Yes, Aminadab could not get to the holy of holies except by passing through Logie kirkyard, a small and most romantic Golgotha, on the left of the road leading to Lochee, whose inhabitants it contained, and which was so limited and crowded, that one might prefigure it as one of those holes or dungeons in Michael Angelo's pictures, belching forth spirits in the shape of inverted tadpoles, the tail uppermost, and yet representing ascending sparks.
Margaret went quickly to the queen's house, but there did she neither sew nor sing. She sat twining her fingers in and out, while she cried, 'Woe is me that ever I was born, or that ever I left my home in Denmark. I would I had never seen the young Laird of Logie. And then Margaret wept bitterly, for having seen the young laird, she loved him well.
It happened that our said Aminadab was one of those favoured individuals; and it is lucky for this generation that he was, for if he had not been, there would assuredly have been no records of the Cradle and the black lady. Fletcher had also the property of Balinsloe as well as Logie. It was in a little parlour off the big kitchen that Janet received her henchmen.
By-and-by she was joined by the mystery yes, that being who had so long been the terror of Logie House to all but the master, who knew nothing of him. He was there; but Aminadab could not see more of him than his head, which was, as usual, enveloped in the same white cloth. He heard their conversation, of which not a word could he understand.
Logie himself, that I am to obtain as accurate a statement as possible as to how matters are going on here; as it is important that the governor should be able to inform vessels sailing from Gibraltar, east, whether they can or can not put safely into the Moorish ports.
There is no stone to point out the grave of the Indian princess, who lies as becomes, too, in our boasted land of liberty, entitled to her boast in an equality at length, which even pride cannot deny among the humble artisans and cottars of Lochee. Did Fletcher Read, on that after day, when Panmure blew the white iron trump, not expect to see Kalee rise up and seek judgment on the house of Logie?
Ay, and yet you'll see a beggar wretch, clad in tanterwallops rags is owre guid a word coming to Logie door, and looking as if she had the right to demand meal from me, merely because she has two at her feet and one in her arms. Such honourable gaberlunzies get no meal from me. My master was keen for the match; but the Nabob was shy of the white face.
Margaret Twynlace smiled to herself as she opened the door of the ante-room. Carmichael stepped into the room, stopped short, and stared. The open window, the rope that hung there, told him all he had come to ask. He stared, but never a word did he find to say. Then maid Margaret laughed aloud and clapped her hands for glee. 'Dost wish thy prisoner, the Laird of Logie? she cried.
Supposing Knox, then, to have been born in 1513-15, and to have been educated at St. Andrews, we can see how he comes to know so much about the progress of the new religious ideas at that University, between 1529 and 1535. "The Well of St. Leonard's College" was a notorious fountain of heresies, under Gawain Logie, the Principal.
Repton," the latter began, "after the spirit you showed, the other day, I shall be glad to utilize your services still farther, if you are willing." "I shall be very glad to be useful in any work upon which you may think fit to employ me, sir." "I wish to communicate with Mr. Logie, at Tangiers," the governor said. "It is a month, now, since we have had any news from him.
