Such as he was, Rob Roy's progress in his occupation is thus described by a gentleman of sense and talent, who resided within the circle of his predatory wars, had probably felt their effects, and speaks of them, as might be expected, with little of the forbearance with which, from their peculiar and romantic character, they are now regarded.
Throughout the previous summer Tom had been in Roy's patrol, the Silver Foxes, but when the new Elk Patrol was formed with Connie Bennett, the Bronson boys and others, he had been chosen its leader. "I think it's just glorious," said Mary Temple, when Tom told her of his plan and of Roy's noble sacrifice, "and I wish I was a boy." "Oh, it's great to be a boy," enthused Pee-wee.
By timely courage, on the spot, the threat to India had been staved off: but it was there still sinister, unsleeping, virtually unchecked. 'Scotched not killed. The voice of Lance sounded too clearly in Roy's brain; and the more intimate pain, deadened a little by illness, struck at his heart like a sword....
Inversnaid, where Rob Roy's cave is, is but a few miles from here, and it was in this very country that he hid himself among rocks and caves, giving to the poor with his left hand what he took from the rich with his right. Well, well, laddie, the old clans are scattered now, but blood is thicker than water still, and you're welcome to the fireside of your kinsman!"

The ksiangs of the bridegroom and bride recite the marriage contract in lengthy formulae, which may be found on pages 6, 7, 8 of the late U Jeebon Roy's interesting notes on the Khasi religion.
But to Peggy the recollection of that deranged hair was unforgettable. "It's it's a wig!" she gasped to herself, and then, casting all other thoughts aside, sped to Roy's side. "Roy! Roy! are you badly hurt, dear?" she breathed, going down on her knees in the rough surface of the desert. The boy stirred uneasily and his eyes opened. "Oh, is it you, Peggy? I guess I was knocked out for a minute.
But Norman and Roy's whole interest was in the task before them and when they saw the Count abruptly salute a red-jacketed mounted policeman who was standing in the door of the hotel, they hurried on without even the formality of declining Paul's invitation. By the time the old steersmen had been found, the Count was out of their minds.
"If you can stay Roy's impatience with your metaphors, I'll begin to have some respect for them!" said he.
"And and Roy did, too, before Tom Slade came into the troop." It was odd how he turned against Tom, making him the scapegoat for Roy's apparent selfishness and hypocrisy. "They just brought me along for charity, like," he said, "'cause she told them to. Cracky, anyway, I didn't try to make her do that I didn't."
