The wilful Prince stepped into the boat with Dwining and Ramorny, and, waiting for no other attendance, Eviot pushed off the vessel, which descended the Tay rapidly by the assistance of sail and oar and of the ebb tide. For some space the Duke of Rothsay appeared silent and moody, nor did his companions interrupt his reflections.
Gowrie retreated, drew a pair of 'twin swords, and, accompanied by Cranstoun and others, made his way into the quadrangle of his house. At the foot of a small dark staircase they saw the body of a man lying wounded or dead. Cranstoun now rushed up the dark stairs, followed by Gowrie, two Ruthvens, Hew Moncrieff, Patrick Eviot, and perhaps others.
"But be it so, the priests say we are all of one common earth. I cannot tell, there seems to me some difference; but the better mould shall keep faith with the baser, and thou shalt have thy revenge. Call thou my page hither." A young man made his appearance from the anteroom upon the physician's summons. "Eviot," said the knight, "does Bonthron wait? and is he sober?"
What say you, Eviot? will you be the faithful follower that will quaff in your lord's behalf, and as his representative? Do this, and we will hold ourselves contented to depart, for, methinks, our subject doth look something ghastly."
"Never saw men who showed less stomach to the work," answered Dwining "never. But here come a brace of them. Venit extrema dies. He, he, he!" Eviot and his companion Buncle now approached, with sullen resolution in their faces, like men who had made their minds up to resist that authority which they had so long obeyed. "How now!" said Ramorny, stepping forward to meet them.
Also, and as an additional cause of dissolution, the lungs no longer receive the needful supply of the vital air, owing to the ligature of the cord around the thorax; and hence the patient perishes." "I understand that well enough. But how is such a revulsion of blood to the brain to be prevented, sir mediciner?" said the third person, who was no other than Ramorny's page, Eviot.
He was a rare fellow before a Southron bill laid his brain pan bare; but since that time he talks gibberish whenever the cup has crossed his lips. Said the leech aught to you, Eviot?" "Nothing, save to reiterate his commands that your honour be not disturbed." "Which thou must surely obey," said the knight. "I feel the summons to rest, of which I have been deprived since this unhappy wound.
Valentine's; it is now Fastern's Even, and the desertion is flat disobedience and treason to our kingdom of mirth and the statutes of the calabash." Ramorny raised his head, and fixed a wavering eye upon the Prince; then signed to Eviot to give him something to drink. A large cup of ptisan was presented by the page, which the sick man swallowed with eager and trembling haste.
"It is avenged in small part," said Ramorny "that is, I thought I saw Bonthron but now; or was it that the dream of hell that first arose in my mind when I awakened summoned up an image so congenial? Eviot, call the miscreant that is, if he is fit to appear."
Aboard aboard, and speedily; let Eviot throw in a few flasks of the choicest wine, and some cold baked meats." "But your arm, my lord, Sir John? Does it not pain you?" "The throbbing of my heart silences the pain of my wound. It beats as it would burst my bosom." "Heaven forbid!" said Dwining; adding, in a low voice "It would be a strange sight if it should.
