It was some minutes so sudden and unexpected had been the catastrophe before any one made the slightest movement; all looking on in silent and fixed amazement, but we cannot add with much regret; till at length a serjeant stepped out of the ranks, and seized M'Intyre by the breast. "Right, Serjeant Thompson, right," said the latter, calmly; "you are doing your duty.
When shearing was over we were all paid up shearers, washers, knock-about men, cooks, and extra shepherds. Every soul about the place except Mr. M'Intyre and Mr. Falkland seemed to have got a cheque and a walking-ticket at the same time. Away they went, like a lot of boys out of school; and half of 'em didn't show as much sense either.
The clean and serviceable appearance of this band of feudal dependants called forth the admiration of Captain M'Intyre; but his uncle was still more struck by the manner in which, upon this crisis, the ancient military spirit of his house seemed to animate and invigorate the decayed frame of the Earl, their leader.
Captain M'Intyre, with the gallantry to be expected from his age and profession, attached himself to the service of Miss Wardour, and offered her, on every possible opportunity, those marks of attention which Lovel would have given the world to have rendered, and was only deterred from offering by the fear of her displeasure.
It has a local propriety, since it was the conventual signal for spreading the repast in their refectory, and it has the advantage over the tongue of my sister's prime minister, Jenny, that, though not quite so loud and shrill, it ceases ringing the instant you drop the bell-rope: whereas we know, by sad experience, that any attempt to silence Jenny, only wakes the sympathetic chime of Miss Oldbuck and Mary M'Intyre to join in chorus."
If he will permit me, in friendly conciliation, to inform Captain M'Intyre of his real name, for we are led to conclude that of Lovel is assumed" "I beg your pardon, sir, but I cannot admit that inference." " Or at least," said Lesley, proceeding, "that it is not the name by which Mr. Lovel has been at all times distinguished if Mr.
Mr. Hugh M'Intyre and Mr. J. Drinnan were the half-backs in this contest. No such new-fangled device as three half-backs was ever thought of in Scotland at that time, and you may be sure the pair had hard work. Of all the players sent out by the Rangers, M'Intyre was in many respects the most powerful. He was, however, to be outspoken, the coarsest.
Oldbuck serving the King our master, Captain M'Intyre, for I suppose you know I have taken up the sword?" "It is one of the emblems of justice, doubtless," answered the Antiquary; "but I should have thought the scales would have suited you better, Bailie, especially as you have them ready in the warehouse." "Very good, Monkbarns excellent!
"The Lord bless your honour," began the Blue-Gown, with the genuine mendicant whine, "and long life to you! weel pleased am I to hear that young Captain M'Intyre is like to be on his legs again sune Think on your poor bedesman the day." "Aha, old true-penny!" replied the Antiquary.
I thought of printing my Essay, which is signed Pacificator; but there was no need, as the matter was taken up by the town-council of the borough." "But I assure you, my dear sir, there is nothing between Captain M'Intyre and me that can render such respectable interference necessary." "See it be so; for otherwise, I will stand second to both parties."
