"It must be some scheme of harassing and depredation," said Argyle, "devised by the inveterate malignity of M'Ilduy, which he terms loyalty.
He looked up, and, by the stately form and deep voice, easily recognised the Chief of the Camerons. "I have news for you," said that leader, "which is worth while to arise and listen to." "As you may take them," said the Chieftain. "Are they certain?" demanded Montrose. "Yes," answered M'Ilduy, "or another messenger should have brought them.
Let the Chiefs and leaders be called together as quickly as possible; and you, who have brought us the first news of this joyful event, for such it shall be, you, M'Ilduy, shall bring it to a joyful issue, by guiding us the best and nearest road against our enemy."
Ride to M'Ilduy, Major Dalgetty, and tell him to charge as he loves Lochaber return and bring our handful of horse to my standard. They shall be placed with the Irish as a reserve." As meets a rock a thousand waves, so Inisfail met Lochlin.
