"I have been in town for a day or two, and heard no conversation but about M'Lean, a fashionable highwayman, who is just taken, and who robbed me among others. * His father was an Irish Dean; his brother is a Calvinist minister in great esteem at the Hague. * He took to the road with only one companion, Plunkett, a journeyman apothecary, my other friend. * M'Lean had a lodging in St.
There was a little miserable publick-house close upon the shore, to which we should have gone, had we landed last night: but this morning Col resolved to take us directly to the house of Captain Lauchlan M'Lean, a descendant of his family, who had acquired a fortune in the East Indies, and taken a farm in Col. We had about an English mile to go to it.
'Umph! said Sir Allan, but not with an accent of assent, 'I mean that other house. 'Oh ! that belongs to a very honest fellow Jamie , also a writer to the signet. 'Umph! said the Highland chief of M'Lean with more emphasis than before, 'And yon smaller house? 'That belongs to a Stirling man; I forget his name, but I am sure he is a writer too; for . Sir Allan who had recoiled a quarter of a circle backward at every response, now wheeled the circle entire and turned his back on the landscape, saying, 'My good friend, I must own you have a pretty situation here; but d n your neighbourhood. WALTER SCOTT.
Hubbard in the things we brought along with us, and did the best we could. I blazed a tree near where the tent has been. This I wrote deeply: L. HUBBARD died here 18th October, 1903, and will be brought out by T. BLAKE, DUNCAN M'LEAN and G. ELSON. Came on a little farther this evening. The boys yet do not hardly think I can find the rest of the things.
Bakie has his trapping on Beaver River, and he knew all about it, and tells me that we had come over the worst part of the river. At the New Year I saw Duncan M'Lean again, and he said he would meet me on the 16th January at Donald's, to start from there up the bush to get Mr. Hubbard's body, and the things we left, if I can find them.
Campbell, who had been so polite yesterday, came this morning on purpose to breakfast with us, and very obligingly furnished us with horses to proceed on our journey to Mr. M'Lean's of Lochbuy, where we were to pass the night. We dined at the house of Dr. Alexander M'Lean, another physician in Mull, who was so much struck with the uncommon conversation of Dr.
We sent to hire horses to carry us across the island of Mull to the shore opposite to Inchkenneth, the residence of Sir Allan M'Lean, uncle to young Col, and Chief of the M'Leans, to whose house we intended to go the next day. Our friend Col went to visit his aunt, the wife of Dr. Alexander M'Lean, a physician, who lives about a mile from Tobermorie. Dr.
Captain M'Lean's house being in some confusion, on account of Mrs. M'Lean being expected to lie-in, we resolved to go to Mr. M'Sweyn's, where we arrived very wet, fatigued, and hungry. In this situation, we were somewhat disconcerted by being told that we should have no dinner till late in the evening, but should have tea in the mean time. Dr.
His assiduity paid a high compliment to the sterling qualities of the British seaman, but for the Navy it spelt wholesale depletion. In home ports he was everywhere in evidence. No ship of war could lie in Leith Roads but she lost a good part of her crew through his seductions. "M'Kirdy & M'Lean, petty-fogging writers," were the chief crimps at Greenock.
Johnson; he might be mistaken. M'LEAN. 'He was wicked, to shut his eyes against the Scriptures; and worthy men in England have since confuted him to all intents and purposes. JOHNSON. 'I know not who has confuted him to all intents and purposes. Here again there was a double talking, each continuing to maintain his own argument, without hearing exactly what the other said. I regretted that Dr.
