See, they know you"; and, indeed, many a man in that gallant array waved his hand to me merrily, as they filed past under their banners the Douglas's bloody heart, the Crescent moon of Harden, the Napier's sheaf of spears, the blazons of Lindsays and Leslies, Homes, and Hepburns, and Stuarts.
Egerton's fortune comes from his wife, from my family, from a Leslie, not from a Hazeldean." Lady Frederick turned sharply, looked at Randal's countenance with more attention than she had yet vouchsafed to it, and tried to talk of the Leslies. Randal was very short there. An hour afterwards, Randal, who had not danced, was still in the refreshment-room, but Lady Frederick had long quitted him.
"Then," said Adam, "I would fain know by what other influence or instigation you are perpetually at one end or the other of some bloody brawl? What, I pray, had you to do with these Seytons and Leslies, that you never heard the names of in your life before?" "You are out there, my friend," said Roland Graeme, "I have my own reasons for being a friend to the Seytons."
"Do you think, when Wolsey and Thomas-a-Becket became priests, they were fond of telling their beads and pattering Aves? I fond of reading!"

It was a lay rectory, and the great tithes had belonged to the Leslies, but they had been long since sold.
"In the Black Hills of South Dakota, somewhere near a little place called Spanish Gulch." This time the Leslies winked at each other. "It's a nice country," commented Bert vaguely; "I've been there." "Oh, have you?" cried the young man. "What's it like?" "Hills, pines, log houses, good hunting oh, it's Western enough." A clock struck in a church tower outside.
The shadow of Harney had not yet reached out to the edge of the hills. "Hullo! The kids!" said Fay suddenly. Two pedestrians emerged from the lower gulch and bent their steps toward the camp. As they came nearer, Bennington, with a gasp of surprise, recognised the Leslies.
