Leslie?" "Yes, ma'am, and I am very much obliged to my father for letting me," said Frank, taking the squire's hand. "Well, but, Frank," continued Mrs. Hazeldean, "I think you heard that the Leslies were very poor." FRANK. "Eh, Mother?" MRS. HAZELDEAN. "And would you run the chance of wounding the pride of a gentleman as well born as yourself by affecting any show of being richer than he is?"
She smiled permission and nodded toward the smoking lanai, where they found him talking sugar politics with the oldsters when the dance began to break up. Quite a party of half a dozen machines were starting for Waikiki, and he found himself billeted to drive the Leslies and Burnstons home, though he did not fail to note that Ida sat in the driver's seat with Sonny in Sonny's car.
"He hath my order for such interference," said the Regent "Has any one been hurt?" "George of Seyton himself, by black Ralph Leslie the devil take the rapier that ran not through from side to side! Ralph has a bloody coxcomb, by a blow from a messan-page whom nobody knew Dick Seyton of Windygowl is run through the arm, and two gallants of the Leslies have suffered phlebotomy.
Leslie did not preserve. Leslie's without applying for the character. The Lord-Lieutenant had given a ball, and had not invited the Leslies. Mr. Leslie's tenants had voted against their landlord's wish at the recent election. More than all, Squire Hazeldean and his Harry had called at Rood, and though Mrs.

The Leslies all liked going with their parents to church.
Randal's seconder was a bluff yeoman, an outvoter of weight with the agricultural electors. As to the young gentleman, whose nomination he had the pleasure to second, did not know much about him; but the Leslies were an old family in the neighbouring county, and Mr. Leslie said he was nearly related to Squire Hazeldean, as good a man as ever stood upon shoe leather.
Still the squire had felt as if his "distant brother" implied a rebuke on his own neglect of these poor Leslies, by the liberality Audley evinced towards them; and this had made him doubly sore when the name of Randal Leslie was mentioned.
Suppose you come up- town with me and help me pick out a beast." "No," said Blake. "Less I see of that papa's boy the better I'll like him." "Oh, but as a fellow-engineer, y'know," minced Lord James. "You love him 'bout as much as I do." Lord James adjusted the pink carnation in his lapel, and casually remarked: "You'll be calling at the Leslies' this afternoon, I daresay." "No," said Blake.
The quarrel in the Canongate between the Leslies and Seytons, in Scott's 'Abbot, represents the same temper; and marks also, what Shakspeare did not so distinctly, because it would have interfered with the domestic character of his play, the connection of these private quarrels with political divisions which paralyzed the entire body of the State.
