It was not natural mirth, but seemed to be affected in order to conceal an angrier feeling. We both turned, though I still kept my left arm about Clara's waist; nor did she seek to withdraw herself; and there, a few paces off upon the beach, stood Northmour, his head lowered, his hands behind his back, his nostrils white with passion. "Ah! Cassilis!" he said, as I disclosed my face.
And then, he had set her down, she was free, and he was looking at her with a new-found radiance in his eyes. "Anthea!" he said, wonderingly, "why then you do ?" But, as he spoke, she hid her face in her hands. "Anthea!" he repeated. "Oh!" she whispered, "I hate you! despise you! Oh! you shall be paid back, every penny, every farthing, and very soon! Next week I marry Mr. Cassilis!"
I remember I wanted to bet Cassilis, at White's, on it when he married; but I thought, being his intimate friend; the oldest friend he has, indeed, and one of his trustees; it was perhaps as well not to do it. 'You should have made the bet with himself, said Lord Eskdale, 'and then there never would have been a separation. 'Hah, hah, hah! Do you know, I feel the wind?
My name is Cassilis Frank Cassilis. I lead the life of a vagabond for my own good pleasure. I am one of Northmour's oldest friends; and three nights ago, when I addressed him on these links, he stabbed me in the shoulder with a knife." "It was you!" she said. "Why he did so," I continued, disregarding the interruption, "is more than I can guess, and more than I care to know.
The plot for Beaton's murder was in 1545 negotiated between Henry and Cassilis, backed by George Douglas; and Crichton of Brunston, as before, was engaged, a godly laird in Lothian. In August the Douglases boast that, as Henry's friends, they have frustrated an invasion of England with a large French contingent, which they pretended to lead, while they secured its failure.
And straightway she blushed, and then she laughed, and then she blushed again, and, still blushing, rose to her feet, and turned to find Mr. Cassilis within a yard of them. "Ah, Miss Anthea," said he, lifting his hat, "I sent Georgy to find you, but it seems he forgot to mention that I was waiting." "I'm awful' sorry, Mr.
'No, that blew over, said Mr. Melton; 'it was Trautsmansdorff the row was about. All this time Mr. Ormsby, as the friend of Lord and Lady Monmouth, remained shaking his head; but as a member of society, and therefore delighting in small scandal, appropriating the gossip with the greatest avidity. 'I should think old Monmouth was not the sort of fellow to blow up a woman, said Mr. Cassilis.
The marquis of Argyle accompanied the invaders, nominally as Colonel of a troop of horse; and among the other colonels of foot or horse were the Earls of Cassilis, Lindsay, Loudoun, Buccleugh, Dunfermline, Lothian, Marischal, Eglinton, and Dalhousie. V. 604-7; Parl. Hist. The condition on which the Scots had consented thus to aid the English Parliament must not be forgotten.
May God in heaven bless and reward them for it!" I gave him my hand, of course, because I could not help it; but the sympathy I had been prepared to feel for Clara's father was immediately soured by his appearance, and the wheedling, unreal tones in which he spoke. "Cassilis is a good man," said Northmour; "worth ten." "So I hear," cried Mr. Huddlestone eagerly; "so my girl tells me. Ah, Mr.
"I fear I cannot answer that question until the full o' the moon, sir, at present, I grieve to say, I do not know." Mr. Cassilis struck his riding-boot a sudden smart rap with his whip; his eyes snapped, and his nostrils dilated, as he glanced down into Bellew's imperturbable face.
