The last theme brought them round to Dandaloo and its unhappy owner. The Archdeacon expressed the outsider's surprise at the strength of Glendinning's constitution, and the lively popular sympathy that was felt for his wife. "One's heart aches for the poor little lady, struggling to bear up as though nothing were the matter. Between ourselves, doctor" and Mr.
He sate down by the unfortunate mother, and essayed, by such topics as his religion and reason suggested, to interrupt the current of Dame Glendinning's feelings; but the attempt was in vain.
The fatal news of Halbert Glendinning's death had thrown all former arrangements into confusion. Mary Avenel, whose case required immediate attention, had been transported into the apartment hitherto occupied by Halbert and his brother, as the latter proposed to watch all night, in order to prevent the escape of the prisoner.
These thoughts, in which neither view of the case augured aught short of ruin to his family, and that ruin entirely brought on by his own rashness, were thorns in Halbert Glendinning's pillow, and deprived his soul of peace and his eyes of slumber. There appeared no middle course, saving one which was marked by degradation, and which, even if he stooped to it, was by no means free of danger.
"My lord," replied Roland, willing rather to evade this question than to answer it directly, for the prudence of being silent with respect to Lord Seyton's adventure immediately struck him, "I have been in Edinburgh scarce an hour, and that for the first time in my life." "What! and thou Sir Halbert Glendinning's page?" said the Regent.
The clown looked sulkily upon the Knight, as if to upbraid him for his violence towards an old acquaintance, and Glendinning's own good-nature reproached him for the violence he had acted upon him. "I did wrong to strike thee," he said, "Dan; but in truth, I knew thee not thou wert ever a mad fellow come to Avenel Castle, and we shall see how my hawks fly."
Neither was able to arise, for the black horseman was pierced through with Glendinning's lance, and the Knight of Avenel, oppressed with the weight of his own horse and sorely bruised besides, seemed in little better plight than he whom he had mortally wounded.
"There is a way," said the shepherd, "but I kenna if she could bring her heart to it, there's Simon Glendinning's widow of the glen yonder, has had assurance from the Southern loons, and nae soldier to steer them for one cause or other.
It is not easy to do justice to the manner in which young Glendinning's soul spoke through his eyes when ushered so suddenly into the company of those whom his earliest education had taught him to treat with awe and reverence. The degree of embarrassment, which his demeanor evinced, had nothing in it either meanly servile, or utterly disconcerted.
Murray replied in a similar tone, but so much raised towards the conclusion, of the sentence, that the page heard these words "And of him I hold myself secure, by Glendinning's recommendation." "Ay, which may be as much trustworthy as his late conduct at the Abbey of Saint Mary's you have heard that his brother's election has taken place.
