"Lord Evandale?" answered the old lady, "that's him that the whigs are gaun to hang the morn, as I hear say." "The whigs about to hang Lord Evandale?" said Morton, in the greatest surprise. "Ay, troth are they," said the housekeeper. These are sair times! but folk canna help them sae do ye sit down and tak bread and cheese until better meat's made ready.
"With a strong body of horse, commanded by the devil incarnate that killed Bothwell," answered the terrified soldier. "Hush! hush!" said Claverhouse, putting his finger on his lips, "not a word to any one but me. Lord Evandale, we must retreat. The fates will have it so. Draw together the men that are dispersed in the skirmishing work.
A slight convulsion passed through her whole frame, and she lay still very still. The confession, great or small, that she had made had been heard only by Enid and her God. "It is all over," said Maurice Evandale, looking gravely at the dead woman's face. "It is all over, and may God have mercy upon her soul!"
They acknowledge no laws of war. Their leaders, who have been all most active in the murder of the Archbishop of St Andrews, fight with a rope round their necks, and are likely to kill the messenger, were it but to dip their followers in loyal blood, and to make them as desperate of pardon as themselves." "I will go myself," said Evandale, "if you will permit me.
As they cleared away the slab in order to pass their crow-bars under it, for Lord Evandale had ordered that nothing should be broken, they turned up in the sand innumerable small statuettes a few inches in height, of blue and green enamelled ware, of admirable workmanship, tiny funeral statuettes deposited there as offerings by parents and friends, just as we place flowers on the thresholds of our funeral chapels; only, our flowers wither, while after more than three thousand years these witnesses of long bygone griefs are found intact, for Egypt worked for eternity only.
He would do what he could to save her! There was something imperious in his heart which would not let him hold his tongue. "Trust you? Oh, yes I could trust you with anything!" said Enid, half unconscious of the full meaning of her words. "Do you understand me?" said Mr. Evandale.
Evandale was disposed to think that she had been occasionally put under the influence of some drug by Mrs. Vane, and that Mrs. Vane had either wished to remove her altogether from her path or undermine her health and intellect completely. At a later date she had grown tired of this method, and tried to take a quicker way; but in this attempt she had been foiled.
"Hear me, my lord," said Morton. "I believe you may not be unwilling to bear the olive branch between our master the King, and that part of his subjects which is now in arms, not from choice, but necessity." "You construe me but justly," said Lord Evandale; "but to what does this tend?" "Permit me, my lord" continued Morton.
But, alas! betraying Lord Evandale's young blood to his enemies' sword wad ne'er hae brought my Ninian and Johnie alive again." "Lord Evandale?" said Morton, in surprise. "Was it Lord Evandale whose life you saved?" "In troth, even his," she replied. "And kind he was to me after, and gae me a cow and calf, malt, meal, and siller, and nane durst steer me when he was in power.
"Allan," he said, as soon as he had rendered the men in some degree more steady, "lead them slowly down the hill to support Lord Evandale, who is about to need it very much. Bothwell, thou art a cool and a daring fellow" "Ay," muttered Bothwell, "you can remember that in a moment like this."
