But ere I could do so, she came down the carpeted stairs leaning on her father's arm, graceful and beautiful, while by her side walked Farquharson in full Highland costume, eager and attentive. A smile was upon her lips as she listened, and then her eyes met mine. Her face went pale, and she was near fainting.
I tried to get hold of Dr Martin this afternoon, but he was miles away on an urgent case, and won't be back till to-morrow.

If I had been in Farquharson's place I would have put a bullet through the coward's head, and would have defended the bridge till the last.
