"It's most 'leven o'clock," said Joel, who, having no work to do outside, that day, was prancing around, wild to help along the festivities; "it's most 'leven o'clock, Polly Pepper! you won't have it done."
'Leven francs, signor," and he opened the dirty fingers of his left hand twice, and held up a thumb that looked as if it hadn't been washed since he was born. "Seven," I firmly replied. "Not a centime more. Drive on!" "Ze signor will pay 'leven francs," he fiercely persisted, "seven for ze driver and four for ze cicerone, ze guide." "What guide? I've had no guide." "Me, signor. I am ze guide.
"I wish," said Hallin, with some discontent, when Marcella had settled herself, "that we were going to be alone to-night; that would have rested you more." "Why, who is coming?" said Marcella, a little flatly. She had certainly hoped to find them alone. "Your old friend, Frank Leven, is coming to supper. When he heard you were to be here he vowed that nothing could or should keep him away.
It is certainly more pictorial, so to speak, than some remote moor lochs up near Cape Wrath; Forsinard in particular, where the scenery looks like one gigantic series of brown "baps," flat Scotch scones, all of low elevation, all precisely similar to each other. Loch Leven is not such a cockney place as the majority of men who have not visited it imagine.
What a man would take with his dinner down there would fit him out with a first-class jag up here, 'leven thousand above the sea!" "It's a waste of breath to talk about them breath burns up food and we haven't much to spare. We rushed into this trouble and we dragged you in after us. We have hurt you a good deal more than you have us." The sick man groaned.
"Ketchin' any?" said a voice above the bank, and Chad looked up to see still another lad, taller by a head than either he or Dan evidently the boy whom he had seen rigging a pole up at the big house on the hill. "Oh, 'bout 'leven," said Dan, carelessly. "Howdye!" said Chad. "Howdye!" said the other boy, and he, too, stared curiously, but Chad had got used to people staring at him.
Very rough in tackling, he, above all others in the club, was severe on the opposing forwards. ~J. M'Pherson.~ Among the Vale of Leven back division, which was so powerful long ago, none was more devoted to the game than Mr. M'Pherson, who held his place for several years as one of the backs of whom Caledonia felt proud. John Ferguson, the best-natured footballer in Dumbartonshire.
Finally, in May, 1646, the king surrendered to the Scottish army at Newark, which had been invested by Leven since the preceding November. While the Scottish army was thus aiding the Parliamentary cause, the Earl of Montrose had created an important diversion on the king's side in Scotland itself. In April, 1644, he occupied Dumfries and made an unsuccessful attempt on the Scottish Lowlands.
Mary went swiftly out, and shut the door behind her. "I guess you better not see him to-night," she said. "You can come in to-morrer. I shouldn't wonder if he'd be up then." "I told Adam" began Mattie, but Mary put a hand on her thin little arm, and held it there. "I'd rather talk to-morrer," said she gently. "Don't you come in before 'leven; but you come. Tell Adam to, if he wants.
Queen Victoria only saw Dunfermline and the abbey which holds the dust of King Robert the Bruce from a distance, as she journeyed by Kinross and Loch Leven, getting a nearer glimpse of Queen Mary's island prison, to Perthshire.
