"Ay, but her life was not then threatened," replied Roland. "And is it now more endangered than heretofore?" asked Catherine Seyton, in anxious terror. "Be not alarmed," said the page; "but you heard the terms on which your royal mistress parted with the Lady of Lochleven?"
"Alas! madam," smilingly replied Mary Seyton, "you are not mistaken: my father has had everything in the castle furbished up to the last corselet, sharpened to the last sword, unfurled to the last banner; but my father, ready as he is to die for your Majesty, would not have dreamed for an instant of offering you anything but his roof to rest under, or his cloak to cover you.
Lady Seyton, as its full significance flashed upon her, screamed with convulsive joy, and I thought must have fainted from excess of emotion. The Rev.

Some one at the door said, "May I come in?" There was a sunburnt face, a head with long brown hair, a white coat. "Archfield?" asked Peregrine. "Come, send me away with pardon."
Catherine Seyton devoured in secret her own grief, anxious to support the broken spirits of her mistress; and the Abbot, bending his troubled thoughts upon futurity, endeavoured in vain to form some plan which had a shadow of hope.
