Do you think they mean seriously ill by MacLachlan?" "Ill enough, I have little doubt," briskly replied Splendid.

The protracted tone in which the last words were uttered, betokened that the speaker was again composing himself to slumber. But my guide spoke in a loud whisper "Dougal, man! hae ye forgotten Ha nun Gregarach?"
Dougal received these threats with an air of stupid impenetrability, which might arise either from conscious innocence, or from dogged resolution. "If shentlemans were seeking ta Red Gregarach," he said, "to be sure they couldna expect to find her without some wee danger."
