A happier though more or less theological influence on his childhood he found in the adventures and sufferings of the Covenanters. I can remember no proof that he was fascinated by the greatness of Montrose. One would rather have possessed the romance.

Now, what say you, Alan? Could not a cadet of Royal Ecossais get a furlough, slip over the marches, and call in upon a Leyden student?" "Well, and I would think he could!" cried he.
At first sight the cars appeared to be labelled with nothing but Cocoa and Whisky and Empire Palaces of Varieties Open Every Evening; but a little perseverance discovered a narrow strip of valuable information painted along the side of each car.
