A clump of ancient trees enclosed by a high wall, or rather by a rampart, rose at its north front, and seemed vegetation in stone, and completed the general effect of this gloomy abode, while, on the contrary, the eye wandering from it and passing from islands to islands, lost itself in the west, in the north, and in the south, in the vast plain of Kinross, or stopped southwards at the jagged summits of Ben Lomond, whose farthest slopes died down on the shores of the lake.
Gowan, "their uncle has taken 'Tenby'" she waved her hand to the cottage opposite that had stood irksomely monotonous with closed shutters and chained gate ever since the Lomaxes had come to Burunda this year, "and of course they will often want to come down to him to listen to his stories. He is Hugh Kinross, you know."
Kinross. Or I might put my finger in my mouth and hang back a little time." "But you would accept him, Bee?" "Oh, of course," said Bee; "wouldn't you?" "I I suppose so," said Dora. Then both girls sighed. "I wish he hadn't started to go bald," Bee said pathetically. "I wish he hadn't started to grow stout," Dora added. Bee pulled herself together.
The paper was a letter from George Douglas, conceived in these terms: "You have commanded me to live, madam: I have obeyed, and your Majesty has been able to tell, from the Kinross light, that your servants continue to watch over you.
And there in black headlines he read "The only interview Hugh Kinross has ever granted." "A lady beards the lion in his den and extracts most interesting particulars." "The eccentricities of a great author." And this perfervid and most serious account was in truth very funny. He found himself quite unable to resist so unique an opportunity of raising a roar of laughter among his readers.
At the entrance of the principal, or indeed, so to speak, the only street in Kinross, the damsel, whose steps were pursued by Roland Graeme, cast a glance behind her, as if to be certain he had not lost trace of her and then plunged down a very narrow lane which ran betwixt two rows of poor and ruinous cottages.
"Young man," said the lady, "our chaplain hath warranted for thy fidelity, and we are determined to give you certain errands to do for us in our town of Kinross." "Not by my advice," said Douglas, coldly. "I said not that it was," answered the lady, something sharply. "The mother of thy father may, I should think, be old enough to judge for herself in a matter so simple.
Only," continued Douglas, approaching the window and showing to the queen a little house on Kinross hill, "only, look every evening in that direction, madam, and so long as you see a light shine there, your friends will be keeping watch for you, and you need not lose hope." "Thanks, Douglas, thanks," said the queen; "it does one good to meet with a heart like yours from time to time oh! thanks."
And my sister my sister, Kate Kinross is party to it!" "She was willing to help another woman," said Miss Bibby. "Ah," said Hugh, "I see, the two of you have plotted together to entrap a defenceless man." Miss Bibby ventured on a faint smile, for the author was certainly smiling now. How was she to know, as Kate might have done, that it was his dangerous smile?
And after a world of trouble dragged it from Pauline that they had actually gone across to "Tenby" to try to induce Hugh Kinross to give his orders for bacon and such things to Larkin. Hugh Kinross and bacon! Miss Bibby ran down to the gate almost choking with agitation and distress.
