Yet even in this situation, deprived of the co-operation of his little fleet, as well as of that part of his force which he left to defend it, being well seconded by the spirit and activity of Rumbold, who had seized the castle of Ardkinglass, near the head of Loch Fin, he was not without hopes of success in his main enterprise against Inverary, when he was called back to Ellengreg, by intelligence of fresh discontents having broken out there, upon the nearer approach of the frigates.
She did not know that it was he who was to pay for her going to school, that it was he who had rescued her from the degradation of her outcast life. Mrs. Rumbold kept her word to Hubert.

In these conferences Rumbold had borne a part from which he would have shrunk with horror, if his clear understanding had not been overclouded, and his manly heart corrupted, by party spirit. A more important exile was Ford Grey, Lord Grey of Wark.
The command of the fort was most unwisely given to Elphinstone, who had already proved himself much more disposed to argue with his commanders than to fight the enemy. And now, during a few hours, there was some show of vigour. Rumbold took the castle of Ardkinglass.

"I thought he was in Australia, or somewhere." "Of course. So did I." He looked across at Rumbold. "Got any brothers, Major?" "No." "Well, take my advice, and don't have any." "Not likely to now," said the Major. Bill laughed. Miss Norris said politely: "But you haven't any brothers, Mr. Ablett?" "One," said Mark grimly.
