But the next moment he came to himself, saying, in a tone of assumed composure: "You'll pe knowing now, my laty, why she'll pe hating ta very name of Clenlyon." "But it was not your grandfather that Glenlyon killed, Mr MacPhail was it?" "And whose grandfather would it pe then, my lady?" returned Duncan, drawing himself up. "The Glenco people weren't MacPhails.
"Tid you'll hear me, my laty?" he asked in a tone of reflection, as if trying to recall the circumstance. "Indeed I did. You frightened me so that I didn't dare come in." "Ten she'll pe punished enough. Put it wass no harm to curse ta wicket Cawmill." "It was not Glenlyon it wasn't a man at all; it was a woman you were in such a rage with."
Of the actual method of massacre employed Dalrymple may have been ignorant; but orders "from Court" to "spare none," and to take no prisoners, were received by Livingstone on January 23. On February 1, Campbell of Glenlyon, with 120 men, was hospitably received by MacIan, whose son, Alexander, had married Glenlyon's niece.
If he did what they desired, and forgot his master and his trust, he could not return to his native country, for Glenlyon would be no home or country for him, as he would be despised and hunted out of the glen. Accordingly he kept steady to his trust, and was executed. This trusty servant's name was John Macnaughton, from Glenlyon, in Perthshire.
My father, Colonel Leslie of Glenlyon, was a gentleman, and it was right that I should wield a sword, and James Macklewain, who had fought in the French wars and knew my father, was good enough to teach me. I may say that my guardian knew nothing of this." "No, indeed," Andrew said. "I never so much as dreamt of it. If I had done so he and I would have talked together to a purpose."
Besides, I suppose we should get as many comforts in Scotland as here in France. Of course our estates here will fetch a sum many times larger than that which would purchase Glenlyon, and we need not live all our time among the mountains you tell me of, but can go sometimes to Edinburgh or even to London. Even if you did not wish it, I should say it would be far better to do so for Ronald's sake.
"Leslie of Glenlyon was concerned in the '15, was he not?" Mr. M'Whirtle said; "and had to fly the country; and his son seems to be treading in his steps, bailie. I doubt ye have been nourishing a viper in your bosom."
Is it blood that is streaming down into the valley? Ha! 'tis the red coated blood hounds of Orange. To hunt the red deer, is this a fit season? Glenlyon, said Ian, the son of the chieftain: What seek ye with guns and with gillies so many? Friends, a warm fire, good cheer, and a drink, Said the liar of hell, with the death in his heart. Come home to my house it is poor, but your own.
He is the son of Leslie of Glenlyon, who fought by my side in your father's cause in '15, and has, like myself, been an exile ever since. This is the young gentleman who, two years since, saved Macdonald from arrest in Glasgow." "Ah! I remember the adventure," the prince said courteously, "and right gallant action it was; but how did you hear that I was here, sir?"
The long evenings were cheerfully spent by the peat fire with the help of some packs of cards which had found their way to that remote corner of the world, and of some French brandy which was probably part of James's farewell gift to his Highland supporters. Glenlyon appeared to be warmly attached to his niece and her husband Alexander. Every day he came to their house to take his morning draught.
