"And so it wass, and a letter came from his captain, who wass of Cluny's blood, and it will be read in church, and a fery proud woman wass my sister." These were the stories that Janet told to her minister in the days before the Carnegies came home, as well as afterwards, and so she prepared him to be an easier prey to a soldier's daughter.
The cook at the governor's, when he had purchased the eggs on the previous day, had bade him call again, as Cluny's prices were considerably below those in the market. It was late in the afternoon when he again approached the house. The sentry at the gate asked no question, seeing a girl with a basket, and Cluny went round again to the door of the kitchen.
The one stain on Cameron's memory, thrown, as on Cluny's, by Young Glengarry, may be reckoned as effaced. Whatever really occurred as to the Loch Arkaig treasure, it did not destroy the Prince's confidence in the last man who laid down his life for the White Rose. Before Archy Cameron's death, young Edgar had written thus from Lille to old Edgar in Rome: 'May 2, 1753.
It was a grey day, with a cool, mild air: and I sat in a dream all morning, only disturbed by the passing by of Cluny's scouts and servants coming with provisions and reports; for, as the coast was at that time clear, you might almost say he held court openly.
"Belward, don't take me for a fool. Why, my trying what you go to do is like is like " Cluny's similes failed to come. "Like a fox and a deer on the same trail?" "I don't understand that. Like a yeomanry steeplechase to Sandown is that it? Belward, I'm sorry. Playing it so low on a chap you like!" "Don't say a word, Cluny; and, believe me, you haven't yet seen all of It. There's plenty of time.
"It is a matter that would make us both rich men," said James. "Do ye tell me that?" cries Alan. "I do, sir," said James. "The plain fact is that it is Cluny's Treasure." "No!" cried Alan. "Have ye got word of it?" "I ken the place, Mr. Stewart, and can take you there," said James. "This crowns all!" says Alan. "Well, and I'm glad I came to Dunkirk. And so this was your business, was it?
Cluny's boast was its school and the splendour of its ceremonies and services; God was served with a marvellous dignity and luxury undreamed of before, and unequalled since Cluny declined.
It was some time before his companions overtook him, for they were at first too convulsed by laughter at Cluny's extraordinary appearance to be able to run. But presently, sobered by the conviction that something of extreme importance must have happened, they too started at their best speed, and presently came up with Cluny, upon whose pace the mile he had already run told heavily.
From the three thousand lines of Bernard of Cluny's poem, "De Contemptu Mundi," famous since the twelfth century, and made music with the mellowness of its own Latin rhyme, Mrs. Isabella G. Parker, the composer's mother, has translated 210 lines.
"That sounds religious, doesn't it a kind of Nonconformist business? I think she's the very finest. A fellow'd hold himself up, 'd be a deuce of a swell and, hang it all, I hate breakfasting alone!" "Yes, yes, Cluny; but what about a pew in church, with regular attendance, and a justice of the peace, and little Cluny Vosses on the carpet?" Cluny's face went crimson.
