He was all of a breaking perspiration lest he should have to tell the Earl that he had given it to Maud Lindesay, as indeed he meant to do presently, along with the golden buckle of archery, that is if the dainty, mischievous-hearted maiden could be persuaded to accept thereof. "Ah," said the Earl, smiling, "I comprehend.
Character of the country Damage of provisions Adroitness of the natives in catching fish The skiff broken up Stream from the North-East supposed to be the Darling Change of country in descending the river Intercourse with the natives Prevalence of loathsome diseases among them Apparent populousness of the country Junction of several small streams The Rufus, the Lindesay, &c.
I therefore quitted its banks with the intention of exploring the country further northward, by moving round the western extremities of the mountains mentioned in my former letter, and which I have since distinguished in my map by the name of the Lindesay Range.
We hoped you would not come back at all this night, for then we could have slept together." Maud Lindesay drew a long, soft breath, and looked out of the window of the White Tower into the dark. "That is a sweet dream," she murmured. "Ah, would that it were true, and that Sholto !" She broke off short again, for the maid clapped her hands gleefully. "You said it! You said it!" she cried.
But James ever cried back farewells and jovial words long after he was out of hearing. And even on the heights of Keltonmuir he still fluttered a gay kerchief in his left hand. Then Margaret Douglas went back within the gates, where her eyes fell upon Maud Lindesay, coming through the castle yard to meet her.

"I wonder, Maudie," said Margaret Douglas, as they sat on the flat roof of the White Tower of Machecoul and looked over the battlements upon the green pine glades and wide seaward Landes, "I wonder whether we shall ever again see the water of Dee and our mother and Sholto MacKim." It is to be feared that the last part of the problem exceeded in interest all others in the eyes of Maud Lindesay.

Only a kind of ground- plan remains of the halls where Lindesay and Ruthven browbeat her forlorn Majesty. But you may climb the staircase where Roland Graeme stood sentinel, and feel a touch, of what Pepys felt when he kissed a dead Queen Katherine of Valois.
"Soit!" said the President, indifferently, "but all the same you shall be tried!" Duke John, knowing well that while his court was being held in the capital city of his province, and especially during the trial of Gilles de Retz, Nantes was no place for young maidens who had suffered like Maud Lindesay and Margaret Douglas, sent them under escort to the Castle of Angers.
Well indeed will it set you when Maud Lindesay, the maid who came from the north for company to the Earl's sister, looks forth from the canopy upon you as you stand in the archers' rank on the morrow's morn."
