Captain Ross and his brother officer secured the swords of both men shutting the stable door, indeed, after the steed was stolen; in hot haste doctors were sent for; and 'mid the bustle and "strow" Eliott stumbled from the room and down the stair, "wanting his wig," as the landlady, whom he passed on the way, deponed.
In a thick wood near the head of Rulewater Sir Gilbert Eliott lay concealed, till his friends succeeded in smuggling him aboard a small craft off the coast of Berwickshire, and an outlaw, with a warrant out against him, he lived an uneasy life in Holland for some years, until influential friends with difficulty got him pardon, and enabled him again to return to the Border.
Eliott. But for her slender acquaintance with his sister, he would never have known Anne. This made him feel that he knew Mrs. Eliott. "But I want you to know her as I know her." He laughed. "Is that possible? Does a man ever know a woman as another woman knows her?" Anne felt that she was not only being diverted from her purpose, but led by a side tract to an unexplored profundity.
Through the Suez Canal the Sunbeam passed into the Mediterranean, "whose shores are empires," touching at Malta and at "the Rock," which the enterprise of Sir George Rorke gave, and the patient courage of General Eliott preserved, to England.
That no misrepresentation of any person's testimony might be made, Matthew Montagu, esquire, and the honourable E.J. Eliott, members of parliament, undertook to compare the abridged manuscripts with the original text, and to strike out or correct whatever they thought to be erroneous, and to insert whatever they thought to have been omitted.
And then the high old times were over for good; for years the Sofala had made no more, he judged, than a fair living. Captain Eliott looked upon it as his duty in every way to assist an English ship to hold her own; and it stood to reason that if for want of a captain the Sofala began to miss her trips she would very soon lose her trade. There was the quandary. The man was too impracticable.
Eliott would have been scandalised if she had known the real Dr. Gardner's opinion of her. "I wonder," said she, "what will become of Anne's ideal." "It's safe," said the doctor. "She hasn't realised it." "I wonder, then, what will become of Anne." Mrs. Pooley retreated altogether before this gross application of transcendent truth. She had not come to Mrs. Eliott's to talk about Mrs. Majendie.
Eliott had developed in a quite remarkable degree the protective colouring of stupidity. "How can she?" said Miss Proctor. "She's a saint herself, and she ought to know the difference." "Perhaps," said Dr. Gardner, "that's why she doesn't." "I'm sure," said Mrs. Eliott, "it was the original attraction. There could be no other for Anne." "The attraction was the opportunity for self-sacrifice.
Pooley apparently wished to be ignored. "I want," said she, "the latest news of Anne." "If you wait, you may get it from herself." "My dear, do you suppose she'd give it me?" "It depends," said Mrs. Eliott, "on what you want to know." "I want to know whether she's happy. I want to know whether, by this time, she knows." "You can't ask her." "Of course I can't. That's why I'm asking you."
For four years the laird laboured to attain his end, and a blithe man was he when, in 1774, he got Eliott of Stobs and Douglas of Douglas to side with him and wipe out for evermore the kirk and parish of Abbotrule.
