Like the first ship, it was soon undeceived. Again like the first, it vanished from emptiness, and it would be heading for the fleet in its monotonous circling of Glamis. The third blip, though, was a light cruiser. The Horus appeared from nowhere close beside it and its communicator began to scream in gibberish.
"That is understood; you need not reiterate. I see through Miss Glamis now, the deceitful, ungrateful creature!" "Mother, I am going to marry Miss Glamis. You must teach yourself to speak respectfully of her." "I hate her worse than I hated Sophy. I am the most wretched of women;" and her air of misery was so genuine and hopeless that it hurt Archie very sensibly.
Those who have been unjust to Miss Glamis have now no excuse for their injustice." This authoritative declaration in Marion's favour had such a decided effect that every invitation to her marriage was accepted, and the ceremony, though purposely denuded of everything likely to recall the tragedy now to be forgotten, was really a very splendid private affair.
"May I ask what it was?" "I have been wooing a wife." "And your first wife not eight months in her grave!" "It was unavoidable. I was in a manner forced to it." "Forced? The idea! Are you become a coward?" "Yes," he answered wearily; "anything before a fresh public discussion of my poor Sophy's death." "Oh! Who is the lady?" "There is only one lady possible." "Marion Glamis?"
"I'd like to, Sophy, but I'm not free to do so." "You're putting Madame's bit of siller and the work she's promised you from the Glamis girl before my heart-break. Oh, how can you?" "Sophy, you have lived with me, and I saw you often dissatisfied and unreasonable for nothing at all." "I was a bit foolish lassie then. I am a poor, miserable, sick woman now."
The poculum potatorium of the valiant Baron, his blessed Bear, has a prototype at the fine old Castle of Glamis, so rich in memorials of ancient times; it is a massive beaker of silver, double gilt, moulded into the shape of a lion, and holding about an English pint of wine.
None of us have, of course, ever been present at similar gatherings, where, after starting with the inevitable Glamis mystery, everybody in the room has set to work to outdo his neighbour in marvellous yarns, drawing on his imagination for additional material, and, like Eucrates, being ready to stake the lives of his children on his veracity.
It was before this event, however, and immediately after the death of the Queen, that a curious and tragical incident happened, which furnished another strange scene to the many associations of Edinburgh. This was the execution of Lady Glamis upon the Castle Hill for witchcraft and secret attempts upon the life of the King by means of magic or of poison.
Malcolm is said to have been murdered at haunted Glamis, in Forfarshire, in 1034; the room where he died is pointed out by legend in the ancient castle. Boedhe had left a daughter, Gruach; she had by the Mormaor, or under-king of the province of Murray, a son, Lulach.
They were offered a pardon, upon their submission, and an acknowledgment of their fault in seizing the king's person and restraining him from his liberty. Some of them accepted of the terms; the greater number, particularly Angus, Hamilton, Marre, Glamis, left the country, and took shelter in Ireland or England, where they were protected by Elizabeth.
