You might leave a certain sum to these Bruces or if, on inquiry, you found among them any child whom you approved, you could adopt him as your heir, and he could take the name Montgomerie." "No," replied the ear, decisively, "that name is ended. All I have to consider is my own people here my tenants and servants.
And now, sir, if you send the case for trial, and suppose the government succeed by the juries they are able to empanel here, with 'Fenian' ticketed on the backs of the accused by the real governors of the country the Heygates and the Bruces and if it is declared by you that in this land of mourning it has become at last criminal even to mourn what a victory for the crown!
"I wouldn't worry my head about such things, if I were you, Nancy. We all like you quite as well as we should if you had a family as big as the Bruces'."
In Easter week, 1317, Roger Mortimer, afterwards Earl of March, nearly allied to the English King on the one hand, and maternally descended from the Marshals and McMurroghs on the other, arrived at Youghal, as Lord Justice, released the Earl of Ulster on reaching Dublin, and prepared to dispute the progress of the Bruces towards the South.
He had seen through the maternal precautions the last time he was at home, and talking with Cupples about it, who secretly wished for no better luck than that Alec should fall in love with Annie, had his feelings strengthened as to the unkindness, if not injustice, of throwing her periodically into such a dungeon as the society of the Bruces.
There were three Robert Bruces living at the time of the judgment at Norham the father, Lord of Annandale; the son, Earl of Carrick; and the grandson, still a child.
On me, therefore, depends the charge of this poor infant the sole bar between those penniless, grasping, altogether discreditable Bruces, and the large property of Cairnforth. You see my position, gentlemen?" It was not an easy one, and no wonder the honest man looked much troubled.
The Nevilles, lords of Raby and earls of Westmoreland, held Bywell at this time; before that it was in the hands of the Balliols, of Scottish fame, who, like the Bruces, were Norman knights high in favour with their kings, Norman and Plantagenet, though they afterwards became their most determined foes. Long before the advent of the Normans, a church was built here by St. Wilfrid, and in it St.
Somehow or other, at all events, she made up her mind to bear more patiently the persecutions of the little Bruces, and, if ever her turn should come to be punished, as no doubt it would, whether she deserved it or not, to try to take the whipping as she had seen Alec Forbes take it. Poor Annie! If it should come to that nervous organizations are so different!
In his last moments he pronounced the doom of the Stuart dynasty "It came with a lass," he exclaimed, "and it will go with a lass," And thus it happened that the image of Ireland, which unfolds the first scene of the War of the Roses, which is inseparable from the story of the two Bruces, and which occupies so much of the first and last years of the Tudor dynasty, stands mournfully by the deathbed of the last Stuart King who reigned in Scotland the only Prince of his race that had ever written under his name the title of "Dominus Hiberniae."
