As to Cumberland's order for "No quarter," if any apology can be made for such brutality, it must be found in the fact that the Highland chiefs had on their side agreed to spare no captured enemy. The battle has also left a name commonly given to the nine of diamonds, which is called "the curse of Scotland," because it is said that on that card Cumberland wrote his bloodthirsty order.
Cover them close, let them simmer for half an hour, observing that they do not burn; then put in beef broth, stew it, and strain it off. CUMBERLAND PUDDING. To make what is called the Duke of Cumberland's pudding, mix six ounces of grated bread, the same quantity of currants well cleaned and picked, the same of beef suet finely shred, the same of chopped apples, and also of lump sugar.
A round English oath or two, and the burden of a campaign song, convinced him the hamlet also was occupied by the Duke of Cumberland's soldiers. Endeavouring to retire from it as softly as possible, and blessing the obscurity which hitherto he had murmured against, Waverley groped his way the best he could along a small paling, which seemed the boundary of some cottage garden.
It belongs to a respectable family. A family you must have heard about if you ever heard anything. There's a funeral there to-day " "Not Miss Cumberland's?" exclaimed Sweetwater, all agog in a moment. "Yes, Miss Cumberland's. I thought you might have heard the name." "Yes, I've heard it." The tone was dry, the words abrupt, but the detective's heart was dancing like a feather.
The moon shone that night, much to Sweetwater's discomforture. As he moved about the stable-yard, he momentarily expected to see the window of the alcove thrown up and to hear Mr. Cumberland's voice raised in loud command for him to quit the premises. But no such interruption came.
He could not understand why the secret was to be kept after the Duke of Cumberland's death, when there was no longer any danger that he would incur the risk of punishment for bigamy; and why the death of George III. should be fixed upon as the time for disclosing it.
"And they will be sitting by the fire, and I who was going to spend the night at the Duke of Cumberland's will appear, and after we have embraced, hey, presto I produce you Diana his adorée my daughter." "Sir," she said, "you are crowding me." "Sacré nom d'une pipe I beg your pardon, madame, but you must not push that box.
"They do say, Miss Merton, the English lady that made so much noise in New York let me see, Mr. Brigham, what Earl's grand-daughter did we hear she was? This was a most injudicious question, as it gave the husband an opportunity to take the word out of her mouth. "Lord Cumberland's, I believe, or some such person -but, no matter whose.
Brau mentions some documents in the Indian archives of Spain, from which it appears that another invasion of Puerto Rico took place a year after Cumberland's departure. On that occasion the governor and the garrison were carried off as prisoners, but as there was a cruel epidemic still raging in the island at the time the English did not stay.
Again, when the famous Inquest was held upon the body of the murdered SELLIS, in the Duke of Cumberland's apartments in the Palace, who, in Heaven's name, should be selected for the foreman of that jury which sat on the inquest, who but Tailor Place, of Charing Cross! The verdict was felo de se, and the body of poor Sellis was buried in a cross road!
