My faith, I think your sex are the true scientists: you try experiment for no other reason than to see effect." "You forget my deep interest in Captain Moray," said I, with airy boldness. He laughed. He was disarmed. How could he think I meant it! "My imagination halts," he rejoined. "Millennium comes when you are interested.
In view of the precarious interests of the great cause, Knox spoke out with such frankness as to alienate the most powerful noble in the country, and the one whom he respected most Lord James Stuart, afterward the Regent Moray. The marriage of Mary with Darnley , again, however, led them to common counsels, as both saw in this marriage the most serious menace against the new religion.

But indeed it has been my good friend the Chevalier here who has given me the best council I have held in many a day.
Do you think, Moray, you could do this without breaking down at the supreme moment?" "I think so, sir." "That's good," said the Colonel; "there's a frank modesty about that `think. But do you dare to run the risk for the sake of your officers and brother-privates, who are in a very tight place?" "I don't think now, sir," I said: "I dare go." "Then you shall, Moray." "To-night, sir?"
However this may be, it is abundantly clear, from contemporary and undoubtedly authentic records still happily extant, that in the twelfth century Freskyn de Moravia and his immediate successors were the guardians appointed by one Scottish king after another to protect the fertile coast lands of Moray and Nairn alike against the race of MacHeth from the hills and the Norse invader from the sea; and that on the extensive territories which they possessed, they built stately castles and endowed cathedrals and churches with lands and tithes, providing from their family not only high ecclesiastical dignitaries to serve them, but distinguished soldiers and administrators to give them peace; services which their successors in the thirteenth century were, in their turn, destined to repeat and continue in Sutherland, Strathnavern and Caithness, when the old Norse earldom there had been broken up and effectively incorporated in the kingdom of Scotland.
Immediately after David's death, King William the Lion, who had, in 1211, suppressed a rebellion in Moray of the Thanes of Ross under Guthred son of Donald Ban MacWilliam whom a few years later he captured and beheaded, came to Moray again; and, about the 1st of August 1214, King William demanded, and received Earl John's daughter, whose name is not known, as a hostage for her father's loyalty, and a guarantee of the peace then made, under which John was probably recognised as earl and as entitled to his reduced territory.

Arran explained to Knox that, if ever the plot came to light, he would be involved in the crime of guilty concealment of foreknowledge of treason.
Nor was this sympathy of race diminished by their common dangers from a common enemy. On the eve of the Norman invasion we saw how heartily the Irish were with Somerled and the men of Moray in resisting the feudal polity of the successors of Malcolm Caen-More.
You must learn, my young provincial, that you are not to supersede France and the King. It is now seven o'clock; you will march your men back into quarters." Then turning to me, he raised his cap. "You will find your cloak more comfortable, Captain Moray," said he, and he motioned Gabord to hand it to me, as he came forward. "May I breakfast with you?" he added courteously. He yawned a little.
There seemed a chance that, north of Clyde and Forth, there would be a Celtic kingdom; while Lothian and Cumbria would be merged in England.
