She was a worthy lady, very circumspect in her walk, and lived in great concord with her husband, save that the good Countess was something of a puritan, and kept more company with ministers than was altogether agreeable to Lord Huntinglen, who is, as your Majesty well knows, a man of the old rough world, that will drink and swear."
"Thou shalt eat before thou goest," said Lord Huntinglen; "and I will have thee try, moreover, whether a cup of sack cannot bring some colour into these cheeks of thine. It were a shame to my household, thou shouldst glide out into the Strand after such a spectre-fashion as thou now wearest Look to it, Dalgarno, for the honour of our roof is concerned."
"May it please your Majesty," answered Lord Huntinglen, "I am more of an old soldier than a scholar and if my own rough nature will not bear me out in any calamity, I hope I shall have grace to try a text of Scripture to boot."
In the meantime, Lord Huntinglen kneeled before James, in his turn, and said "May it please your Majesty to remember, that upon one certain occasion you did promise to grant me a boon every year of your sacred life?"
But the Lord Huntinglen, that good old peer, who had so frankly interfered in his behalf on a former occasion, and whom he occasionally visited, greatly dissuaded him from a similar adventure, and exhorted him quietly to await the deliverance of the ministers, which should set him free from dancing attendance in London.
"We know they can," said Lord Huntinglen "mind not Buckingham, he is a Peg-a-Ramsay and now for the remedy." "I partly hinted to Lord Glenvarloch already," said Heriot, "that the redemption money might be advanced upon such a warrant as the present, and I will engage my credit that it can.
All marked the angry spot upon his brow, and bore back so suddenly to make way for him, that the Earl of Huntinglen, who affected no extraordinary haste on the occasion, with his companions, who could not, if they would, have decently left him, remained as it were by themselves in the middle of the room, and in the very path of the angry favourite.
"By my saul, my lord, this is strange," said the king; "ye are pleading for the son of your enemy!" "Of one who WAS my enemy till your Majesty made him my friend," answered Lord Huntinglen. "Weel spoken, my lord!" said the king; "and with, a true Christian spirit.
He was king's-man and I was queen's-man during the Douglas wars young fellows both, that feared neither fire nor steel; and we had some old feudal quarrels besides, that had come down from father to son, with our seal-rings, two-harided broad-swords, and plate-coats, and the crests on our burgonets." "Too loud, my Lord of Huntinglen," whispered a gentleman of the chamber, "The King! the King!"
Here they found the worthy goldsmith, who approached them with looks of curiosity, which were checked by the old lord, who said hastily, "All is well. Is your barge in waiting?" Heriot answered in the affirmative. "Then," said Lord Huntinglen, "you shall give me a cast in it, as the watermen say; and I, in requital, will give you both your dinner; for we must have some conversation together."
