I moreover urged him, if he still doubted, to make inquiry of Major Montgomerie, and ascertain from him whether I was not indeed the niece of his adoption, and not of his blood. Finally I humbled myself in the dust and, like a fawning reptile, clasped his knees in my arms, entreating mercy and justice.
But Gerald could ill endure the slightest allusion to the subject. "Henry," he said, "I have already told you that Miss Montgomerie and I have parted forever; but not the less devotedly do I love her.
"What! a woman engage in so unnatural a deed," remarked Henry Grantham "surely Miss Montgomerie," for he always spoke rather AT, than TO her "cannot seek to maintain a supposition so opposed to all probability neither will she be so unjust towards herself as to admit the existence of such monstrous guilt in the heart of another of her sex." "Impossible," said Gerald.
"To the charge of violating treaties," returned Major Montgomerie, who took the opposite argument in perfectly good part, "I fear, General, our Government must to a certain extent plead guilty much, however, remains to be said in excuse.
On the war breaking out, Major Montgomerie was also ordered to join the Regiment at Detroit, and thither I entreated him, to suffer me to accompany him. He consented, for knowing nothing of the causes which had turned my love into gall, he thought it not improbable that a meeting with my late lover might be productive of a removal of his prejudices, and our consequent reunion.
"When the Earl of Angus saw them coming, and perceaved Sir Patrick Hamilton foremost, and with him the Maister of Montgomerie, and saw them in sic ane furie, he knew well there was nothing but fighting, and cryed to his men to save Sir Patrick Hamilton if they might; but he came so far before the rest that he was slain hastilie, and with him the Maister of Montgomerie, with sundry other gentlemen, to the number of twelve score and twelve persons."
"Will you listen when I speak burrrr!" and he thumped his fist on the table. Poor Lady Katherine almost jumped, and the china rattled. "Forgive me, Anderson," she said, humbly; "you were saying ?" "Campion has thrown me over," glared Mr. Montgomerie. "Then I have perhaps the very thing for you," Lady Katherine said, in a relieved way, returning to her letters.
It was impossible they could mistake those features, and that face. It was Miss Montgomerie. He who lay at her feet, was her venerable uncle. He was one of the field officers who had fallen a victim to Gerald's fire, and the same ball which had destroyed his companions, had carried away his thigh, near the hip bone.
"Then must ye have passed each other on the opposite sides of Turkey Island. The officer in charge was moreover accompanied by two of the prisoners to whom I have alluded one a field officer in your own regiment." "May I ask who?" interrupted the American quickly, and slightly coloring. "Major Montgomerie." "So I suspected. Was the other officer of my regiment?"
He laughed, in spite of himself, but he still held my hand. "Describe their types to me, that I may see which I should be," he said, with great seriousness. "There is the Mackintosh kind humble and 'titsy pootsy, and a sort of under-nurse," I said. "That is not my size, I fear." "Then there is the Montgomerie selfish and bullying, and near about money." "But I am not Scotch."
