But to your father's affairs Ye maun think that in thae twenty years by-gane, some o' the Hieland lairds and chiefs hae come to some sma' sense o' their ain interest your father and others hae bought the woods of Glen-Disseries, Glen Kissoch, Tober-na-Kippoch, and mony mair besides, and your father's house has granted large bills in payment, and as the credit o' Osbaldistone and Tresham was gude for I'll say before Mr.
But I have been led away, while talking of the brig and the officers, and had almost forgotten to narrate a circumstance which occurred two days before we sailed. I was with O'Brien in the cabin, when Mr Osbaldistone the first lieutenant, came in, and reported that a boy had come on board to volunteer for the ship. "What sort of a lad is he?" said O'Brien.
But, as if to indemnify herself for a uniformity so uncommon in her productions, Dame Nature had rendered Rashleigh Osbaldistone a striking contrast in person and manner, and, as I afterwards learned, in temper and talents, not only to his brothers, but to most men whom I had hitherto met with.
He set up the most piercing and dreadful cries that fear ever uttered I may well term them dreadful, for they haunted my sleep for years afterwards. As the murderers, or executioners, call them as you will, dragged him along, he recognised me even in that moment of horror, and exclaimed, in the last articulate words I ever heard him utter, "Oh, Mr. Osbaldistone, save me! save me!"
He paused, however, on the threshold, and went on in a solemn tone of deep contrition, "Firstly, I hae thought my ain thoughts on the Sabbath secondly, I hae gi'en security for an Englishman and, in the third and last place, well-a-day! I hae let an ill-doer escape from the place of imprisonment But there's balm in Gilead, Mr. Osbaldistone Mattie, I can let mysell in see Mr.
There has not the like come there since the battle of Almanza, where the total of the British loss was summed up to five thousand men killed and wounded, besides a floating balance of missing but what will that be to the news that Osbaldistone and Tresham have stopped!"
"Supposing this to be the case, you will instantly set out for the north of England, to pay your uncle a visit, and see the state of his family. But some farther arrangements may be necessary, and for these your presence may be requisite. You shall have farther instructions at Osbaldistone Hall, where you will please to remain until you hear from me.
After shaking hands with me, he left us to help couple up the hounds, and Miss Vernon rode with me to Osbaldistone Hall, giving me, on the way, a description of its inmates, of whom, she said, the only conversible beings beside herself were the old priest and Rashleigh Sir Hildebrand's youngest son. II. Rashleigh's Villainy
I say, my dear Tresham, that, considering how very unpleasant a prolonged residence at Osbaldistone Hall must have been to a young man of my age, and with my habits, it might have seemed very natural that I should have pointed out all these disadvantages to my father, in order to obtain his consent for leaving my uncle's mansion.
Owen, my cousin's name being also Osbaldistone, the name of the company will sound every bit as well in your ears." "O fie upon you, Mr. Francis, when you know how well I love you Your cousin, indeed! a Papist, no doubt, like his father, and a disaffected person to the Protestant succession that's another item, doubtless." "There are many very good men Catholics, Mr. Owen," rejoined I.
