Allan M'Aulay alone seemed to recoil from his former acquaintance, although, when challenged by his brother, he could render no other reason than a reluctance to be familiar with one who had been so lately in the company of Argyle, and other enemies.
M'Aulay received us, and told us her husband was in the church distributing tokens . We arrived between twelve and one o'clock, and it was near three before he came to us. Dr. Johnson thanked him for his book, and said 'it was a very pretty piece of topography. M'Aulay did not seem much to mind the compliment. From his conversation, Dr.
All at her work the village maiden sings; Nor while she turns the giddy wheel around, Revolves the sad vicissitude of things . I thought I had heard these lines before. JOHNSON. 'I fancy not, Sir; for they are in a detached poem, the name of which I do not remember, written by one Giffard, a parson. I expected Mr. Kenneth M'Aulay , the minister of Calder, who published the history of St.
While they were plunged into their mystic conference, the two English cavaliers entered the cabin in the highest possible spirits, and announced to Angus M'Aulay that orders had been issued that all should hold themselves in readiness for an immediate march to the westward.
"My father's curse upon my father's son," said Allan, interrupting him, "if he receive from you one penny! It is enough that you claim no right to exact from him what is his own." Lord Menteith eagerly supported Allan's opinion, and the elder M'Aulay readily joined, declaring the whole to be a fool's business, and not worth speaking more about.
Sir Duncan Campbell left the hall, accompanied by Allan M'Aulay and Lord Menteith. "There goes a true-bred Campbell," said Montrose, as the envoy departed, "for they are ever fair and false." "Pardon me, my lord," said Evan Dhu; "hereditary enemy as I am to their name, I have ever found the Knight of Ardenvohr brave in war, honest in peace, and true in council."
"If such be the case," said Angus M'Aulay, "I must give orders to my followers, and make provision too for the safe conveyance of Annot Lyle; for an advance into M'Callum More's country will be a farther and fouler road than these pinks of Cumbrian knighthood are aware of." So saying, he left the cabin. "Annot Lyle!" repeated Dalgetty, "is she following the campaign?"
Aware of the fatal consequences of dissension in his little army, he pushed his horse up to the spot, and seeing MacEagh on the ground, and Dalgetty in the attitude of protecting him against M'Aulay, his quick apprehension instantly caught the cause of quarrel, and as instantly devised means to stop it.
"It is you who speak false," retorted Menteith. "I told you the obscurity of her birth was the only bar to our union that is now removed; and whom do you think yourself, that I should yield up my pretensions in your favour?" "Draw then," said M'Aulay; "we understand each other." "Not now," said Menteith, "and not here.
Montrose hastened to interrupt the progress of his castle-building, by informing him that the lady was already wooed and won, and, with her father's approbation, was almost immediately to be wedded to his kinsman, the Earl of Menteith; and that in testimony of the high respect due to M'Aulay, so long the lady's protector, he was now to request his presence at the ceremony.
