He went forward to meet and to stop the carriage, out of which, at his suggestion, Mrs. de Noël readily came down to join us. "Do not get up, Mr. Lyndsay," she called out as she came towards us, "or I will go away. I don't want to sit down." "Sit down, Lindy," said Atherley sharply, "Cissy likes tobacco in the open air." She rested her arms upon the gate and looked downwards.
"If my nephew were not married," said the Colonel, "I should regard his embarrassment with much suspicion embarrassed at every point, from his travels about the country to the question of a young lady at Twickenham. I wonder who that young lady can be not one of the Viponts, or I should have heard. Are there any young ladies on the Lyndsay side? Eh, Darrell?"
Antiquary, b. at Fochabers, Elginshire, emigrated to America and practised law in Baltimore; but on the outbreak of the Revolutionary War returned to Britain, and settled in London as a clerk in the Board of Trade.

The Pretenders were defeated by Sir Lyndsay Bethune, and thus England established the stability of the throne of the Kajars in the direct line, and carried out the will of the great Fateh Ali Shah, who had appointed his grandson to succeed him after the death of his son, Abbas Mirza.

I understood that she wished to be alone, and was moving towards the door as quietly as possible when I was suddenly checked by her hand upon my elbow. "Mr. Lyndsay, why are you going? Was I rude?

Our English enemies have been fierce and vindictive blackguards, as witness Roebuck, Lyndsay, and Lord R. Cecil, while most of our friends there have deemed it the best policy to make use of very moderate language, when speaking of our cause, or of the conduct of our public men.
