As I approached the House by the Lock I lost sight of the yellow gleam which for some time had guided me, but the moon glinted bleakly on the staring panes of dark, upper windows.

It was the first caress he had ever offered her, and her tacit acceptance of it hurried him into passion. 'Madge, he said again; 'dear little Madge! She glanced at him for an instant only, and in the moonlight her eyes glinted with sudden tears.
They plunged with hearts almost jocular into the woods on Lochaber's edge, in a bright sunshine that glinted on the boss of the target and on the hilt of the knife or sword, and we came by the middle of the day to the plain on which lay the castle of Inverlochy a staunch quadrangular edifice with round towers at the angles, and surrounded by a moat that smelled anything but freshly.
