Her guardians, doubtless very properly, objected to the "connection"; but our young Lochinvar, with his six or seven stalwart brothers and other trusty "lads," all mounted, and with some ready tools in case of need, went boldly and claimed his bride, and she, willingly mounting at his side, was borne off in the light of open day, joyously married, and took possession of her "but and ben," as the mistress of the blacksmith's castle.
"Look here, my fellow, now that I have you where I don't need to consider the presence of ladies, I want to ask you how you dared to mess into my private business?" Farr, towering above him, beamed down on him with tolerant indifference and did not answer. "That Lochinvar business may sound good in a poem, but it doesn't go here in Marion not when it's my business and my girl."
"So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like the young Lochinvar." "Felix, my dear fellow, I congratulate you with all my heart," said Augustus. "But I did not know you were good as a warrior." "Ah, but he is though," said the judge. "What do you think of his wounds? And if all that I hear be true, he has other battles on hand.
And in swinging and dashing lyric, again, Scott can hold his own with the best, if indeed "the best" can hold their own in this particular division with "Lochinvar" and "Bonnie Dundee," with Elspeth's ballad in the Antiquary, and the White Lady's comfortable words to poor Father Philip. The most really damaging things to be said against Scott as a poet are two.
And one finds here and there terse descriptions, or snatches of song and ballad, like the "Boat Song" and "Lochinvar," which are among the best known in our literature. In his novels Scott plainly wrote too rapidly and too much. While a genius of the first magnitude, the definition of genius as "the infinite capacity for taking pains" hardly belongs to him.
Did you ever read about Lochinvar? 'Young Lochinvar' the poet calls him rather familiarly. He did just what I'm doing now, and everybody thought very highly of him. I suppose in those days a helmet was just an ordinary part of what the well-dressed man should wear. Odd how fashions change!"
And our young Lochinvar was fully her match in bearing, dress, and manners, every inch a prince and every inch a Rutter, and with such grace of movement as he stepped beside her, that even punctilious, outspoken old Mrs.
To them he added a little sugar of milk to increase the bulk, and folded the mixture neatly in a white paper. Taken by an adult this powder would insure several hours of heavy slumber without danger to the sleeper. This he handed to Chunk McGowan, telling him to administer it in a liquid if possible, and received the hearty thanks of the backyard Lochinvar.
"Will you tell her you have followed her from London or from New York, rather that you are young Lochinvar, who came out of the West, and " "I don't know," said Carlton, meditatively, "just how I shall begin; but I know the curtain is going to rise promptly at eight o'clock about the time the soup comes on, I think. I don't see how she can help but be impressed a little bit.
William Gordon, sixth Earl of Kenmure, was descended from a younger son of the ducal house of Gordon; in 1633 Sir John Gordon of Lochinvar was created Viscount Kenmure and Lord of Lochinvar; and the estates continued in an unbroken line until they descended to William, the sixth Viscount, who was the only Scottish peer in 1715 who suffered capital punishment.
