Neidlinger could be trusted now, and neither Higgins nor Gallagher would go far astray without a leader. But both the engineers had known of Bothwell's plans from the first. If I could have foreseen what effect the desertion of our second engineer was to have upon the expedition I would not have taken his disappearance so easily.
Mary was at Stirling when Lord Herries, taking advantage of Bothwell's momentary absence, threw himself at her feet, imploring her not to lose her honour by marrying her husband's murderer, which could not fail to convince those who still doubted it that she was his accomplice.
I CANNA chuse, but ever will Be luving to thy father still, Whaireir he gae, whaireir he ryde, My luve with him maun still abyde; In weil or wae, whaireir he gae, Mine heart can neir depart him frae. Lady Anne Bothwell's Lament.
An idea had popped into my head, one so bold that it might have been borrowed from Bothwell's lawless brain. "I say. Let's play this out with Captain Boris his own way. Let's just remind him we're on earth too." "Meaning " My eyes danced. "I'm as good a burglar as he is, and so are you." Blythe waited. "He doesn't give a tinker's dam for the law," I continued. "Good enough!
The sight of her stirred in Bothwell's heart an emotion he had never wholly conquered, for she, Mary herself, was his first love of the bygone days in France. He had begun to realise that he loved her still; he knew the coldness of her relations with the dissolute and unfaithful Darnley, her husband; now she had come to Hermitage.
Bothwell was strong, she thought, and he was the father of her unborn child; be might protect her. So by Bothwell's side she rode out at the head of the border clansmen, and met the rebel army at Carberry Hill, hard by Edinburgh.
The Queen was forthwith imprisoned in Lochleven Castle; and just at this time the famous casket of letters from Mary to Bothwell was seized, in the custody of a servant of Bothwell's.
Why, I might have shot half of you before Higgins could say Jack Robinson." It showed how ripe they were for my purpose that at the mention of Bothwell's name two or three growled curses at him. "He got us into this, he did; promised us a fortune if we'd join him," Gallagher said sulkily. "And no blood shed, Mr. Sedgwick. That's wot 'e promised," whined the cook.
This factor that came so inopportunely into her life was her regard for the arrogant, unscrupulous Earl of Bothwell. Her hand was stayed by fear that men should say that for Bothwell's sake she had rid herself of a husband become troublesome.
"Fortunately it won't be necessary to send the delegation, since your captain has come down to join you." The voice was Bothwell's; so, too, were the ironic insolence, the sardonic smile, the air of contemptuous mastery that sat so lightly on him.
