All this may be possible; but it does not appear in Scots history that the Sinclairs ever held the Western Islands, and certainly not at this period: Sorani ought therefore to be looked for in Caithness; or it may possibly refer to Roslin near Edinburgh, which belonged to the family of Sinclair. By this latter distinction, Zeno probably means a decked vessel.
"A book of jokes." Marion had developed a taste for satire. "Which reminds me of Lady Halwood and Mrs. Lambert. Lady Halwood was more impertinent than usual the other day at the Sinclairs' show, and had a little fling at Mrs. Lambert. The talk turned on gowns. Lady Halwood was much interested at once. She has a weakness that way.
Of course it does not make the least difference to me. The Sinclairs and the Bromptons and the Curries are to dine here tonight. I can see myself reflected in the long mirror before me, and I really think my appearance will satisfy even Gus Sinclair's critical eye. I am pale, as usual, I never have any colour. That used to be one of Jack's grievances. He likes pink and white milkmaidish girls.
The future is to be my affair if the past was yours." Then he went away, and she saw nothing of him for two days. On the second of them he dined with Lady Maria, and met some of the Percivals the father and mother, the Sinclairs, and Mr. Tompsett-King. After a week or ten days of courtship, she could hardly believe that their relations had ever been interrupted.
Then came the hurried leap of feet up the narrow staircase and Owen Delamore flung the door wide, panting: "You told me to dash in," he almost shouted. "They're coming! We can rush round to the Sinclairs'. They're on the roof already!" She caught the purple scarf around her and ran towards him, for at this new excitement her frenzy reached its highest note. "I will!
"The Sinclairs strove in vain to climb the mountainside and get at their foes. It was impossible, and they were simply slaughtered where they stood, only one man of the whole regiment escaping to tell the story." "That was a terrible massacre indeed," Malcolm said.
But hardly had Mrs. Warham given the Sinclairs' number to the exchange girl when Ruth called from the head of the stairs: "What're you doing there, mamma?" "I'll tell Mrs. Sinclair you're sick and can't come. Then I'll send Susan in your place." "Don't!" cried Ruth, in an agitated, angry voice. "Ring off quick!" "Now, Ruth, let me " "Ring off!" ordered Ruth. "You mustn't do that.
His father did quite an extensive business as a merchant in Littleton, and as Arthur became stronger he assisted in the store; and after a time his father gave him a partnership in the business, which rendered his again leaving home unnecessary. A correspondence, varied occasionally by friendly visits, was kept up between the Sinclairs and the family of Mr.
But the north-east coast of Scotland is hardly part of the Highlands at all, and is far from being very romantic. The period is "the dark ages" in general. He had the pleasure to observe that the paper was taken up by the ladies, who immediately retired into the castle." These were not the manners of the local Mackays, of the Sinclairs, and of "the small but fierce clan of Gunn," in the dark ages.
It is sufficient to say, that the territory of the Clan Chattan extended far and wide, comprehending Caithness and Sutherland, and having for their paramount chief the powerful earl of the latter shire, thence called Mohr ar Chat. In this general sense, the Keiths, the Sinclairs, the Guns, and other families and clans of great power, were included in the confederacy.
