Glennie did not check us, but went back and sat very quiet at his desk; and soon I was sorry I had laughed, for he looked sad, with his face sanded and a great red patch on one side, and beside that the fin had scratched him and made a blood-drop trickle down his cheek. A few minutes later the thin voice of the almshouse clock said twelve, and away walked Mr.
In the middle of the night, as Malcolm sat by his bed, thinking him asleep, the marquis spoke suddenly. "You must go to Aberdeen tomorrow, Malcolm," he said. "Verra weel, my lord." "And bring Mr Glennie, the lawyer, back with you." "Yes, my lord." "Go to bed then." "I wad raither bide, my lord. I cudna sleep a wink for wantin' to be back aside ye."
For in the church on Sunday, when we heard the tapping in the vault below, my young gentleman was scared enough; but afterwards, being told by Parson Glennie who should know better that such noises were not made by ghosts, but by the Mohunes at sea in their coffins, he plucks up heart, and comes down on the Monday to see if they are still afloat.
Glennie at Dulwich, but thwarted the progress of his education with her fondness and self-will, until Lord Carlisle gave up all hope of ruling her. It was at this period that a boyish love for Margaret Parker, his cousin, who died shortly after, led Byron into the practice of verse.
Glennie read, and you may easily guess how such news moved me, and how we sat far into the night talking and considering what steps it was best to take, for we feared lest so long an interval as eight years having elapsed, the lawyers might have made some other disposition of the money. It was midnight when Mr. Glennie left.
Vining crying, 'Lordsakes, we shall all be throttled like Cracky Jones. So in a minute there were none left in the church, save and except Mr. Glennie, with me, Ratsey, and Elzevir Block.
So men say that he cannot rest in his grave, not having made even so tardy a reparation, and never will rest unless the treasure is found and spent upon the poor. I thought much over what Mr. Glennie had said and fell to wondering where Blackbeard could have hid his diamond, and whether I might not find it some day and make myself a rich man.
Her officers would be ashore during the time, the welcome guests of the officers of the garrison, bearing their share in the gaieties with which the latter strove to kill the time of waiting for events, and Marcus Glennie, the captain of the frigate, an old friend of Tremayne's, was by virtue of that friendship an almost daily visitor at the adjutant's quarters. But there again I am anticipating.
And of the Mohune Hospital for that was what the alms-houses were now called Master Glennie was first warden, with fair rooms and a full library, and Master Ratsey head of the Bedesmen.
'For', says he, 'I will not have thee taught any more by a psalm-singing hypocrite that calls thy father murderer. And all the while he kept drawing up closer to Mr. Glennie, until the two stood very near each other. There was a great difference between them; the one short and blustering, with a red face turned up; the other tall and craning down, ill-clad, ill-fed, and pale.
