Any more doubts, gentlemen? can no more plausible reasons be discovered for postponing the payment of our duty, and discharge of our oaths and engagements? Meantime your king waits your declaration by my faith he hath but a frozen reception! 'Redgauntlet, said Sir Richard Glendale, calmly, 'your reproaches shall not goad me into anything of which my reason disapproves.
Any half-dozen of such books as "Redgauntlet," "The Pirate," and "Kenilworth" were sufficient to give a man the reputation of being great and yet even that overwhelming opulence was at last worn down into mental poverty. Poor Scott never gave himself time to recover when once his descent of the last perilous slope had begun, and he suffered for his folly in not resting.
If the reader turns to December 18, 1825, he will see that this is not the first allusion in the Journal to his "first love," an innocent attachment, to which we owe the tenderest pages, not only of Redgauntlet , but of the Lay of the Last Minstrel , and of Rokeby . In all these works the heroine has certain distinctive features drawn from one and the same haunting dream.

So, methinks, a little kind warning as to consequences were not amiss, lest they come upon you unawares. 'If the warning is really kind, Mr.
Now Redgauntlet, poor fellow, is far worse off he is, you may have heard, still under the lash of the law, the mark of the beast is still on his forehead, poor gentleman, and that makes us cautious very cautious, which I am sure there is no occasion to be towards you, as no one of your appearance and manners would wish to trepan a gentleman under misfortune.
Cadell has an interest in some of the Novels, amounting to one-half; but the following are entirely my own, viz.: St. Ronan's Well, 3 vols. Tales of Crusaders, 4 " First Chronicles, 2 " Anne of Geierstein, 3 " Redgauntlet, 3 " Woodstock, 3 " Second Chronicles, 3 " Count Robert, 3 " In all, twenty-four volumes, which will begin printing after Quentin Durward, and concludes the year 1831.
This letter, Mr. Fairford, putting a sealed one into his hand, 'is addressed, you observe, to Mr. H of B , and contains your credentials for that gentlemen, who is also known by his family name of Redgauntlet, but less frequently addressed by it, because it is mentioned something invidiously in a certain Act of Parliament.
'Five hundred men! said one of the Welsh squires; 'Cot bless us! and pray you, what cood could five hundred men do?
