Nine hundred men, under Brigadier Mordaunt, were detached for this purpose. In one of the Highland fastnesses Lovat remained some time; but the blood-thirsty Cumberland was eager in pursuit.

On her right, and nearest to the two men, was Mr. Vincent Cawdor. "Now you can go and talk to your friends!" she exclaimed, lightly. "I am going to make Victor listen to me." Cawdor left his two companions and sank on to the couch by Rounceby's side.
All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Cawdor! 3rd Witch. All hail, Macbeth! thou shall be king hereafter. This is so accurate a dramatization of the parallel passage in Holinshed, and so entire in itself, that there is some temptation to ask whether it was not so written at first, and the interpolated lines subsequently inserted by the author.
The general was not a little startled to find himself known by such creatures; but how much more, when the second of them followed up that salute by giving him the title of thane of Cawdor, to which honour he had no pretensions; and again the third bid him 'All hail! king that shalt be hereafter!

Here lived Jeremy Taylor, having taken refuge there in the Civil War, and he here wrote some of his greatest works. Beyond Caermarthenshire is Pembrokeshire, forming the western extremity of the Welsh peninsula.
Then Banquo asked, "What of me?" and the third woman replied, "Thou shalt be the father of kings." "Tell me more," said Macbeth. "By my father's death I am chieftain of Glamis, but the chieftain of Cawdor lives, and the King lives, and his children live. Speak, I charge you!" The women replied only by vanishing, as though suddenly mixed with the air.

He was imbued by his uncle with liberal opinions, which he upheld throughout his life. On the death of Fox in 1807 he became Lord Privy Seal in the Grenville Ministry. In 1830 he was Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the Reform Cabinet of Lord Grey.
"Supposing some one followed us and pulled him out," Rounceby said, hoarsely, "why are we treated like this? I tell you we've been made fools of! We've been treated like children not even to be punished! We'll have the truth somehow out of that devil Cawdor! Come!" They made their way to the courtyard and found a cab. "Number 27, Southampton Row!" they ordered.
