But we have long known him to be one of the silliest creatures in England, with his guitar, and his other whims and follies." Chesterfield, after this short sketch of his brother-in-law's merit, began to relate the observations he had made during the visit, and asked Hamilton what he thought of his cousin Arran, who had so obligingly left them together.
Then they entered the room. Mrs. Boyd scarcely noticed them, but her eyes questioned Lilian, who began to explain, holding the poor hand in hers. Mrs. Boyd seemed confused at first, then she said with some difficulty "Yes, yes." Lilian and Miss Arran pillowed her up in a sitting posture and placed the material on a portable desk. "It is just to sign your name." She seemed to listen as Mr.
I did, however, all that was in my power to pacify her, saying our lots were not yet laid in blood, and, leaving her to the consolatory counsellings of my wife, I put on my bonnet and hastened over to the manse. The night was troubled and gusty. The moon was in her first quarter, and wading dim and low through the clouds on the Arran hills.
I am apt to believe that she caused to be forged a letter, which she attributed to Arran. See my 'John Knox and the Reformation, pp. 280, 281, where the evidence is discussed.

"That is the substance of it," replied Captain Passford, as he restored the key of the cipher to his pocket-book, and rose from his seat.
We had reached Largs, on the coast of Ayrshire, and saw the Isle of Bute, the Cumbraes, and the lofty summits of Arran, rise out of the Firth of Clyde, in beautiful succession. At this time steamboats were unknown.

Just at daylight Miss Arran leaned over the bed and touched the cold face, felt for the heart. There was not the faintest motion. There had not been a sound or a sigh, she had just lapsed into her dreamless sleep. She summoned Mrs. Dane. "It is much better so. There will be nothing painful to remember," said that lady.
