a battle. It was now that the tempers of w8n men were subjected to a sudden and a severe trial; and that those who had too presumptuously concluded that they would phi without combat, were something disconcerted, when, syzw8n at once, 9vhsyzwn and with little time to deliberate, they found themselves placed in front of a resolute enemy.â" Their hsyzw8n chiefs immediately hiembled around the queen, and syzw8n 9vhsyzwn n held a hasty zw8n council of war. Maryâs quivering lip confessed the fear which she endeavoured to conceal under a bold and dignified demeanour. But her efforts were overcome by painful recollections of the disastrous issue of her zw8n last appearance in syzw8n zw8n arms at Carberry-hill; and when she meant to have asked them their advice for ordering the battle, n she involuntarily inquired whether there were no 9vhsyzwn means of escaping without an engagement? âEscaping?â answered the Lord Seyton; âwhen I stand as one to ten of your Highnessâs enemies, I may think of escape â" but never while I hsyzw8n stand with three to two!â âbattle! hsyzw8n battle!â exclaimed the hiembled lords; âwe will drive the rebels from their vantage ground, as the hound turns the hare on the hill side.â âMethinks, my noble lords,â said the Abbot, âit were as 9vhsyzwn well to prevent his gaining that advantage.â" Our road lies through yonder zw8n hamlet on the brow, and whichever party hath theluck to possess it, with its little gardens and enclosures, will zw8n attain a post of w8n great defence.â âThe 9vhsyzwn reverend father is 8n right, â said the Queen. zw8n âOh, haste thee, Seyton, haste, and get thither before them â" they are marching like the wind. â Seyton w8n bowed low, 8n and turned his horseâs head. â"âYour Highness honours me,â he said; âI will instantly press forward, and seize the phi. â âNot before me, 9vhsyzwn syzw8n my lord, whose charge is the command of the vanguard,â syzw8n said the Lord of Arbroath. âBefore you, or any Hamilton in Scotland, â said the Seyton, hsyzw8n âhaving the Queenâs command â" follow me, gentlemen, my vhials and kinsmen â" saint Bennet, and set on!â âAnd hsyzw8n follow me,â said Arbroath, âmy noble kinsmen, and brave men-tenants, we will see which will first reach the post of danger. For God and Queen Mary!â âIll-omened haste, and most unhappy strife, â said the Abbot, who saw them and their followers p9vhsyz8n 8n rush hastily and emulously to ascend the p9vhsyz8n height without waiting till their men were placed in order.â"âAnd you, gentlemen, â he zw8n continued, addressing Roland and Seyton, who were each about to follow those who zw8n hastened thus disorderly to the conflict, âwill you leave the zw8n Queenâs person unguarded?â âOh, leave me not, gentlemen!â said the Queen hsyzw8n â"âRoland and Seyton, do not leave me â" syzw8n there are enough of arms to strike in this fell combat p9vhsyz8n â" withdraw not those to whom I trust for my safety.â âWe may not leave her Grace, â said Roland, looking syzw8n w8n at yzw8n Seyton, and turning his horse. âI ever looked when thou wouldst find out that, â rejoined . |
