The brook continued to be their companion, and they advanced up its mazes, crossing them now and then, on which occasions Evan Dhu uniformly offered the assistance of his attendants to carry over Edward; but our hero, who had been always a tolerable pedestrian, declined the accommodation, and obviously rose in his guide's opinion, by showing that he did not fear wetting his feet.
This proclamation was flashed over the wires throughout the Northern States, like the fiery cross of Rhoderick Dhu, which summoned his clansmen to their rendezvous, and it was everywhere received with the beating of drums and the ringing notes of the bugle, calling the defenders of the capital to their colors. Every city and hamlet had its flag-raising, while its enthusiasm was unbounded.
A fear worse than the fear of death grew upon her the fear that her mother's mind would give way at last, and that she would not know her son when he came. Even the fear that he might never come seemed easier to bear than this. Shenac Dhu helped her greatly at this time. Not that she was very cheerful herself, poor girl; but the quick, merry ways she would assume with her aunt did her good.
'I'se warrant he would go to his cousin's at Rannoch. 'Well, but if they followed him to Rannoch? 'That, quoth Evan, 'is beyond all belief; and, indeed, to tell you the truth, there durst not a Lowlander in all Scotland follow the fray a gun-shot beyond Bally-Brough, unless he had the help of the Sidier Dhu. 'Whom do you call so?
Mave remained silent; for she knew the insurmountable obstacles that prevented their union; but she wept afresh.

Evan Dhu exclaimed with some eagerness, after looking at the dragoons, These are the very chields that galloped off at Gladsmuir, before we could kill a dozen o' them. They look bold enough now, however. The priest entreated him to be silent. The sledge now approached, and Fergus, turning round, embraced Waverley, kissed him on each side of the face, and stepped nimbly into his place.
"Hamish," she said a little shamefacedly, "there will be no use vexing our mother by telling her all this." "That's true enough," said Hamish. "But mind, Hamish, I'm not sorry that I said it. I have aye meant to say something to Angus Dhu about the land; though I daresay it would have been as well to say it when that clattering body, Elder McMillan, was out of hearing."
In the autumn at Balmoral, Princess Louise, with the Queen's consent, became engaged to the Marquis of Lorne, eldest son of the Duke of Argyle. The proposal was made and accepted during a walk from the Glassalt Shiel to the Dhu Loch. In November the Queen visited the Empress at Chislehurst.
To visit such a family, was to find one's self confronted by a congress made up of representatives of the imperial myths and the majestic dead of all the ages. Come, come, come, Roderick Dhu, it isn't nice for little boys to hang onto young gentlemen's coat tails but never mind him, Washington, he's full of spirits and don't mean any harm. Children will be children, you know.
He must have held rank under Ghlune Dhu, his kinsman, but his active and audacious character placed him above the rest of his brethren. Many of his followers were unarmed; he supplied the want of guns and swords with scythe-blades set straight upon their handles. At the battle of Prestonpans, James Roy distinguished himself.
