"To God!" cried Walkyn, his eyes wild, his hands tight-clenched, "to God! ha! master, ye left him to God on a time and because of thee, I I that had my dagger at his rogue's throat I, yearning to slay him, did but mark him i' the brow aye, forsooth, we left him to God and lo! to-day he burneth, he slayeth and hangeth as was ever his wont "
Let any one coldly calculate the old rogue's narrative, and it will honestly appear that the winner was more often Argile, though his lordship never followed up his advantage with slaughter and massacre as did his foes at Aberdeen. All these doings we heard of but vaguely, for few came back except an odd lad wounded and cut off in the wilds of Athole from the main body.
So the Black Rogue was drawn up, and as soon as he was as high as the rope would allow him to go the Shifty Lad called to him: 'Don't forest to whistle when you want to come down; but if you are enjoying yourself as I did, shake your legs. And in a moment the Black Rogue's legs began to shake and to kick, and the Shifty Lad stood below, watching him and laughing heartily. 'Oh, how funny you are!
"Hymns, ballets, or rantipole rubbish; the Rogue's March or the cherubim's warble 'tis all the same to me if 'tis good harmony, and well put out." "Well heh, heh it may be we can do that, and not a man among us that have sat in the gallery less than twenty year," said the leader of the band.
Every spare minute of his day and he had many the colonel spent in his stables superintending the training of The Rogue. He was infinitely worse than a mother with her first child. If the latter acts as if she invented maternity, one would have thought the colonel had fashioned the gelding as the horse of Troy was fashioned. The Rogue's success meant everything to him everything in the world.
The roadside would have been a richer death-chamber, for among the grass there would have been several sorts of weed; yet this was appropriate enough for a woman who had known neither the hazards of being a rogue's wife, which she would have rather enjoyed, nor the close-pressed society of extreme poverty, in which she would have triumphed, for her birdlike spirits would have made her popular in any alley, but had been locked by her husband's innumerable but never quite criminal failings into an existence just as decently and minimally furnished as this room.
Fortunately he knew the Provost officers; there were explanations all around, and profuse apologies, and just as the fifes and drums struck up the "Rogue's March" behind the luckless storekeeper, who had to step off in front of a line of leveled bayonets, the Deacon walked away arm-in-arm with the Captain. "I'm not goin' to let go o' you till I'm safe back in our own place," he said.
Sonorous names, senator and gladiator, brimful of the ferocity and dignity of old Rome! near as they had been in the days of Cæsar, one would have thought the march of civilization might have widened the interval. Here was a rogue's march indeed! Judy gave the Senator a remarkable character. "The Senator, is it?" said she when asked for an opinion. "Divil a finer man from here to himself!
Presently returning with her husband's cash chest, she emptied its glittering contents into the rogue's skirt, who now took his leave in haste, promising to give everything to the good old couple in Kailása; and having secured all the booty in his upper garment, he made off at the top of his speed as soon as the silly woman had gone indoors.
He told Georgie he ought to be in an asylum for the criminally insane, and Georgie advised him to get a photograph album of the high officials of the railroad. The conductor said Georgie's picture was probably in the rogue's gallery. And we lost two packs of cards out of the window." Such had been the more innocent if eccentric diversions with which they had whiled away the time.
