They parted, and Cleave presently heard the rapid hoofbeat overtake the Silver Hill coach and at once change to a slower rhythm. "Now he is speaking with her through the window!" The sound of wheel and hoof died away. Cleave shook Dundee's reins and went on toward Lauderdale.
He kept as far from his master as he could and was careful not to obtrude himself or offer to resume a servant's duty. Dundee's face hardened at the sight of him, but he said no word, and Jock made no approach. With wise discretion he remained at a distance, and seemed anxious to be forgotten, but he had his own plan of operations.
"Tune?" Dundee gasped. "Do you mean Nita Selim's song?" Flora Miles seemed to be dazed by Dundee's vehement question. "Why, yes Nita's own tune. That's what she called it her own tune " "But, Mrs. Miles," Dundee protested, ashamed that his scalp was prickling with horror, "do you mean to tell me that Nita was not dead then when Karen Marshall screamed?" "Dead?" Flora repeated, more bewildered.
Undoubtedly Strawn would have dismissed the note as the work of a crank, not hitting upon the fact that it had been written in that very room, on Dundee's own typewriter and stationery.

"Flirt with you, you funny little Penny?" Dundee's voice was a little sad, the voice of a man who finds himself grievously misunderstood.
But that he did make a demonstration of some sort against the town is proved by the Minutes of the Estates. None of his previous despatches from the Highlands are in existence. Robert Young of Auldbar had married Dundee's youngest sister, Anne. The Duke of Gordon surrendered the Castle of Edinburgh on June 13th, after a resistance which towards the end assumed the character almost of a burlesque.
"Of course I recognized his voice instantly when he said, 'That you, Penny? and it's a wonder I didn't scream," said Penny Crain, fighting her way up through dazed bewilderment to explain in detail, in answer to Dundee's pelting questions.
Mind you," went on Balcarres hastily, as he saw the black gloom gathering on Dundee's face, "I say not that is my way of it, for I am with you while ony hope remains, but we maun do justice." "Justice!" broke in Claverhouse, irritated beyond control by Balcarres's apologies and his hint of compromise.
