Then the three Macleods continued on their way through the damp-smelling fir-wood; over the bridge that spanned the brawling brook; again through the fir-wood; until they reached the open space surrounding the big stone house. They stood for a minute there high over the great plain of the sea, that was beautiful with a thousand tints of light.
"Then you have murdered him!" said the elder sister in an awestricken voice; and she pretended to withdraw a bit from him. "I don't believe in the Macleods having become civilized, peaceable people. I believe they would have no hesitation in murdering any one that was in their way."
Indeed, you won't find quieter folks anywhere than the Macdonalds and Macleods are now." "I don't know how far you are to be trusted," said she, pretending to look at him with some doubts. Now they reached the gate of the gardens. "Do let us go in, Gerty," said Miss Carry.
If I was in any danger, I know which of all the men I have seen I would rather have in front of me with his arms free; and I don't suppose he would be thinking of any looking-glass! If you want to know about the race he represents, read English history, and the story of England's wars. If you go to India, or China, or Africa, or the Crimea, you will hear something about the Macleods, I think!"
A few weeks later there was another excursion to the emerald glooms of the forest, but this was limited in number to the Macleods and DeBerczys, with a few of their intimate friends. Wanda was absent on one of her indefinite expeditions indefinite in length as well as in object, though the wigwam of her foster-feather was one of the points of interest visited by the party.
To avenge the offence given, Macleod sailed with such a body of men as rendered resistance hopeless. The natives, fearing his vengeance, concealed themselves in the cavern; and, after strict search, the Macleods went on board their galleys after doing what mischief they could, concluding the inhabitants had left the isle.
The Mackenzies, the Frasers, the Grants, the Munros, the Mackays, the Macleods, dwelt at a great distance from the territory of Mac Callum More. They had no dispute with him; they owed no debt to him: and they had no reason to dread the increase of his power.
It is the anniversary of the battle of Worcester; and then the Macleods were so smashed up that for a long time the other clans relieved them from military service." "You are not much of a Jacobite, Sir Keith," said Mrs. Ross, smiling. "Only when I hear a Jacobite song sung," said he. "Then who can fail to be a Jacobite?" He had become quite friendly with this amiable lady.
He was bound to give her his sympathy, and to make light as well as he could of those very evils which he had been the first to reveal to her. He tried to write in as frank and friendly a spirit as she had done; the letter was quite cheerful. "Did you know," said he, "that once upon a time the chief of the Macleods married a fairy?
"The night is cold," she said in the Gaelic, "and my children are cold; and it is a long way that we are going." He answered her in her own tongue. "You will be warmer if you go below; but here is a plaid for you, anyway;" and with that he took the plaid from round his shoulders and flung it across the children, and passed on. That was the way of the Macleods of Dare.
