen," asked his mother, when Mr. Brinsmade was gone, Stephen did not reply at once. What, indeed, could he say?
"Go an workin', Dug, because I can't stop; I just want a rope to catch Grey Molly." "You red devil take that rope over there, Vic. You won't have no work catchin' Molly. Which she's plumb tame.
