"I'm afraid I am, nephew." "Do you really mean that you want to marry my Auntie Anthea?" "I do." "As much as Mr. Cassilis does?" "A great deal more, I think." Small Porges sighed again, and shook his head very gravely indeed: "Uncle Porges," said he, "I'm s'prised at you!" "I rather feared you would be, nephew." "It's all so awful' silly, you know! why do you want to marry her?"
Cassilis. 'All the women are in love with him, they say. Lady Eleanor Ducie quite raves about him. 'By-the-bye, his grandfather has been very unwell, said Mr. Ormsby, looking mysteriously. 'I saw Lady Monmouth here just now, said Mr. Melton. 'Oh! he is quite well again, said Mr. Ormsby. 'Got an odd story at White's that Lord Monmouth was going to separate from her, said Mr. Cassilis.
To their shame be it said he induced a number of the Scottish nobles, the Douglasses, the Earls of Cassilis, Glencairn, Bothwell, and Angus, together with many others, to agree to his designs and to promise their assistance. Unmindful of their duty to Scotland they consented to sell both their country and their religion for English gold.
"And what is the amount of your little investment in consols altogether, Ormsby?" "Well, I believe I top Montfort," said Mr. Ormsby with a complacent smile, "but then you know, I am not a swell like you; I have no land." "Lady Montfort, thirty thousand a year," said Mr. Cassilis musingly. "She is only thirty. She is a woman who will set the Thames on fire, but she will never marry.
Next day she came out about the same hour alone, and, as soon as the sand-hills concealed her from the pavilion, drew nearer to the edge, and called me by name in guarded tones. I was astonished to observe that she was deadly pale, and seemingly under the influence of strong emotion. "Mr. Cassilis!" she cried; "Mr. Cassilis!" I appeared at once, and leaped down upon the beach.
Grey sang an English song about the north-country maid who came to London, and a bit of the chanty of the Devon men who sacked Santa Fe and stole the Almirante's daughter. As for Elspeth, she sang to a soft Scots tune the tale of the Lady of Cassilis who followed the gipsy's piping. In it the gipsy tells of what he can offer the lady, and lo! it was our own case!
Meanwhile the two Douglases skulked with the murderous traitor Cassilis in Ayrshire, and Henry tried to induce French deserters from the Scottish flag to murder Beaton and Arran. Beaton could scarcely escape for ever from so many plots.
She commands your instant attendance. What, man! do you hesitate? I shall lose my head an our sovereign lady be not instantly obeyed." The girl with the gray eyes greeted us with smiling unconcern. "Do you know my uncle?" she asked, and we were forthwith presented to his Excellency Baron Cassilis, the Russian ambassador to the United States.
He seemed annoyed by the question, but admitted with reluctance that he had a little. "Well," I continued, "it is their money they are after, is it not? Why not give it up to them?" "Ah!" replied he, shaking his head, "I have tried that already, Mr. Cassilis; and alas! that it should be so, but it is blood they want." "Huddlestone, that's a little less than fair," said Northmour.
It should be distributed PRO RATA among all my creditors." "Come now, Huddlestone," said Northmour, "none of that." "Well, but my daughter," moaned the wretched man. "Your daughter will do well enough. Here are two suitors, Cassilis and I, neither of us beggars, between whom she has to choose.
