Fortunately for his command, he was present at the bridge when the American cavalry came in view.
He founded pretensions to the Scottish crown, on his descent from an illegitimate daughter of Alexander II. Soulis was a traitor to his country, and so notoriously wicked, that tradition endows him with the power of infernal necromancy. The earl started from his couch. "Lord Soulis! what is the occasion of this unapprised visit?"
