There was a single slip of paper inside and on it was written in the hand of the station agent: "If you would do your mother a service come to Wickford Junction at once." "Wickford Junction!" gasped Freda, as the messenger boy rode away. "Why, how did mother get there? That's in the opposite direction from Lamberton. Oh, there must have been some accident, and she has been taken there!
Weel, just five days syne, I was at Lamberton it was the very day after the royal party arrived and Robin was there. Perhaps you was there yoursel; but the tents were there, and the games, and the shows, and everything was going on just the same as ye saw them yesterday. But, as I was telling ye, Meikle Robin was there.
Andrew went to Lamberton with his fish on the following day, and again he found a profitable market; and some words had again passed between him and Meikle Robin; but, as he was returning home, he overtook the stranger by whom Robin had been defeated. "Losh, man!" said Andrew, pulling up his pony, "is this ye?
He showed a lamentable contempt for his word; for, on his father's death, he again did homage, and swore fealty to Edward, both for his lands in England and Scotland, and at the same time he was making secret treaties with Lamberton, Bishop of St. Andrew's, and with Comyn.
An attempt was made by those who really wished well to the national cause, or who dreaded that their disunion might be fatal to all alike, to reconcile the contending factions; with this view they elected Bruce, and Lamberton, Bishop of Glasgow, joint regents in the name of Baliol; but this ill-assorted coalition soon fell to pieces, as might have been expected, where the views which one party entertained in secret were so utterly opposed to the avowed purposes of all.
Why I sold her a ticket to Lamberton this morning." "I know. But there must have been some accident. I just got a message from Wickford Junction." "I know, for I wrote it down. The person wouldn't give any name, but I'm sure it wasn't your mother." "No, it couldn't have been! She's hurt!" "Hurt?" "Well, of course I'm not sure, but I fear she is. She must have told someone to send it.
"During the short time we were together our talk was quite commonplace, mostly of the changes in the county." "Did he, Henshaw, know it formerly?" Morriston asked with some surprise. "Oh, yes," Miss Elyot answered, "he used to stay with some people over at Lamberton; you remember the Peltons, Muriel?" she turned to Miss Tredworth. "Of course you do." "Oh, yes," Muriel Tredworth answered.
But Margaret's pale face seemed a mute appeal for compassion; so Miss Lamberton drew on her gloves, settled her bonnet before the glass over the mantel-piece, and tripped away. Margaret sat by the little round table, with an open book before her.
A cloud dropped from heaven and brooded for a time above the place where it had vanished, and when it lifted the surface of the sea was empty and still. The good folk of New Haven believed that the fate of the absent ship had been revealed, at last, for she never came back and Captain Lamberton was never heard from.
The gay and gallant company were assembled on Lamberton, for within the walls of its kirk, the young, ardent, and chivalrous James IV. of Scotland was to receive the hand of his fair bride, Margaret of England, whom Dunbar describes as a "Fresche rose, of cullor reid and white." The wild heath presented all the splendour of a court, and the amusements of a crowded city.
