"And in the name of the King of kings I denounce death on him who attempts it!" exclaimed Bothwell, throwing himself between Wallace and the men; "put forth a hostile hand toward him, and this bugle shall call a thousand resolute swords to lay this platform in blood!" Soulis, followed by his knights, pressed forward to execute his treason himself.
There was nae doubt, onyway, but that Mr. Soulis had been ower-lang at the college. He was careful and troubled for mony things besides the ae thing needful. He had a feck o' books wi' him mair than had ever been seen before in a' that presbytery; and a sair wark the carrier had wi' them, for they were a' like to have smoored in the Deil's Hag between this and Kilmackerlie.
The saughs tossed an' maned thegether, a lang sigh cam' ower the hills, the flame o' the can'le was blawn aboot; an' there stood the corp of Thrawn Janet, wi' her grogram goun an' her black mutch, wi' the heid aye upon the shouther, an' the girn still upon the face o't leevin', ye wad hae said deid, as Mr. Soulis weel kenned upon the threshold o' the manse.
He was still kneeling by the tomb of his buried mistress. I did not take long to warn him of his danger, and desired him to follow me. We descended together beneath the holy statue, and were just emerging into the cellars when you, sir, met us at the entrance. "It was while we were yet in the chapel that I heard De Valence and Soulis at high words in the courtyard.
"`Bithenke ghe on him that suffride such aghenseiynge of synful men aghens himsilff, that ghe be not maad weri, failynge in ghoure soulis. Bethink ye: the which signifieth, meditate on Him, arm ye with His patience. Look on Him, and look to Him." Bertram stared in astonishment.
Soulis wasna weel pleased that this fearsome gangrel suld mak' sae free wi' Ba'weary manse; an' he ran the harder, an' wet shoon, ower the burn, an' up the walk; but the deil a black man was there to see. He stepped out upon the road, but there was naebody there; he gaed a' ower the gairden, but na, nae black man.
"Sweet Lady!" said Maude very earnestly, "if you would but make trial of our Lord's heart toward you! `Alle ye that traveilen and ben chargid, come to Me' this is His bidding, dear my Lady! And His promise is, `I will fulfille you' `ye schal fynde reste to your soulis." "I would come, if I knew how!" she moaned.
"They are the serpent-folds of his hypocrisy!" cried-Athol, alarmed at the awe-struck looks of the assembly. "They are the baits by which he cheats fools!" re-echoed Soulis.
Soulis just blamed himsel', he said, to think sae ill of a puir auld afflicted wife that hadnae a freend forby himsel'; an' he put up a bit prayer for him an' her, an' drank a little caller water, for his heart rose again' the meat, an' gaed up to his naked bed in the gloaming.
The English nobleman declared that he should not do his duty to his king if he did not head the force that went to quell so dangerous a conspiracy; and Soulis, eager to go at any rate, joyfully accepted the honor of being his companion.
