Redmain, and jumped from his chair to prevent her. He would not have succeeded had not Mewks met her in the doorway full in the face. She had to draw back to avoid him, and the man, perceiving at once how things were, closed the door the moment he entered, and stood with his back against it. "He's in the drawing-room, sir," said Mewks.
You needn't believe a word I said about myself. It was all hum to make the villain show his game." "I have not heard a word, Mr. Redmain," she said with indignation. "Oh, you needn't trouble yourself!" he returned. "I meant you to hear it all. What did I put you there for, but to get your oath to what I drew from the fellow? A fine thing if your pretended squeamishness ruin my plot!
I would much rather not have any from you." "But think how much good you might do with it!" said Mr. Redmain, satirically. " It was come by honestly so far as I know." "Money can't do half the good people think. It is stubborn stuff to turn to any good. And in this case it would be directly against good."

She hated her far worse. "You must get the viper out of-the house, Mewks," she said. "It is all your fault she got into the room."

"'Tis a chance that I do not have too often; and now that we are so far I would go to yonder gully where but a while ago we saw that vast herd of deer enter. Come." "Methinks, Allan Redmain," said Kenric, "that 'tis you who have come with me to Arran, not I with you, and I beg you to at once return with me."
Redmain, who had pleasure in behaving handsomely so far as money was concerned, bought his wife the best sapphire he could find, and, for once, really pleased her.

The largest of the galleys sailed in advance, bearing the viking's flag, and having an array of knights and soldiers upon her decks and many archers at her prow. Lulach ran in terror to Kilmory Castle, and straightway Sir Oscar Redmain prepared to meet the coming foe. Lulach was then to have hastened to St.
