I was much drier and more bitter twenty years ago than now. I am feminized and softened by wear, as others get harder, and that makes me INDIGNANT. I feel that I am becoming a COW, it takes nothing to move me; everything troubles and agitates me, everything is to me as the north wind is to the reed. A word from you, which I remembered, has made me reread now the Fair Maid of Perth.
He began to be suspicious that all was not right, and in a short time the seller was apprehended for stealing the cattle from Wemyss Castle. He was tried at Perth, and transported for fourteen years, and Halliburton and Ritchie had to give evidence. The judge said to Halliburton at the trial at Perth, "You surely must have known the cattle were too cheap."
Poor Smith, as he squeezed my hand, begged me to send out a horse for him, if one could be procured, and also some tobacco; he said the only thing he dreaded was want of water. Mr. Walker smiled and told me to look out for myself that he was not in Perth before me, and several others seemed to participate in his feeling and to regard my plan of proceeding as the height of folly.

In the meantime a division of the army had returned to Carlisle and was laying siege to it with great vigour. Lord George Murray and the Duke of Perth worked in the trenches in their shirt sleeves.

Here, between nursing their sick, and working for the soldiers, they watched the progress of events which they had long foreseen were inevitable. Sarah speaks of the war as a retribution.
"Well, what's up?" asked Perth, with a yawn which indicated that he had not much hope of any scheme. "Cleats and Bitts will be on the mid watch to-night. I notice that Cleats goes into the cabin once or twice in our quarter watch, and I suppose he does in yours." "Yes, after his coffee, I suppose. He always comes back eating a biscuit." "Just so; and Bitts goes to sleep." "Not often."
The smith also crossed himself, and exclaimed: "St. Mary! father Simon, and do you, who are so good and prudent that you have been called the Wise Glover of Perth, let your daughter attend the ministry of one who the saints preserve us! may be in league with the foul fiend himself!
Reached Perth a little after dark, having made a walk of nearly twenty miles after 11 a.m. Here I remained over the Sabbath, and greatly enjoyed both its rest and the devotional exercises in some of the churches of the city. The Fair City of Perth is truly most beautifully situated at the head of navigation on the Tay, as Stirling is on the Forth.
"No," she said slowly; "I don't think " "No wonder!" said Robin. "We met once, in a railway carriage, six years ago. Between Edinburgh and Perth on a Saturday afternoon," he added expressively. Light broke in upon Kitty. "Of course!" she said. "Now I remember. That dreadful journey! You were the gentleman who was so kind and helpful. How nice and romantic meeting again!
