The engine hissed and sizzled patiently in the darkness.
My cabin's on Beaver Creek some forty mile above, and game's going there, too." "Settlements," said my father. But presently, after a few whiffs of his pipe, he added, "I hear fine things of this land across the mountains, that the Indians call the Dark and Bluidy Ground." "And well named," said the stranger.

"He ran frae the bluidy han'," she said enigmatically. Janet recalled how Gibbie came to her, scored by the hand of cruelty.
'And now is it wonderful, when, for lack of exercise anent the call to the service of the altar and the duty of the day, ministers fall into sinful compliances with patronage, and indemnities, and oaths, and bonds, and other corruptions, is it wonderful, I say, that you, sir, and other sic-like unhappy persons, should labour to build up your auld Babel of iniquity, as in the bluidy persecuting saint-killing times?

Ewan of Brigglands again shrugged and groaned, but remained silent.
Before he became unconscious he murmured some lines from an old Scotch poem: "But hame came the saddle, all bluidy to see. And hame came the steed, but never hame came he."
