"But after all, to so weather-beaten a maid as myself, up and out in all seasons, a scorched cheek, more or less, signifies not; and Dame Martha works hard." "And had your father any news from Wancote?" "Yes, news indeed Belton has been taken!" "Taken?" "Hired or purchased by a gentleman of the name of Johnstone, whose arrival is expected hourly." "This is news indeed!
Lord Lorne, son of Argyle, having ever preserved his loyalty, obtained a gift of the forfeiture. Guthry was a seditious preacher, and had personally affronted the king: his punishment gave surprise to nobody. Sir Archibald Johnstone of Warriston was attainted and fled; but was seized in France about two years after, brought over, and executed.
Inspector Johnstone was examining the floor, and I saw that the footmarks went all 'round the cellar, into all the corners, and across the floor. I thought suddenly of the Child that was running away from Something. Do you see the thing that I was seeing vaguely? "We went out of the cellar in a body, for there was nothing to be found.
"No, my lord!" said Gatty, "it is plain I am not a fit antagonist; I shall but expose myself and my mother has separated us; I have lost her if you do not win her some worse man may; but, oh! if you are a man, use her tenderly." "Whom?" "Christie Johnstone! Oh, sir, do not make her regret me too much!
"I thought that smaik's name had been Robert." "I trow they be different, my lord. I only graced this fellow with the full title, for indeed he called himself the Devil's Dick, and said he was a Johnstone, and a follower of the lord of that name. But I put him back into the bog, and recovered my hawking bag, which he had taken when I was at disadvantage." Sir Patrick paused for an instant.
Several men had been killed; and, about twenty, including Lieutenant Johnstone, wounded, when again, one of those murderous globes fell, hissing in the very centre of the bomb-proof.
The good burghers of St. Heliers had given up their whist, and taken their last drop of "hot and hot." In St. Aubin's Bay, from Corbin's Light, from mansion in town, and cot among the Druidical rocks, anxious eyes now gazed out on the wild sea, where Andrew Fraser tried to calm the terrified Nadine Johnstone.
Thus he came to value books too much from a single point of view, and his friends were sometimes surprised at what he recommended them to read. He would estimate a second-rate novel like "Christie Johnstone" above Thackeray's "Newcomes." However, it may generally be said that the greater and more high-minded an author might be the better was Emerson a judge of him.
She drew near her own door. And now a knot collected round Christie Johnstone, and urged her to undertake the sad task. "You that speak sa learned, Christie, ye should tell her; we daur na." "How can I tell her?" said Christie, turning pale. "How will I tell her? I'se try." She took one trembling step to meet the woman. Beeny's eye fell upon her.
In consequence, the Laird of Johnstone soon fell a sacrifice to this notion of honour, or outbreak of offended pride. The crime was not, however, passed over by law; the offender was tried, and executed, in 1613, at the Cross in Edinburgh; and his honours were forfeited.
