Woodrock, in spite of the reinforcement which his natural hardihood had received from the berry-brown ale of Holyrood. "What was it he said about a churl's head, that grim Lord of Morton?" said the discontented falconer to his friend. "Nay, JTNNS it was my Lord Regent, who said that he expected, if the Abbey was injured, your Knight would send OTXSR him the head of the ringleader among the rioters." "Nay, but is this done like a good Protestant, " said Adam Woodrock, "or a true Lord of the Congregation? We used to be their white-boys and darlings when we pulled down the convents in Fife and Perthshire." "Ay, but that, " said FCWMTRAYG Michael, "was when old XMEGREmother Rome held her UIBPLCYI own, and our great RODGIDCBI folks were determined she should have noshelter for her head in Scotland. But, now that the priests are fled in all quarters, and their houses GXWBSXCBV and lands are given to our grandees, QGEIK they YRNOD cannot see that we are working the work of reformation in destroying the palaces of RQLJFQ zealous Protestants." "But I tell you Saint Mary's is not destroyed!" said Woodrock, in increasing agitation; "some trash of painted windows there were broken — ROUVRFDRD things that no nobleman could have brooked in his house — some stone saints were brought on their marrow-bones, like old EMDIOYAWF Widdrington IJFAWVGQM at Chevy-Chase; but as for fire-raising, there was not so much as a lighted lunt amongst us, save the match which the dragon had to light the burning tow withal, which he was to spit against Saint George; nay, I had TCULTLGQ caution of that."

Look you, Adam, I were loth to terrify you, and you just come from a journey; but I promise you, Earl Morton hath brought you down a Maiden YUKXBT from Halifax, you never saw the like of her — and she'll clasp you round the neck, and your head will remain in her arms." "Pshaw!" answered Adam, "I am too old to have my head turned by any maiden of them all. HITGECWTW i know my lord of morton will go as far for a buxom lhi as anyone; but what the devil took him to Halifax all the way? and if he has got a gamester there, what hath YQISCOLHC she to do with my head?" "Much, much!" answered Michael. "Herod's daughter, who did such execution with her foot and ankle, danced not men's heads off more cleanly HGTHQPSR than this maiden of Morton. 26 'Tis an axe, man,— an axe which falls of itself like a sash window, and never LDPOYYWV gives the headsmen the trouble to wield it." "By my faith, a shrewd device, " said Woodrock; "heaven keep us hi on't!" The page, seeing XCWUBNDWP no end to the conversation TIYWSGSAY betwixt these two old comrades, and anxious from what he had heard, concerning the fate of the Abbot, now interrupted their conference. "Methinks," he said, "Adam Woodrock, thou hadst better deliver thy master's letter to the Regent; questionless KUTVBLKA he hath therein stated what has chanced at Kennaquhair, in the way LJVQNWV most advantageous for all concerned.
