Over Etive and through the Benderloch, and through Appin and even up to Glencoe, by some strange spasm of physique for she was frail and famished the barefooted old cailleach of Carnus came after us, a bird of battle, croaking in a horrible merriment over our operations. The Dark Dame we called her.
The force at his disposal is not, however, large two British battalions the Dublin Fusiliers, who fought at Glencoe, and were hurried out of Ladysmith to strengthen the communications when it became evident that a blockade impended, and the Border Regiment from Malta, a squadron of the Imperial Light Horse, 300 Natal volunteers with 25 cyclists, and a volunteer battery of nine-pounder guns perhaps 2,000 men in all.
In the movement, which resulted in the governor's recall and impeachment, there was doubtless the usual amount of exaggeration represented by the violent language of one of Carlyle's minor biographers: "There were more innocent people slain than at Jeffreys' Bloody Assize"; "The massacre of Glencoe was nothing to it"; "Members of Christian Churches were flogged," etc. etc. but among its leaders there were so many men of mark and celebrity, men like John S. Mill, T. Hughes, John Bright, Fawcett, Cairnes, Goldwin Smith, Herbert Spencer, and Frederick Harrison, that it could not be set aside as a mere unreasoning clamour.
It's Glencoe 'erself sail hang 'em," he said breathlessly. "What for? Out with it, Donald!" "Yes, you gomeril" shoving one of the men sprawling into the stable "oot wi' it! Bring your tarn rogues wark 'ere!" The man came sheepishly out with my saddle, cut and ripped and gutted till it wasn't worth a sou. Strict and stern inquiry threw little light on the matter.

"It's dry work cursing your friends! Fill up, Campbell, and I'll forget Glencoe ... while I'm drinking." "Mr. Ormond," said Walter Butler, in a low voice, "I cannot credit ill of a man of your name. You are young and hot-blooded, and you perhaps lack as yet a capacity for reflection. I shall look for you among us when the time comes. No Ormond can desert his King."
"Another time, George, never allow a guest of mine to send away wine. If he don't care for it, put it on the sideboard." "Yes, sah; but as yo' didn't like it yo'self, Marse Harry, and de wine was de most 'xpensive quality ob Glencoe" "D n the expense!" He paused, and gazed searchingly at his old retainer.
The Missouri side of the Mississippi is a very different country from the hot and treeless prairies of Illinois. As Stephen alighted at the little station at Glencoe and was driven away by Ned in the Colonel's buggy, he drew in deep breaths of the sweet air of the Meramec Valley.
It was a very polite note, containing the Colonel's compliments, asking Mr. Brice to Glencoe that afternoon with whatever papers or letters the Judge might wish to see. And since there was no convenient train in the evening, Colonel Carvel would feel honored if Mr. Brice would spend the night. The Colonel mentioned the train on which Mr. Brice was expected.
