"'They have shot the regimental officers, and have put to death every European they could find. "'They are now on their way to Delhi to proclaim Dahbur Dhu, thy grandfather, sovereign of Hindustan. "'The Moghul is old. "'Thou art next in succession. "There was no signature.
"If you cared for Evan it would be different; but I am very glad you do not." "I might come to care for him in time," said Shenac, a little wearily. "But I never thought about him in that way till till Angus Dhu spoke to me." "Angus Dhu!" exclaimed Hamish. "Yes and frightened me out of my wits," said Shenac, laughing a little. "I never answered a word, and maybe he thinks that I am willing.
"Mother," said Dan, as he came in to his dinner one day, "have you any message to The Sixteenth? I am going over to McLay's raising to-morrow." "But, Dan, my lad, the barley is losing; and, for all that you could do at the putting up of the barn, it hardly seems worth your while to go so far," said his mother. Shenac had not come in yet, but Shenac Dhu, who had come over on a message, was there.
After this refreshment, which, though coarse, fatigue and hunger rendered palatable, steaks, roasted on the coals, were supplied in liberal abundance, and disappeared before Even Dhu and their host with a promptitude that seemed like magic, and astonished Waverley, who was much puzzled to reconcile their voracity with what he had heard of the abstemiousness of the Highlanders.
A strong case was therefore made out by this plausible intriguer. In a few days after the affair of Drum Dhu, honest Val contrived to receive secret information of the existence of certain illegal papers which clearly showed that there existed a wide and still spreading conspiracy in the country. As yet, he said, he could not ground any proceeding of a definite character upon them.
Shenac Dhu gave the whole a finishing touch as she drew round her cousin's not very slender waist a black band fastened with a silver clasp an heirloom in the family since the time that the Macivors used to wear the Highland garb among their native hills. "Now walk away and let us see you," said she, giving her a gentle push.
"Next year I'll weave it myself," said Shenac, coming back again. "You need not laugh, Shenac Dhu. You'll see." "Yes, I daresay. And where will you get your loom?" And Shenac Dhu put up both hands and made-believe to cut her hair. Shenac Bhan shook her head at her. "I can learn to weave; you'll see. Anybody can learn anything if they try," said Shenac.
It is probable, however, that no very nice inquiry would have been made into the title of the French possessors, and that it would have been considered a case in which, to use the language of Roderick Dhu, it was perfectly justifiable 'To spoil the spoiler as we may, And from the robber rend his prey.
The excursion was to the head of the loch, which joins the Dhu or Black Loch. "Real severe Highland scenery," her Majesty calls it, and to those who know the stern sublimity of such places, the words say a great deal. "The boat, the net, and the people in their kilts in the water and on the shore," called for an artist's pencil. Seventy trouts were caught, and several hawks were seen.
'The Sidier Dhu? the black soldier; that is what they call the independent companies that were raised to keep peace and law in the Highlands. Vich Ian Vohr commanded one of them for five years, and I was sergeant mysell, I shall warrant ye. They call them Sidier Dhu because they wear the tartans, as they call your men King George's men Sidier Roy, or red soldiers.
