And must they too perish? BUTLER. They the first. MACDONALD. Hear, Devereux! A bloody evening this. DEVEREUX. Have you a man for that? Commission me BUTLER. 'Tis given in trust to Major Geraldin; This is a carnival night, and there's a feast Given at the castle there we shall surprise them, And hew them down. The Pestalutz and Lesley Have that commission. Soon as that is finished
Edie has been heard to say, "This is a gey bein place, and it's a comfort to hae sic a corner to sit in in a bad day." It is thought, as he grows stiffer in the joints, he will finally settle there. The bounty of such wealthy patrons as Lord and Lady Geraldin flowed copiously upon Mrs. Hadoway and upon the Mucklebackits. By the former it was well employed, by the latter wasted.
In the evening of that day, the yeomanry and volunteers of Glenallan drank prosperity to their young master. In a month afterwards Lord Geraldin was married to Miss Wardour, the Antiquary making the lady a present of the wedding ring a massy circle of antique chasing, bearing the motto of Aldobrand Oldenbuck, Kunst macht gunst.
But the old woman, whom this crisis seemed to repossess in all those powers of mental superiority with which she had once been eminently gifted, arose, and advancing towards him, said, with a solemn voice, "My son, as ye wad shun hearing of your mother's shame as ye wad not willingly be a witness of her guilt as ye wad deserve her blessing and avoid her curse, I charge ye, by the body that bore and that nursed ye, to leave me at freedom to speak with Lord Geraldin, what nae mortal ears but his ain maun listen to.
"My lord," answered the Antiquary, "I must necessarily have the greatest respect for your lordship's family, which I am well aware is one of the most ancient in Scotland, being certainly derived from Aymer de Geraldin, who sat in parliament at Perth, in the reign of Alexander II., and who by the less vouched, yet plausible tradition of the country, is said to have been descended from the Marmor of Clochnaben.

DEVEREUX. Hear, general! It will be all one to you Hark ye, let me exchange with Geraldin. BUTLER. 'Twill be the lesser danger with the duke. DEVEREUX. Danger! The devil! What do you think me, general, 'Tis the duke's eye, and not his sword, I fear. BUTLER. What can his eye do to thee? DEVEREUX. Death and hell! Thou knowest that I'm no milksop, general!

"By no means, young man," answered the Antiquary, interrupting him; "I believe I know more of your birth than you do yourself and, to convince you of it, you were educated and known as a natural son of Geraldin Neville of Neville's-Burgh, in Yorkshire, and I presume, as his destined heir?" "Pardon me no such views were held out to me.
