A horrible eternity passed. Again came the inhuman voice: "I have answered that question before. Yes." Dr. Ku broke the stunned silence that followed this verdict. "Don't forget that several ray-guns are centered on you, Carse," he remarked casually. "Others, black, are on you. Earthlings would no doubt consider your emotions very creditable; I only suggest that you keep them under control."
Then, in response to the delicate incline of her space-stick, she lifted sweetly from the crust of Iapetus and at ever-increasing speed burned through the satellite's atmosphere toward the limitless dark leagues beyond. The Hawk was on the trail! Carse took the first watch himself.
One reason is, that the carse of Stirling has been upheaved some twenty feet, and thereby more or less drained, since the time of the Romans. The alluvium of the fens, on the other hand, has very probably suffered a slight depression. But the main reason is, that the silt brought down by the fen rivers cannot, like that of the Forth and its neighbouring streams, get safe away to sea.
The three champions were Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwelton, Alexander Ferguson of Craigdarrock an eminent lawyer, and who must, I think, have been a grandson of Annie Laurie and Captain Riddell of Friar's Carse, antiquary and friend of Burns.
He remains by his opinion, and is willing to march at the head of his own followers, with those of the barons of Perth shire and the Carse, and either bring these Highlanders to reason or subjection, or leave the body of a Douglas among their savage wildernesses."
An assistant found the pulse in Leithgow's wrist, and another bent over him in such fashion that the prisoners could not see what he was doing. Ku Sui too bent over, something in his hands. The prelude to living death had begun.... At that moment Hawk Carse was a different man, recovered from the weakness that had made him cry out at his friend's imminent destruction a short time before.
This enterprise achieved, Wallace, with a host of prisoners, turned his steps toward the Forth; but ere he left the banks of the Tay and Dee, he detached three thousand men under the command of Lord Ruthven, giving him a commission to range the country from the Carse of Gowrie to remotest Sutherland, and in all that tract reduce every town and castle which had admitted a Southron garrison.
Lady Rachel was exerting herself to entertain her guests, and had sent for the children, when, to her inexplicable relief, the butler brought her the news that Lord Carse and his son Willie were home, and would appear with all speed. They had been detained two hours in a tavern, John said. "In a tavern?" "Yes, my lady. Could not get out. Did not wish to collect more people, to cause a mob.
"Falsely!" cried Rollo, springing to his feet. "My mother speak falsely! If you dare " "Gently, my boy," said Annie. "We have not heard what the lady means." "Be quiet, Rollo," said Lady Carse. "Your mother speaks falsely as regards me; but I do not say that it is not after her own kind that she speaks.
Lady Carse came laughing back to fetch them; but they bolted into the house, and, when still pursued, scrambled under a bed. When caught, they screamed. "Well, to be sure," cried their mother; "what behaviour when a lady asks you to go with her! I declare I am quite ashamed." Papa now came up, and said "My dears, I do not approve such behaviour as this."
