Mistress Bradfute, besides her estate of Lamington, possessed a house in Lanark; and she was frequently at Sir Robert's castle, he having been named one of her guardians under her father's will.

I reflected that sea-sickness was kitten's play to a good bout of malaria. The weather was growing worse, and I was getting more than spindrift from the seas.
