Nearer Inverness, we have Balveny, Castle-Stewart, and Cawdor. The same foreign influence is exhibited in our street architecture, some specimens of which are engraved in the work to which we have referred.
The last days of the notorious Lord Lovat are associated with some of the old houses in the north. Cawdor Castle, Nairnshire, and Netherwhitton, in Northumberland, claim the honour of hiding this double-faced traitor prior to his arrest. At the former is a small chamber near the roof, and in the latter is a hiding-place measuring eight feet by three and ten feet high.
Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! into such French as 'Comment vous portez vous, Monsieur Macbeth; comment vous portez vous, Monsieur Thane de Cawdor! A translation must pass through the medium of another mind, and other minds like Shakspeare's are hard to find."
Three o'clock struck by the little timepiece on the mantel shelf. A little exclamation of a profane nature broke from Rounceby's lips. He leaned toward his companion. "Say," he muttered, in a rather thick undertone, "how about this fellow Vincent Cawdor? You haven't any doubts about him, I suppose? He's on the square, all right, eh?" Marnstam wet his lips nervously. "Cawdor's all right," he said.
She looked at him with parted lips. Her eyes were full of eager questioning. "Mere skirmishing," Peter Ruff continued, "but I think yes, I think that it may lead to something." "Whom am I to watch?" she asked. "Any one who looks interesting," Peter Ruff answered. "For instance, if this person Vincent Cawdor should be about." "He would recognize me!" she declared.
Vincent Cawdor might be a person of some importance. "What is a commission agent?" she asked. Peter Ruff shook his head. "It might mean anything," he declared. "Never trust any one who is not a little more explicit as to his profession. I am afraid that this Mr. Vincent Cawdor, for instance, is a bad lot." "I am sure he is," Miss Brown declared.
It has a long and pretentious history, reaching back to the Romans, and dashed with the romance of the wild ages of the country. Oliver Cromwell, or Sledgehammer II., Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor, Queen Mary, Prince Charlie, and other historical celebrities, entered their names and doings on the records of this goodly town.
Why is it, Dorian, that a man like the Duke of Berwick leaves the room of a club when you enter it? Why is it that so many gentlemen in London will neither go to your house nor invite you to theirs? You used to be a friend of Lord Cawdor. I met him at dinner last week. Your name happened to come up in conversation, in connection with the miniatures you have lent to the exhibition at the Dudley.
A big hotel like this is the safest and the most dangerous place in the world just how you choose to make it. You've got to bluff 'em all the time. That's why I brought the young lady particular friend of mine real nice girl, too!" "And the young man?" Rounceby asked, suspiciously. Cawdor grew more serious.
He had married a young Scottish lady, Miss Lyon, whose family included the Earls of Strathmore, among whose titles were those of Glamis and Cawdor mentioned by Shakespeare in "Macbeth." As we have already seen, only one of the four sons of the President of Mayence the hero of the Bidassoa had left descendants.
