Ere Lord Glenvarloch had time to speculate upon this action, the man approached with anxiety, and said "Good lord, my Lord Glenvarloch! why will you endanger yourself thus?" "You know me then, my friend?" said Nigel. "Not much of that, my lord but I know your honour's noble house well. My name is Laurie Linklater, my lord." "Linklater!" repeated Nigel. "I should recollect
"Not a word of it," he said, "not a single word I know why you ride at anchor here but I can keep counsel so pretty a hostess would recommend worse quarters." "On my word on my honour," said Lord Glenvarloch
"Have I not told you already," answered Sir Mungo, "that the king said something to that effect so did the Prince too; and such being the case, ye may take it on your corporal oath, that every man in the circle who was not silent, sung the same song as they did." "You said but now," replied Glenvarloch, "that Lord Dalgarno interfered in my behalf."
Finally, he intimated that he was ready to proceed on the business which brought him from home so early, a proposition which Nigel readily received, though he could not help suspecting that the most important purpose of Duke Hildebrod's visit was already transacted. In this, however, Lord Glenvarloch proved to be mistaken.
But your lordship's caution is reasonable. The creditor must be bound to allow Lord Glenvarloch sufficient time to redeem his estate by means of the royal warrant, and must wave in his favour the right of instant foreclosure, which may be, I should think, the more easily managed, as the right of redemption must be exercised in his own name."

"I pray you to pass on to some other charge," said Lord Glenvarloch. "I am not your accuser, my lord; but I trust in heaven, that your own heart has already accused you bitterly on the inhospitable wrong which your late landlord has sustained at your hand."
The latter complimented Lord Glenvarloch upon the impression he had made at Court.
"No fear, no fear," answered Lord Glenvarloch, ashamed of the construction she put upon a momentary hesitation, arising from a dislike to look upon what is horrible, often connected with those high-wrought minds which are the last to fear what is merely dangerous "I will do your errand as you desire; but for you, you must not cannot go yonder." "I can I will," she said. "I am composed.
In this, however, Lord Glenvarloch was mistaken; for, as he strolled slowly along with his arms folded in his cloak, and his hat drawn over his eyes, he was suddenly pounced upon by Sir Mungo Malagrowther, who, either shunning or shunned, had retreated, or had been obliged to retreat, to the same less frequented corner of the Park.
