A circumstance arrested Ellangowan's progress on the highroad to ruin. This was his marriage with a lady who had a portion of about four thousand pounds. Nobody in the neighbourhood could conceive why she married him and endowed him with her wealth, unless because he had a tall, handsome figure, a good set of features, a genteel address, and the most perfect good-humour.
'Marry, hang her, brock! said the Counsellor, borrowing an exclamation from Sir Toby Belch; 'just the month in which Ellangowan's distresses became generally public. But let us hear what she has done. Mr. Protocol accordingly, having required silence, began to read the settlement aloud in a slow, steady, business-like tone.
When matters came to this point, the gipsies, without scruple, entered upon measures of retaliation. Ellangowan's hen-roosts were plundered, his linen stolen from the lines or bleaching-ground, his fishings poached, his dogs kidnapped, his growing trees cut or barked. Much petty mischief was done, and some evidently for the mischief's sake.

'Ay, ay, answered Glossin, 'and now I must call in the men. He did so accordingly. 'I can make nothing of Captain Jansen, as he calls himself, Mac- Guffog, and it's now too late to bundle him off to the county jail. Is there not a strong room up yonder in the old castle? 'Ay is there, sir; my uncle the constable ance kept a man there for three days in auld Ellangowan's time.

Glossin had a vote upon Ellangowan's property; and he was now determined that his patron should have one also, there being no doubt which side Mr. Bertram would embrace in the contest.
