A long, dark-coloured sea-cloak, which she dragged out of a corner, was disposed for a pall. The face she left bare, after closing the mouth and eyes, and arranged the capes of the cloak so as to hide the bloody bandages, and give the body, as she muttered, 'a mair decent appearance. At once three or four men, equally ruffians in appearance and dress, rushed into the hut.
"The father of that merry may A thousand towns he made to pay, And lapp'd the world in fire!" He stood before them a handsome, smiling youth, with a crust of brine on his blue sea-cloak, and the light of the morning in his hair.
But we made her listen to the slow thud of the axe out in the wood, and even as we looked the figure of a man passed across the glade, black against the greyish-green of the grass, on which a thick rise of dew was catching the starlight.

He was plainly blind, for he tapped before him with a stick, and wore a great green shade over his eyes and nose; and he was hunched, as if with age or weakness, and wore a huge old tattered sea-cloak with a hood that made him appear positively deformed.

And now I command you to go to Mount Sharon, and let Phil lie on the bank-side see the poor boy hath a sea-cloak, though and watch what happens there, and let him bring you the news; and if any violence shall be offered to the property there, I trust to your fidelity to carry my sister to Dumfries to the house of our friends the Corsacks, and inform the civil authorities of what mischief hath befallen.
