All the gentlemen, in every species of attire, all the servants, and gradually the whole population of the little village, keepers and gillies, were aroused and started, in the autumn night, for the summit of the hill. The happy Queen watched from below the blazing light above. When Prince Albert returned he described the health-drinking in whiskey as wild and exciting.
'The motor has gone on to Lairg, carrying two detectives who have made a pretty foozle of it, and it will bring back an electrician. 'What for? asked Logan.

Crummie-Toddie was in all respects suited for sport. Killancodlem, though it had the name of a shooting-place, certainly was not so. Men going there took their guns.
