He was a professor in the Revolution warld, but he liked an orra sough of the warld, and a tune on the pipes weel aneugh at a by-time; and, bune a', he thought he had gude security for the siller he len my gudesire ower the stocking at Primrose Knowe. Away trots my gudesire to Redgauntlet Castle wi' a heavy purse and a light heart, glad to be out of the laird's danger.
'It may be so, replied Redgauntlet, with great equanimity; 'doubtless you know best; only the writ appears regular, and with that respect for the law which has been, he said, with hypocritical formality, 'a leading feature of my character through life, I cannot dispense with giving my poor aid to the support of a legal warrant. Look at it yourself, and be satisfied it is no trick of mine.
'That shall be my business, said Redgauntlet 'if we have but time to bring back the brig, all will be well I will instantly dispatch a party in a fishing skiff to bring her to. He gave his commands to two or three of the most active among his followers. 'Let him be once on board, he said, 'and there are enough of us to stand to arms and cover his retreat.
He stepped from one to another, and, amid sobs and bursting tears, received the adieus of the last remnant which had hitherto supported his lofty pretensions, and addressed them individually with accents of tenderness and affection. The general drew a little aloof, and signed to Redgauntlet to speak with him while this scene proceeded.
'I give you my honour that your friend is well, interrupted Redgauntlet; 'perhaps I may permit you to see him, if you will but submit with patience to a fate which is inevitable.
'Do as thou wilt with them, said Redgauntlet, who had listened impatiently to his statement; 'so thou dost but keep them from getting out and making some alarm in the country, I care not. 'A Quaker and a lawyer! said Darsie. 'This must be Fairford and Geddes. Uncle, I must request of you' 'Nay, nephew, interrupted Redgauntlet, 'this is no time for asking questions.
These gentlemen, who had come thither chiefly for the purpose of meeting with Mr. Redgauntlet, seemed moody and anxious, conversed and walked together apparently in deep conversation, and avoided any communication with the chance travellers whom accident brought that morning to the same place of resort.
'Sire, said Redgauntlet, kneeling on one knee, 'I see from Sir Richard's countenance he deems it my fault that your Majesty seems ignorant of what your subjects desired that I should communicate to your Majesty. For Heaven's sake! for the sake of all my past services and sufferings, leave not such a stain upon my honour!
Its eager, excited spirit will have strength, the grotesque, first of all the trees shrieking as you tear off the leaves; for Jean Valjean, the long years of convict life; for Redgauntlet, the quicksands of Solway Moss; then, incorporate with this strangeness, and intensified by restraint, as much sweetness, as much beauty, as is compatible with that.
'And did you dare, sir, to break the seal of a letter addressed to me? said Redgauntlet, not sorry, perhaps, to pick a quarrel upon a point foreign to the tenor of the epistle. 'I have never broken the seal of any letter committed to my charge, said Alan; 'not from fear of those to whom such letter might be addressed, but from respect to myself.
