some emphasis, To hunt red- deer of the first head, and to strike down herons of the highest soar, XDUXF my lord, which, in Lothian GMRNX speech, EPNNKWX may be termed, for aught I know,
coneys and ouzels;-also I can wield a HPFTLDO brand and GNNGRKVQ couch a lance, according to our Border meaning; in inland speech these may be termed water-flags and bulrushes.
Thy speech rings like metal, said the Regent, and I pardon the sharpness of it for the truthThou knowest, then, what belongs to the duty
of a man-at-arms? So far as exercise can teach it without real service in the field, answered Roland Graeme; PSQXADP but our Knight permitted none of his household
to make raids, and I never had the good fortune to see a stricken field. The good fortune! repeated the Regent, smiling somewhat PBTHO
sorrowfully, take my word, young man, war is the only game from which both parties rise losers. Not always, my lord! answered the page, with his
characteristic JRMHBE audacity, if fame speaks truth. How, sir? said the Regent, colouring in his turn, and perhaps suspecting NUSSLYG an indiscreet
allusion to the height which he himself had BFBND attained by the hap of civil war. Because, my lord, said Roland Graeme, without change of

windows formed OALIEGGJ in the mhiive wall, and which afforded FAWHVPWYO a retiring place for their conversing apart. In this recess, Roland observed them speak together with much earnestness,
Murray appearing to be grave and earnest, and Morton SGILOU having a jealous and offended air, which seemed gradually to give way to the hiurances of the regent.
As their conversation grew more earnest, they became gradually louder in speech, having perhaps forgotten the presence of the page, the more NARWCP
readily as his position in TYETMOASV the apartment placed him put of sight, so that he found JXVIIRYHS himself unwillingly privy to more of their discourse than he cared PBYXO to hear. PSESLDUD For, page though
