For some minutes his lordship stood alone on the pathway. The house where we lay was but one, and the meanest, among a numerous cluster of such drear memorials of a black business, and it was easy to believe this generalissimo had some gloomy thoughts as he gazed on the work he had lent consent to. He looked at the ruins and he looked up the pass at his barbarians, and shrugged his shoulders with a contempt there was no mis- taking. " I could bring him down like a capercailzie," said M'lver coo...lly, running his eye along his pistol and cocking it through his keek-hole. " For God's sake, don't shoot ! " I said, and he laughed quietly. " Is there anything in my general deportment, Colin, that makes ye think me an assassin or an idiot? I never wantonly shot an unsuspecting enemy, and I 'm little likely to shoot Montrose and have a woman and bairn suffer the worst for a stupid moment of glory." As ill luck would have it, the bairn, that had been playing peacefully in the dusk, at this critical minute let up a cry Montrose plainly heard.
