. . three or four, and sometimes half a dozen, hung lip by the heels for hours, on the few trees outside the mansion." Simon kept open house, and even the raggedest ruffian of the clan could dine at Castle Downie. The ranks and orders of men, however, were strictly observed, and with due regard to economy. At the head of the long table sat Simon, and, near him, distinguished guests. For them there was claret and French cookery. Lower down came the more important class of vassals, enjoying solid... beef and mutton, and some inferior wine. At the lower end were LORD LOVAT. 185 crowded the inferior vassals, with sheep's heads and ale or whiskey before them. And on the castle green in summer, and in the winter, in the outhouses, were the lowest class of clansmen, mere ne'er-do-weels, landless men and beggars, gnawing the bones and enjoying the offal. What was left over from the lord's table went to the domestic servants, who seem to have got little, if anything, else. Simon is said to have shown much dexterity in soothing feelings ruffled by these rather invidious arrangements.
