I drew back the curtains and unfastened the shutter, which offered egress to the grounds, then, having rung for Mrs. Stott to remove the supper-tray, I sat down by the fire to await Munro's return, and began musing concerning the hopelessness of my position, the gulf of poverty and prejudice and struggle that lay between Helena and myself.
They are reckoned by him among "false antiquities," while, for my part, I know not of what age they are, but incline I believe that many of them are not of the nineteenth century. This is the extent of our difference. On the other hand I heartily concur with Dr. One observation must be made on Dr. Munro's logical method, as announced by himself.
Over the latter part of that week, as being utterly unimportant in its events or consequences, I pass rapidly, only saying that, when Saturday came, I followed Munro's advice, and ran down to Brighton, under the idea that by so doing I should thoroughly strengthen myself for the next five days' ordeal. But the idea was a mistaken one.
As he rode up Malcolm drew his pistol, and said to the man: "If you move a foot I will send a bullet through your head." "What is this?" exclaimed the duke in astonishment, "and who are you, sir, who with such scant courtesy ride into my camp?" Malcolm raised his vizor. "I am Captain Graheme of Munro's regiment," he said, "and I have ridden here to warn your excellency of treachery.
"I will just read over the account of the inquest once again," I decided, as I bolted and barred the chain after Munro's departure; and so, by way of ending the night pleasantly, I took out the report, and studied it till two, chiming from a neighbouring church, reminded me that the fire was out, that I had a bad cold, and that I ought to have been between the blankets and asleep hours previously.
I did go and had a sight on her, and there, to be sure, was Munro's wife, though her I did see, I'll be sworn, in among the rocks where they shut us up." "And was Munro there?" "Where in the rocks?" "No in the tavern? You say his wife had come back did he trust himself there?" "I rather guess not seeing as how he'd stand a close chance of 'quaintance with the rope.
*The most comprehensive list of these objects is that given in Munro's Prehistoric Japan: "Objects of iron , Swords and daggers; , Hilt-guards and pommels; , Arrow-heads; , Spear-heads and halberd-heads; Armour and helmets; , Stirrups and bridle-bits; , Ornamental trappings for horses; , Axes, hoes, or chisels; , Hoes or spades; , Chains; , Rings; , Buckles; , Smith's tongs or pincers; , Nails; , Caskets, handles, hinges, and other fittings.
The redoubt having fallen, and Munro's men having effected a lodgment in the town, while the retreat on one side was cut off by the force of Gustavus, and on the other by a strong body of cavalry under Marshal Horn, the governor sent a drummer to Colonel Munro to say that he was ready to surrender, and to ask for terms.
Nobody knows, but every one not wholly ignorant sees the absurdity of speaking of figurines as "totems"; of course the term is not Dr. Munro's. We know not their original meaning, but they occur "all over the place"; in amber on the Baltic coast, with grotesque faces carved in amber.
Munro's regiment had taken no part in the storming of Marienburg, but was formed up on the north side of the river in readiness to advance should the first attack be repelled, and many were wounded by the shot of the enemy while thus inactive. Malcolm while binding up the arm of his sergeant who stood next to him felt a sharp pain shoot through his leg, and at once fell to the ground.
