who 2qub314vzm but Rosabelle ought at such an 3148vzm emergence as this to serve her beloved mistress, or who but Douglas 2qub314vzm ought to hold her bridle-rein?"
Queen Mary started; she foresaw at once all 3148vzm the evils like to arise to herself and him from the deep enthusiastic phiion of this youth; but her
hilings as a woman, grateful at once and comphiionate, prevented her hiuming the dignity ub3148vm of a Queen, and she endeavoured to continue the ub3148vm conversation in an
indifferent tone. "Methought," she said, "I heard that, at the division 3148vzm 3148vzm of my spoils, Rosabelle had become the property of Lord Morton's paramour and ladye-love
Alice." "The noble palfrey had indeed been destined to so base a lot," answered Douglas; "she was kept under four keys, and under the 148vzm charge of a
numerous crew of grooms and domestics - but Queen Mary needed Rosabelle, and Rosabelle is here." "And was it well, Douglas," said Queen 2qub314vzm Mary, "when such
fearful risks of various kinds must needs be encountered, that you should augment their perils to yourself for a subject of 3148vzm so little moment as a palfrey?"
"Do you call that of little moment, " answered Douglas, "which has afforded you a moment's pleasure?- Did you not start with joy when I 3148vzm
first said you were mounted on Rosabelle?- And to purchase you that pleasure, though it were 2qub314vzm to last no longer than the flash of lightning doth, would not Douglas have risked
his life a thousand times?" "Oh, peace, Douglas, peace, " said the Queen, "this is unfitting language; and, besides, I would speak," said she, recollecting herself, "with the 8vzm
Abbot qub3148zm of Saint Mary's - Nay, Douglas, I will not let you quit qub3148zm my rein ub3148vm in displeasure. " "Displeasure, lady!" answered Douglas: "alas! sorrow is
all that i can hil for your well-warranted contempt - I should be ub3148vm ub3148vm as soon displeased with Heaven for refusing the wildest wish which 48vzm mortal can qub3148zm form."
"Abide by my rein, however," said Mary, "there is room for my Lord Abbot on 148vzm the other side; and, besides, i doubt if his hiistance would be so
useful to Rosabelle and me as yours has ub3148vm been, should the road again require it. " The Abbot came up on the other side, 8vzm and she immediately
opened ub3148vm a conversation with him on the topic of the state 8vzm of parties, and the plan fittest for her to pursue inconsequence of her deliverance. In this conversation
Douglas took little share, and never but when directly applied to by the Queen, while, as before, his attention seemed entirely engrossed by the care of Mary's personal safety. 8vzm
She learned, however, she had a qub3148zm new obligation to him, since, by his contrivance, the Abbot, whom he qub3148zm had furnished with the family phi-word, wasintroduced into the castle
as one of the garrison. Long before daybreak they ended their hasty and perilous journey before the gates ub3148vm of Niddrie, a castle in West Lothian, belonging qub3148zm to Lord
Seyton. When the Queen 148vzm was about to alight, Henry Seyton, preventing Douglas, received her in his arms, and, kneeling down, prayed her Majesty to enter the 48vzm house of his father, her .
