This was to lie the night in Kinlochaline in the public inn; to cross Morven the next day to Ardgour, and lie the night in the house of one John of the Claymore, who was warned that I might come; the third day, to be set across one loch at Corran and another at Balachulish, and then ask my way to the house of James of the Glens, at Aucharn in Duror of Appin.
"What does this mean?" Mrs. Presty asked. "It means, ma'am, that I have something to say to you." "Apparently, something that can't be said with common civility? Be as rude as you please; I am well used to it." Linley wisely took no notice of this. "Since you have lived at Mount Morven," he proceeded, "I think you have found me, on the whole, an easy man to get on with.
They are often divided transversely, at nearly equal distances, like the joints in a vertebral column, as in the Giant's Causeway, in Ireland. They vary exceedingly in respect to length and diameter. Dr. MacCulloch mentions some in Skye which are about 400 feet long; others, in Morven, not exceeding an inch.
But who would brave the vengeance of the gods of night?" Then the elders shook their heads approvingly; but one answered and said: "Shall we take the herdsman's son as our equal? No!" The name of the man who thus answered was Darvan, and his words were pleasing to the elders. But Morven spoke out: "Of a truth, O councilors of kings! I look not to be an equal with yourselves.
He says: 'Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life'; and so I am sure that if any one does not have life, spiritual life, it is because she will not come unto him." "I'd like to come," said one girl, timidly, "but I don't see exactly how." "I dare say most of you would. Mr. Morven and I have been talking it over.
But so ordain the dread kings of the night! Who shall gainsay their word?" "The day that sees me king, sees Orna thine," answered the prince. Morven walked forth, as was his wont, alone; and he said to himself, "the king is old, yet may he live long between me and mine hope!" and he began to cast in his mind how he might shorten the time.
"The star of the west hath spoken to me and thus saith the star: "'Evil shall fall upon the kingly house of Oestrich yea, ere the morning dawns; wherefore, go thou mourning into the streets, and wake the inhabitants to woe! "So I rose and did the bidding of the star." And while Morven was yet speaking, a servant of the king's house ran up to the crowd, crying loudly: "The king is dead!"
NOT far from the source of the famous river, which rises in the mountains between Loch Katrine and Loch Lomond, and divides the Highlands and the Lowlands of Scotland, travelers arrive at the venerable gray walls of Mount Morven; and, after consulting their guide books, ask permission to see the house.
"'No, replied the blue-eyed chief, 'I never yield to mortal man. Dark Cathullin shall be great or dead." Then Cathullin bade the scout summon his warriors to council. And when they were gathered there was much talk, for some would give battle at once and some delay until Fingal, the King of Morven, should come to aid them.
This was Mr. Linley's younger brother, known at present to be traveling on the Continent. Two trustworthy old servants had been left in charge at Mount Morven and there was the whole story; and that was why the house was shut up. In a cottage on the banks of one of the Cumberland Lakes, two ladies were seated at the breakfast-table.
