'Were you not during that night in the ruins of Derncleugh? in the ruins of Derncleugh, sir? 'I have told you that I do not intend answering that question, replied Bertram.
"I beg leave," said Bertram, his recollection turning to the gipsy female, and to the promise he had given her, "I beg leave to decline answering that question." "I thought as much," said Sir Robert. "Were you not during that night in the ruins of Derncleugh? in the ruins of Derncleugh, sir?" "I have told you that I do not intend answering that question," replied Bertram.
'And in this country? 'And in this country. She was at the Kaim of Derncleugh, at Vanbeest Brown's last wake, as they call it, the other night, with two of my people, and some of her own blasted gipsies. 'That's another breaker ahead, Captain! Will she not squeak, think ye?
It was in this twilight humour, now thinking of the loss of the child, then involuntarily compelled to meditate upon the somewhat incongruous subject of hung beef, rolls, and butter, that his route, which was different from that which he had taken in the morning, conducted him past the small ruined tower, or rather vestige of a tower, called by the country people the Kaim of Derncleugh.

'Donner! that howff is blown. 'The devil! well, then, you may steal my skiff that lies on the beach there, and away. But you must remain snug at the Point of Warroch till I come to see you.
From curiosity, or rather from the feeling that his duty called him to scenes of distress, this gentleman had come to the Kaim of Derncleugh, and now presented himself.
