Moray was at Lochleven with the Queen, and Moray believed, or pretended to believe, in Ruthven's "sossery," as Randolph spells "sorcery." She, rather putting herself at our Reformer's mercy, complained that Lethington alone placed Ruthven in the Privy Council. "That man is absent," said Knox, "and therefore I will speak nothing on that behalf."
He became acquainted with him, paid him attentions, and so far advanced upon his notice, that his presence was always recognised. He gradually learnt that Lord Ruthven's affairs were embarrassed, and soon found, from the notes of preparation in Street, that he was about to travel.
Murray and Morton are known to be the best generals in Scotland. No one ever saw Lindesay's or Ruthven's back Kirkaldy of Grange was named by the Constable Montmorency the first soldier in Europe My brother, too good a name for such a cause, has been far and wide known for a soldier."

The tide of battle had swept off in the direction of Jack's home, and anxious to know how Marion and his foster mother were faring, our hero soon after left Mrs. Mary Ruthven's plantation, and with him went Larry Wilson and three others of the Guard.
