It seems that Barrow and one or two stagers have taken alarm at Lockhart's character as a satirist, and his supposed accession to some of the freaks in Blackwood's Magazine, and down comes young D'Israeli to Scotland imploring Lockhart to make interest with my friends in London to remove objections, and so forth.
Of course the ultimate sale of the cigar-case to this American could be proved, seeing that the case had got back into stock again, and at the same time the incident of the change quite forgotten. And when you go and ask questions at Lockhart's as you were pretty sure to do, as Henson knew you are told of the sale only to the American.
Dined with the family. After dinner Lockhart's proofs came in and occupied me for the evening. I wish I have not made that article too long, and Lockhart will not snip away. December 8. Went to Court and stayed there a good while. Made some consultations in the Advocates' Library, not furiously to the purpose. Court in the morning. Sent off Lockhart's proof, which I hope will do him some good.
He spoke the pretty Zulu language it is something like Italian. We went on. The track went steep down hill to a spruit where the water lay in pools. And there on the opposite hill was that gallant little British Army, halted in a position of extreme danger, absolutely commanded on all sides but one, and preparing for tea as unconcernedly as if they were in a Lockhart's shop in Goswell Road.
Resolved if I did go to carry my son with me, which would give me a double vote. Had some disagreeable correspondence about this with Lord Minto and the Sheriff. We had one or two persons at home in great wretchedness to dinner. Lockhart's looks showed the misery he felt. I was not able to make any fight, and the evening went off as heavily as any I ever spent in the course of my life.
His parting proverb, by the way, was probably suggested by one of the Border ballads, in which species of lore he was almost as great a proficient as the Sheriff himself; for we read in "Edom o' Gordon," "Them look to freits, my master dear. Then freits will follow them." Lockhart's Life of Scott, Vol.
"Not strange, seeing that I scratched them there last night," said David, drily. "When? Oh, it was after you left my house last night." "And it has been some time in your possession, sir?" "Oh, confound it, no. It was well, it was a present from a friend for a little service rendered. So far as I understand, it was purchased at Lockhart's, in North Street.
According to a statement of Lockhart's, "Cavaliers were to look for the best" from Hamilton's mission: it is fairly clear that he was to bring over James in disguise to England, as in Thackeray's novel, 'Esmond. But the sword of Mohun broke the Jacobite plans. "The best cause in Europe was lost," cried Bishop Atterbury, "for want of spirit."
The company whose operations I watched, Lieutenant Lockhart's, killed one of these with a volley, and we found him sitting by a little pool, propped against a stone. He had been an ugly man originally, but now that the bones of his jaw and face were broken in pieces by the bullet, he was hideous to look upon. His only garment was a ragged blue linen cloak fastened at the waist.
As for food, we grumble at times, just as people at home are grumbling at the Savoy, or Lockhart's. It is the Briton's habit so to do. But in moments of repletion we are fain to confess that the organisation of our commissariat is wonderful.
