He was among the plotters and instigators. He broke prison. Impossible to show mercy!" Mr. Touris twitched again. "That's a phrase like a gravestone! If the Almighty uses it, then of course he can't be Almighty.... Well, the moral is that none named Ian Rullock can come again to Scotland or England." "Have you knowledge that he wishes to do so?" Mr. Touris moved again.
"I hope that we're not facing another 'fifteen! 'Scotland's ain Stewarts, and Break the Union! It sounds well, but it's not in the line of progression. What does Captain Ian Rullock think about it?" "I don't know. He hasn't been here, you know, for a long while." "That's true. He and Mr. Alexander are still like brothers?" "Like brothers." Greenlaw mounted his horse.
Even the bravest of the brave, Highland or Lowland, might draw back from the thought of trying to cross that marsh, of meeting the moat-like ditch under Cope's musket-fire. Sunset came amid perturbation, a sense of check, impending disaster. Ian Rullock, acting for the moment as aide-de-camp, had spent the day on horseback.
He had assured Captain Dinan that he had no thoughts of committing the crime of which he had been accused; that the words he had uttered, overheard by Rullock, had reference to an entirely different matter.
The wide falling snow, the mystic light and quietness, were hers for mantle. As they approached she stirred. "Good day, Glenfernie! Good day, Ian Rullock! Glenfernie, you cannot go this way! Soldiers are at Littlefarm." "Did Robin " "He got word to me an hour since. They are chance-fallen, the second time. They will get no news and soon be gone. He trusted me to give you warning.
Some proclamation or other was being made at the Cross of Edinburgh. A trumpet blew and the street was filled with footsteps. "The laird of Glenfernie," said the lawyer, "has joined, I hear, Sir John Cope at Dunbar. It is not impossible that you may have speech together from opposing battle-lines." He poured wine. "My bag of news is empty, Captain Rullock." Ian rose from his seat.
Rullock, having gone through a good deal of fatigue, soon fell asleep after his supper, and left Wenlock the chief charge of attending to the other two white men. By the morning, Ford was considerably better. His companion, who was still stronger, wished to persuade him to return to the settlement, but it was very evident that he would be unable to perform such a journey.
There was a villa, there were attendants, there was the Frenchman's especial circle, set with bizarre jewels, princes of the Church, Italian nobles of his acquaintance, exiles, a charlatan of immense note, certain ladies. He only asked of his guest, Monsieur Rullock, that he help him to entertain the whole chaplet, giving to his residence in Rome a certain splendid virility.
"Be it short time or be it long time soon home to Glenfernie, or long, long gone farewell, and God bless you, Glenfernie!" "And you, Gilian!" She turned to Ian. "Ian Rullock farewell, too, and God bless you, too!" She was gone. They watched through the door her form moving amid falling snow.
With the aid of old Rullock, Wenlock had built a hut for himself in the neighbourhood of Upland, and he purposed awaiting there the arrival of Colonel Markham.
