Ian Rullock riding Fatima, behind him a Black Hill groom on an iron-gray, came over the moor to the head of the glen. Ian checked the mare. Behind him rolled the moor, with the hollow where lay, water in a deep jade cup, the Kelpie's Pool. Before him struck down the green feathered cleft, opening out at last into the vale. He could see the water there, and a silver gleam that was White Farm.
I shall be obliged for any information you may have that I have not." Mr. Wotherspoon's sharp blue eyes seemed to consider it. He drummed on the table. "I am a much older man than you, Captain Rullock, and an old adviser of your family. Perhaps I may speak without offense? That subject of quarrel, now, between you and the laird of Glenfernie " The other made a movement, impatient and imperious.
The mist was making pallid garlands for the tall houses, a trumpet rang at the foot of the street, Macdonald of Glengarry and fifty clansmen, bright tartan and screaming pipes, poured by. "Auld Reekie sees again a stirring time!" said the lawyer. "I am glad to have met you, sir," said Rullock. "I fancy that you can tell me home news. I have heard none for a long time."
Strickland read a paragraph without any especial comprehension, after which he found himself again by the stream of Alexander's life. That friendship with Ian Rullock utterly held, he believed.

"Well, he's a bonny man, but he's got a piece of the demon in him! So have I, I ken very well, and so, doubtless, has he who will be Glenfernie, and all the rest of us " "I sit down to supper with mine very often," said Strickland. "Oh yes, he's common the demon! But somehow I could find him in Ian Rullock, though all covered up with gold.

One morning, soon after daybreak, and before the men were called to their work, Rullock came hurrying into the village. Wenlock was the first person he met. "It is as I feared," he said.

At last, the fire still burning, Ian warmed and refreshed, they wheeled from retrospect into the present. Warburton revealed how thoroughly shattered were Stewart hopes. "I begin to see, Rullock, that we've simply passed those things by. We can't go back to that state of mind and affairs." "I don't want to go back." "I like to hear you say that.
