Think it no discourtesy of mine, but lords' commands must be obeyed, and Marmion and Douglas order that you shall return directly to your kinsman, Lord Fitz-Clare." The startled Abbess loud exclaimed, but Clara was speechless and deadly pale. "Cheer thee, my child!" the Abbess cried; "they dare not tear thee from my care, to ride alone among soldiers."
Marmion 1808, Lady of Lake 1810, began to build Abbotsford 1812, Waverley novels began and continued 1814-31, health began to fail 1817, made Baronet 1820, ruined by failure of Ballantynes 1826, devotes rest of his life to clearing off debt by novels and historical works, Tales of a Grandfather, Life of Napoleon, etc., health finally gave way 1830, d. 1832.
Were I to speak of any other it would only be vain invention." "You mean about Professor Marmion and his mathematical miracles?" said the Prince somewhat uneasily. "I do," replied the Egyptian firmly. "I say now what I thought when I saw him work them.
As there was no one under the rather ineffectual roof which sheltered him to whose hand he could entrust the billet at the Marmion hotel one had to be one's own messenger he walked to the village post-office to request that his note should be put into Miss Chancellor's box.
She was a great admirer of Shakspeare, whom she placed on the highest pedestal of human genius. She also admired Sir Walter Scott's poetry, especially "Marmion."

The best and greatest part of the life of Hannah More was devoted to the education and elevation of her sex.

These scenes are described with spirit and loving interest; but it is by Tweedside that the tourist will find his most pleasant guide in Lauder's book.
His face was badly scratched; his jacket and shirt had disappeared altogether; his breast and arms were covered with blood, and so was his knife, which he still held in his hand. But, where was Marmion, that he was not following up his enemy? The answer was plain. The dog had been worsted in his encounter with the robber, and Frank was left to fight his battles alone.
The body of the dead king, afterwards found by Dacre, was taken to Berwick and presented to his commander, who had it embalmed and conveyed to the monastery of Sheyne in Surrey. The poetic instincts of the Scots were deeply moved by the woes of the fatal field of Flodden, and innumerable poems and ballads record the sad story, the crowning work of all being Scott's Marmion.

"If it is all the same to you, Mr. Pierre, I'll not go to the mountains this evening." The Ranchero did not wait to receive the dog.
Madame Fribsby looking furtively up at her picture of the dragoon, and inwards into her own wounded memory, said that men would be men, and as long as they were men would be deceivers; and she pensively quoted some lines from Marmion, requesting to know where deceiving lovers should rest? Mrs.
