. . . Williamston Hay was weighed over to the clerk of the magazine at the sight of the people at Williamston. . . . Upon the whole I see no danger to the Tennant to hinder his cutting down and gathering in the corn as usual." From the glory of Prestonpans to the consternation of the retreat from Derby, from the brief revival of hope in the victory of Falkirk to the dark hour of Culloden, Amelie and her girls went through all the alternations that make up the story of that year, enduring a doub...le suffering in the wreck of the Cause and the peril of those dearest to them. As the long winter went by, now and again scraps of news would reach them from the Jacobite forces in their northern retreat, but all communication was stealthy, and often dangerous. Within the memory of the present generation there were Gask tenants who boasted of how their grandfathers, at the risk of life and liberty, carried letters in their shoes between the laird and the anxious lady at home. There were anxieties nearer home too.
