The earls of Cassilis and Lothian, Lord Burley, the laird of Liberton, and other commissioners, arrived at Breda; but without any power of treating: the king must submit without reserve to the terms imposed upon him.
"Your word to him," said the Laird, somewhat pettishly; "but wha is he, Jeanie? wha is he? I haena heard his name yet Come now, Jeanie, ye are but queering us I am no trowing that there is sic a ane in the warld ye are but making fashion What is he? wha is he?" "Just Reuben Butler, that's schulemaster at Liberton," said Jeanie. "Reuben Butler!
She required to know the strength of Jeanie's purse, reduced by her deposit at Liberton, and the necessary expense of her journey, to about fifteen pounds. "This," she said, "would do very well, providing she would carry it a' safe to London." "Safe!" answered Jeanie; "I'se warrant my carrying it safe, bating the needful expenses." "Ay, but highwaymen, lassie," said Mrs.
Butler, after a close investigation of his conduct, was declared innocent of accession to the death of Porteous; but, as having been present during the whole transaction, was obliged to find bail not to quit his usual residence at Liberton, that he might appear as a witness when called upon. The other incident regarded the disappearance of Madge Wildfire and her mother from Edinburgh.
"The Laird of Black-at-the-Bane had a natural son bred to the kirk, that the Presbytery could not be prevailed upon to license; and so." "Ay, ye need say nae mair about it; if there was a laird that had a puir kinsman or a bastard that it wad suit, there's enough said.

His sister still lives in the cottage with a little flock of young relatives which her kindness has gathered around her.
For one thing after two months' experience of shell fire the sound of a shell bursting within measurable distance makes you start and shiver for a moment reflex action of the nerves. That is annoying. We both decided we would willingly change places with you and take a turn at defending your doubtless excellently executed trenches at Liberton. The line to the has just gone.
Reuben Butler!" echoed the Laird of Dumbiedikes, pacing the apartment in high disdain, "Reuben Butler, the dominie at Liberton and a dominie depute too! Reuben, the son of my cottar! Very weel, Jeanie lass, wilfu' woman will hae her way Reuben Butler! he hasna in his pouch the value o' the auld black coat he wears But it disna signify."
At a quarter of a mile's distance is a clumsy square tower, the residence of the Laird of Liberton, who, in former times, with the habits of the predatory chivalry of Germany, is said frequently to have annoyed the city of Edinburgh, by intercepting the supplies and merchandise which came to the town from the southward.
One foggy, frosty December evening, I encountered on Liberton Hill, near Edinburgh, an Irish labourer trudging homeward from the fields. Our roads lay together, and it was natural that we should fall into talk.
