A large body of men brought from Mar by Murray according to his uncle's orders, were amongst the first encamped on the Carse; and that part of Wallace's own particular band which he had left at Dumbarton, to recover their wounds, now, under the command of Stephen Ireland, rejoined their lord at Stirling.
Ban Wilson had every confidence in the Hawk, but finally the inaction grew too much for him to bear. "Jumping Jupiter, Carse!" he sputtered. " aren't you going to do anything? Use our rays! Try maneuvering to the side! Damn it, we're just letting them take us!" The adventurer might not have heard, for all the sign he gave.
Lar Tantril's voice again boomed from the broadcasting shell, and this time it was harsh with anger. "Try no tricks, Carse! I see what you intend. You plan to suddenly answer my ray, instead of continuing to resist it, and so drive right past me and escape.
"I! I wound and upbraid Lady Carse!" "Now, do not compel me to remind you of what you ought to know full well the deceitfulness of the human heart. Listen to me." Again Annie looked gently in his face. "I left that poor lady, already overwhelmed with misfortune, prostrated anew by your attack of this afternoon.
When the conspiring lords appeared on the Carse, and Mar communicated to them the lately discovered treason, they so well affected surprise at the contents of the scroll, that Wallace might not have suspected their connection with it, had not Lord Athol declared it altogether a forgery of some wanton persons, and then added with bitterness, "to gather an army on such authority is ridiculous."
Meanwhile Lady Carse was not yet out of their way. She had still voice to utter political secrets, and temper all eager to punish her foes. She had slipped away in the dark, thrown herself overboard when she found Rollo below, got drenched with sea-water and bruised against the rocks, but was safe in hiding again.
"I will send for you presently." The elder ones appeared glad to escape, and they carried with them the struggling Flora. Lady Rachel threw up the sash, crossed her arms, and said, in the most formal manner, "What do you want, Lady Carse?" "I want my children." "You cannot have them, as you well know. It is too late. I pity you; but it is too late." "I will see my children.
Seventy feet behind, a heavy shot-projector was pushed out on its little rollers from one of the doors. A hand reached out and whirled it so that its muzzle bore straight down the corridor at them. Carse shot at the hand, but the target was too small even for his fine eye, and he missed; Friday silenced an emboldened orange spot of light that was spitting streaks at them. Hopeless!
With Prince Charlie so near, there is no saying who is a Jacobite, and who is not. I will see the steward myself." Annie knew that this would fail; and so it did. The steward's dispositions were not improved by the lady's method of pleading. He told her that Sir Alexander's loyalty to King George had nothing to do with his pledge that Lord Carse should never more be troubled by her.
All they did was rise silently, as one, gazing at the adventurer out of blank eyes, saying nothing, and making no other move. Carse tried simple measures in dealing with them. His voice gentle yet firm, he said: "You must not try to obstruct me. You have seen me before under unfortunate conditions, yet I want you to know that I am really your friend.
