They searched garden, park, and grounds; men in hot haste went hither and thither; while Lady Earle lay half dead with fear, and Lillian rested calmly, knowing nothing of what had happened. It was Lord Airlie who first suggested that the lake should be dragged. The sun rode high in the heavens then, and shone gloriously over water and land.
She went up to Beatrice and smilingly asked Lord Airlie if he could spare her sister for five minutes. "Ten, if you wish it," he replied, "but no longer;" and the two sisters walked through the long drawing room into the little boudoir. "Quick, Lillian," cried Beatrice, "have you seen him? What does he say?" "I have seen him," she replied; "there is no time now to tell all he said.
He began to think there might be some hope for him; the proud, beautiful face softened and brightened for him as it did for no other, and the glorious dark eyes never met his own, the frank, bright words died away in his presence. Seeing all these things, Lord Airlie felt some little hope.
I remember one began: What do ye want the bluid of, bluid of? Is it a name, or is it a clan, Or is it an aefauld Hielandman, That ye want the bluid of, bluid of? Another went to my old favourite air, The House of Airlie, and began thus: It fell on a day when Argyle was on the bench, That they served him a Stewart for his denner.
Will you have the 'Bonny House o' Airlie?" But it was long before Peggy could be quieted. She wanted to talk. She was full of reminiscences of former "croppers" in the lives of the various members of her family.
Montrose commanded the cavalry, Linlithgow the foot: Claverhouse rode at the head of his troop under his kinsman, and the Earls of Home and Airlie were there in charge of their respective troops: Mar held a command of foot. Many other Scotch noblemen and gentlemen of position followed the army as volunteers.
But she was young, and youth is ever sanguine; she was brave, and the brave rarely despair. She did not realize the difficulties of her position, and she did not think it possible that anything could happen to take her from Hubert Airlie. Only one person noted the change in Beatrice, and that was her sister, Lillian Earle.
From Perth he marched on Aberdeen, gaining some reinforcements from the northern gentry, and in particular from the Earl of Airlie. From Aberdeen Montrose proceeded by Rothiemurchus to Blair Athole, but suddenly turned backwards to Aberdeenshire, where he defended Fyvie Castle, slipped past Argyll, and again reached Blair Athole.
On her return to the front of the house, her interest in the play was gone. It was absurd that it should be so; but the fact remained. Mr. Airlie had lunched the day before with a leonine old gentleman who every Sunday morning thundered forth Social Democracy to enthusiastic multitudes on Tower Hill. Joan had once listened to him and had almost been converted: he was so tremendously in earnest.
She looked at him, and for the first time remarked the noble, dignified carriage, the tall, erect figure, the clear-cut patrician face not handsome according to the rules of beauty, but from the truth and honor written there in nature's plainest hand. Then she saw and it struck her with surprise how Lord Airlie, so courted and run after, sought her out.
