"This instant, my Lord. I'll despatch an aide-de-camp. The troops shall be in marching order before noon. Oh, here's the man I want! O'Malley, come here. Mount your horse and dash into town. Send for Brotherton and M'Gregor to quarters, and announce the news as quickly as possible." "But what am I to announce, Sir George?" "That the French are in retreat, Massena in retreat, my lad."
The most remarkable and well known of his vaticinations is the following: "Whenever a M'Lean with long hands, a Fraser with a black spot on his face, a M'Gregor with a black knee, and a club-footed M'Leod of Raga, shall have existed; whenever there shall have been successively three M'Donalds of the name of John, and three M'Kinnons of the same Christian name, oppressors will appear in the country, and the people will change their own land for a strange one."
When I saw you coming, it reminded me of one time I got snapped by Barefooted Bob, on Wo-Winya, while M'Gregor owned the station. For all the world such a night as this-smoky moonlight, and as good as day.
When his father told Mr. M'Gregor that John would have to leave school, the schoolmaster was so moved with regret at the thought of losing so promising a scholar, that he said that if John could find time for any study during the day he would be glad to have him come to his house two or three nights in the week, and to go over with him then what he had learned.

"I am not sure, Mr. M'Gregor, if Geoffry does not teach us a lesson sometimes." Uncle Hugh called him Geoffry, much to Jeff's amusement.
"The mon is verra harrd up, an' it's a sair thing that Queensland fever," was the only remark M'Gregor made. But we knew now that there was a soft spot in his heart somewhere. Next morning the drover got a crisp-looking cheque.

That was on Wo-Winya again shortly before M'Gregor sold the station to Stoddart, and just before the two of them were sent out to the Diamantina" "M'Gregor and Stoddart, of course?" I gently suggested. "Yes, Tom; I thought I made that clear." "So you did, Steve. I beg pardon." "Don't mention it, Tom."
It was a ragged, unkempt pony, pitifully poor and very footsore, at first sight, an absolute "moke"; but a second glance showed colossal round ribs, square hips, and a great length of rein, the rest hidden beneath a wealth of loose hair. He looked like "a good journey horse", possibly something better. We gathered round while M'Gregor questioned the drover.
