So she was silent, reserved, and fretful. At length came the last day of her London season, and her last visit to her niece. "I would come because it's my last day," said Lady Macleod; "but really I'm so hurried, and have so many things to do, that I hardly know how to manage it." "It's very kind," said Alice, giving her aunt an affectionate squeeze of the hand.
Why should you escape altogether?" Alice could not escape altogether, and therefore was closeted with Lady Midlothian for the best part of an hour.

This John Fraser, an Aberdeen man, discovered on the second night after Macleod's return to Castle Dare.
