"I've had the same experience myself." "The Grove?" I said. "Ay, the wud," was the answer in broad Scots. I wanted to see how much he understood. "Mr. Lawson's family is from the Scottish Border?" "Ay. I understand they come off Borthwick Water side," he replied, but I saw by his eyes that he knew what I meant. "Mr.
The king and queen were at table with Lord Borthwick, who was entertaining them, when suddenly it was announced that a large body of armed men was surrounding the castle: Bothwell and Mary suspected that they were aimed at, and as they had no means of resistance, Bothwell dressed himself as a squire, Mary as a page, and both immediately taking horse, escaped by one door just as the Confederates were coming in by the other.
In the meantime the Confederates, after having failed at Borthwick, not feeling strong enough to attack Bothwell at Dunbar, marched upon Edinburgh, where they had an understanding with a man of whom Bothwell thought himself sure.
Henry Borthwick had adopted this view emphatically at the outset of his clerical career, and had announced his intention of adhering to it for the rest of his life.
His wife received me better than I deserved, for I have been a sad neglectful visitor. She has a very pleasant countenance. Some of the Circuit lawyers dined here, namely R. Dundas, Borthwick, the facetious Peter Robertson, Mr. R. Adam Dundas, and with them Henry Scott of Harden. September 21. Our party breakfasted late, and I was heavy-headed, and did not rise till eight.

"Whether Spanish or any other ship, we'll try what brave hearts and stout hands can do to help the unfortunates on board her," said the fine old seaman, Captain Maitland, as he hurried out of the house.

After Court Anne set out for Abbotsford with the Miss Kerrs. I came off at three o'clock to Arniston, where I found Lord Register and lady, R. Dundas and lady, Robt. Adam Dundas, Durham of Calderwood and lady, old and young friends. Charles came with me. December 23. Went to church to Borthwick with the family, and heard a well-composed, well-delivered, sensible discourse from Mr.
Now, I do not assert, that the protests of the Anti-Slavery Society will end in the re-enactment of the Slave-Trade by the British Parliament. But the last and present Sessions of Imperial Parliament, show symptoms of our country abandoning Africa, after the labours of half a century, to all the horrors of the Slave-Trade. Mr. P. Borthwick and Mr.
Meg made a bad exchange when she left Elibank with the salmon pool at its foot for bleak Harden, frowning over the narrow "den" where Harden kept the plundered cattle. There is no fishing in the tiny Harden burn, that joins the brawling Borthwick Water. The burns of the Lowlands are now almost barren of trout. The spawning fish, flabby and useless, are killed in winter.
