Lady Kirkaldy knew that the cruel silence had been chiefly the work of the stem Puritan pitilessness of her mother, so she passed this over, saying, 'We are all very anxious to atone, as far as possible, for what is past, but we know little or nothing, only what my nephew Mark has been able to gather. 'Little Mark! Alice always talked of him with great affection.
The earls of Argyle, Rothes, and Glencairne, the lords Boyde and Ochiltry, Kirkaldy of Grange, Pittarow, were instigated by like motives; and as these were the persons who had most zealously promoted the reformation, they were disgusted to find that the queen's favor was entirely engrossed by a new cabal, the earls of Bothwell, Athole, Sutherland, and Huntley; men who were esteemed either lukewarm in religious controversy, or inclined to the Catholic party.
'It is young Mark's most earnest wish and his father 'Lady Kirkaldy hesitated for a word, and Miss Headworth put in: 'His father! Why would he never even acknowledge either Alice's letters or mine? We wrote several times both to him and Lady Adelaide, and never received any reply, except one short one, desiring he might not be troubled on such a subject. It was cruel!
The only sense of promotion to greatness that Ursula had yet enjoyed was in these fine clothes, and the maid whom Lady Kirkaldy had recommended, a grave and severe-looking person, of whom both stood somewhat in awe.
Houghton to call, who were very kind and caressing to her and the children, so that she thought all was right. Oh! Lady Kirkaldy, I don't mean to defend her, I daresay she was very giddy and silly, she reproaches herself, poor dear, but I do say that a wicked advantage was taken of her innocence and ignorance.
The next four holes were made in bogy by both players, leaving Kirkaldy two up on both medal and match scores. Here is the out card: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 KIRKALDY 3 4 4 3 4 5 5 5 4 37 WALLACE 4 4 4 3 5 5 5 5 4 39 This was three under bogy for Kirkaldy, and one under for Wallace. "I think this Scotchman of yours will do," Carter said in an undertone, as we neared the tenth tee.
Of course we all know what a really fine fellow is Andrew Kirkaldy, and how much poorer the golf world would be without his presence and his constant humour. And now I think I have holed out on the last green and this long match is finished. After all it is better to play golf than to write or read about it.
He did not want her, and cared little what she did, as long as she was under the wing of Lady Kirkaldy, whose patronage was a triumphant refutation of all doubts. He went his own way, and had his own club, his own associates, and, with his wife always at his beck and call, troubled himself very little about anything else.
Kirkaldy had never done it, but Wallace had made a record-breaking drive. Could he reach the green? Kirkaldy brassied and was short, but in good position. Wallace did not have a good lie, but I told him it was a full 200 yards, and the fore caddy gave him the direction. It was uphill almost all the way to the hole.
Lady Kirkaldy did understand, and she dreaded what might be before the sweet little yielding woman, not from want of breeding so much as from the long-indulged selfishness of her husband; but she encouraged her as much as possible, and promised all possible counsel, bringing her downstairs again just in time. 'Pretty little soul! said Lord Kirkaldy, as the fly clattered away.
