The Lady of the Lake, an extremely interesting story of romantic love and adventure, has been the most popular of Scott's poems. Loch Katrine and the Trossachs, where the scene of the opening cantos is laid, have since Scott's day been thronged with tourists. The most prominent characteristic of Scott's poetry is its energetic movement.
"You see," he began, his eyelids drawn together in his own way, his eyes fastened upon some remote distance, "I, too, have been lonely. The only companionable person within hundreds of miles has refused me her society. I have been driven, as it were, to the world's end." "Do you mean me?" Katrine asked, smiling, and looking at him with eyes full of surprise.
You will say, 'Prophetic man, I am ashamed through all my being to have loved so slight a thing. You will find you have outgrown him, and he will have only the weight of the Santa Claus, which children painlessly outgrow. And ever after you will have toward him a kindly mother-feeling, for that is woman's way toward their first loves." Katrine shook her head. "I do not want to forget."
"And yet it is serious in a sense," said he; "for this rogue of a Katrine or Cateran, as we may call her has set adrift again upon the world that very doubtful character, her papa." Here was one of my previsions justified: James More was once again at liberty. Now came his reward, and he was free.
Her eyes were red with weeping, and there was a hurried, despairing note in her voice as she spoke. "Katrine Dulany," she said, "I've come to you for help." Years of thought could not have given her better words, and the strong, young hands enfolded the cold ones of the suffering mother. "If there is anything I can do for you, I will do it, oh, so gladly!" Katrine answered. "Frank is very" Mrs.
There are visitors at Ravenel House," Katrine explained. "He can-and I think he will-leave them for one evening," Dermott answered. "I'm the only human being alive that ye've not hypnotized, Frank Ravenel!" Dermott cried, with a laugh, as the three of them sat at dinner at the Old Lodge the evening following this talk.
He protested he knew nothing about it; and he returned Churchill's charge, by throwing the whole blame upon him; said he knew he was in league with Lady Katrine; mentioned that one morning, sometime ago, he had dropped in unexpectedly early at Lady Castlefort's, and had been surprised to find the two sisters, contrary to their wont, together their heads and Horace Churchill's over some manuscript, which was shuffled away as he entered.
She was standing there looking into them when Stephen returned and came up behind her. "They look fine, don't they?" he said. "That's a thirty dollar pan." Katrine turned, and looking up was startled by the eager light in his face and the greed written in every line of it.
Katrine advanced and put her arms round her, drawing the frail attenuated form close against her own warm vigorous frame. "What nonsense!" she said gently. "You are not going to die at home or anywhere yet. Why, Will is going to make a big strike, and take you home to live in style all the rest of your life."
It was a still dead cold without, the sort of night on which your limbs might freeze beyond recovery, and without your knowing it, so insidious and so little aggressive was the cold. "You go in and keep warm," said Katrine; "I'll find the pony and manage him," and she pushed Annie gently within her own door, and went round to the shed at the back of the cabin where the pony was.
