"You must say my lord say my lord," interposed the bombasin gown. "Speak out. Si-lence!" "Where do you live?" "Friar's Place please you, my lord." The bombasin smiled pitifully at the ignorance of the witness, and said no more. "Do you know the prisoner at the bar?" "About ten weeks ago please you, my lord, I was hired by the landlord "
'Ou then, he just said, "If there comes such a person to inquire after Mr. Brown, you will say I am gone to look at the skaters on Loch Creeran, as you call it, and I will be back here to dinner." But he never came back, though I expected him sae faithfully that I gae a look to making the friar's chicken mysell, and to the crappitheads too, and that's what I dinna do for ordinary, Mr. Glossin.
The Governor listened with a gathering scowl upon his face, till suddenly he started up with such haste that his chair fell backward with a noisy clatter. "Santa Maria! Dead of the black vomit? And you come hither with the vile contagion clinging to your very garments!" "Nay," said the friar's deep, hollow voice, as he lifted a reassuring hand. "I have changed my robes.
The view which I commanded was an extensive one and although in the clear country air I could quite easily discern the upstanding wing of Friar's Park, actually the house and the park were some two miles distant.
The friar's two brethren, Buisset and Ribourde, threw their arms about his neck as they bade him farewell; while his Indian proselytes, learning whither he was bound, stood with their hands pressed upon their mouths, in amazement at the perils which awaited their ghostly instructor.

An avenue still 1200 feet in length, bordered by two walls of earth, leads up to the rampart from the north-east. On the axis of this avenue and nearly at its extremity stands the upright stone known as the Friar's Heel. In 1901, in the course of repairing the central trilithon, careful excavations were carried out over a small area at Stonehenge.
Fast strode the friar, his white robe fluttering on before, through moonlight and shadow, until they reached a brook or freshet that ran bubbling betwixt flowery banks; beside this strode the tall friar, following its winding course, until before them, amid the shadow yet darker than the shadow loomed high an embattled flanking tower of the walls of Belsaye town; but ever before them flitted the friar's white gown, on and on until the freshet became a slow-moving river, barring their advance a broad river that whispered among the reeds on the one side and lapped against rugged wall on the other.
