On 22-26 May 2000, representatives of over one thousand non-governmental organizations assembled in New York at the invitation of Kofi Annan, the United Nations Secretary-General.
To-morrow we shall go to his house, and make inquiry concerning all that he knows." "Be it so, father," said the colonel. And on the following day they took a chaise and set out together the grandfather, the father, and the son. They had to cross the Annan, and to pass the churchyard where Maria slept. As they drew near to it, the colonel desired the driver to stop.
Millar, employed by Fassifern to agitate against Glenure. In the beginning of July a man, suspected of being Allan, was arrested at Annan on the Border, by a sergeant of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

It was recognised by Hugh, who went out to look at it, and found it the body of Vimpany. Whether he was on his way back to Annan, or whether he intended to call at the villa that evening instead of next morning, no one can tell. His wife shed tears, but they were tears of relief. The man was buried as a stranger. Hugh kept his counsel. Mrs. Vimpany put the letter in the fire.
He rather made play, and spoke much across the table to the Solicitor, and seemed to be good-humoured.

But time and place were not fitting. May 24.
