Thou knowest what king I mean. May the crown sit long upon his head! As for that young man who has come among us to seek an earthly crown, we beseech Thee to take him to Thyself, and give him a crown of glory!" "Ah, what a pity the Bonnie Prince had not died after his meteor victory at Falkirk!" exclaimed Jean Dalziel, when we had finished laughing at Mr. Macdonald's story.
The rest will be dinner. 'And you will reverse that, said Wych Hazel, 'little dinner and much fish. 'Depends, said Rollo. 'I am going to look after Mr. Falkirk, if he is in my neighbourhood. 'Look after him! Let him learn how it feels? she said, with a laugh. 'Not just in that sense, said Rollo, smiling. 'Only keep him from getting lost in the woods.
Was I a bit like your old ideal "a woman" and "brave"? Or was I only a girl, and very foolish? They were so silent, these men! it tried her. Did they, in their worldly wisdom, see any better way out of her hard places, than her seventeen years' inexperience had found, at such a cost? The brown eyes looked searchingly at Mr. Falkirk, and again for an instant went beyond him to Mr. Rollo.
Falkirk, it is imperatively necessary that I should at once rejoin the rest of society, will you let yourself be torn from this rock, like a sea anemone? Mr. Falkirk had been for a few minutes taking a minute and business-like survey of the place. 'I see no way of getting you out, Wych, he said despondingly, 'without a rope. I must go back for one, I believe, and you and society must wait.
'No person of discretion to detain them at the 'ouse, sir, and so of course they followed Miss 'Azel down 'ere, sir. Boukets enough to last a h'ordinary person all summer, sir. And cards. And ribbands, concluded Gotham, beginning to clear the table for tea. 'Look here, Gotham, said Mr. Falkirk, from his sofa, whence his eyes followed his serving-man about.
Reo drove on and on, till his practised eye saw that to get home by tea-time was all that was left, and then stopped and got permission to turn round. But driving seemed to have become a sudden passion with Miss Wych. She kept herself out, somewhere, somehow, day after day; denied of course to all visitors, and of small avail to Mr. Falkirk, except to pour out his coffee.
But there Hazel shifted her ground, and felt herself growing frightened, and certainly wished her new guardian a hundred miles away. What did he mean? was he only sounding her, as Mr. Falkirk did sometimes? If so, he might just find out for himself! Rollo was going to make, and at what point in the list truth would oblige her to start up and confront him?
Rollo, it was plain, understood himself, and was in no confusion on the subject. Mr. Falkirk, either in uncertainty or in disgust, declined to pursue it. He finished his tea, and then, perhaps, feeling that he had no right to keep watch over his brother guardian, much to Wych Hazel's discomfiture, he took up his book and marched away.
What a dinner you have brought us! said Mr. Falkirk, who maintained a quiet and passive behaviour. 'You cannot set off for some hours yet, sir the horses must have rest. I believe but am not sure that somebody got up very early this morning to make that pie. I told them I had left some friends in distress; and Primrose and I did what we could.
In his Welsh campaigns he was soon to show a tenacity and force of will which wrested victory out of the midst of defeat. He could head a furious charge of horse as at Lewes, or organize a commissariat which enabled him to move army after army across the harried Lowlands. In his old age he was quick to discover the value of the English archery and to employ it as a means of victory at Falkirk.
