Suddenly before the young man could answer Dobson bustled toward him. The innkeeper was labouring under some strong emotion, for he seemed to be pleading and pointing urgently towards the door.

He then fell on the floor, scrambled to his feet, tumbled out, and dashed his own whisky bottle through the window of the refreshment room. 'Me ane o' the polis! he yelled, and was staggering towards the exit, when he was collared by two policemen, attracted by the noise. He embraced one of them, murmuring 'ma bonny Jean! and then doubled up, his head lolling on his shoulder.

It's time we're wantin', and the longer they think we're a' in the auld Tower the better for us. What news o' the polis?" He listened to Sir Archie's report with a gloomy face. "Not afore the darkenin'? They'll be ower late the polis are aye ower late. It looks as if we had the job to do oursels. What's your notion?" "God knows," said the baronet, whose eyes were on Saskia. "What's yours?"

Bedad now it was a very lucky thing it so happint there was none of the pólis or red coats about, be raison of their gettin' notice the buryin' was somewhere else oncommon lucky." "It's as quare as the rest of it," said Peter Dooley, who had heard the story before, "that nobody among them had had the wit to put a few brickbats in it, or some good big lumps of heavy stones.
"We can't count on the polis," Dougal announced, "and when the foreigners is finished wi' the Tower they'll come on here. If no', we must make them. What is it the sodgers call it? Forcin' a battle? Now see here! There's the two roads into this place, the back door and the verandy, leavin' out the front door which is chained and lockit.
