There is, without a doubt, some uncanny agency there." The girl laughed outright. "I do declare, Walter, that you believe in these foolish traditions," she said. "Well, I'm a Scot, you see, darling, and a little superstition is perhaps permissible, especially in connection with such a mystery as the strange disappearance of Cardinal Setoun."
He felt he was a man, and ought to go and his grandfather was a soldier it is in the blood of the Setouns to want to fight for their country," said Lady Mary, with a smile and a little thrill of pride; for, after all, if her boy were a Crewys, he was also a Setoun. "Besides, poor child, you were so young; you didn't think; you didn't know "
There are also a quantity of interesting facts regarding 'Red Neil, or Neil Stewart of Fothergill, who was Laird of Garth, which will some day be of value to future historians of Scotland."
