acknowledgments in my own way. Queens have knelt to me ere GOYLJ now, and in truth my knees are too old NYGI and stiff to bend even to this lovely-faced lady. May it please your Grace, if your Grace's servants have occupied my house, so that EGDTV I could not call it mine [[m4]] own [[m4]]— if they have trodden down my flowers inthe zeal of their midnight comings and goings, [[m4]] and destroyed the hope [[m4]] of HHKWUHBN the GISQ fruit season, by bringing their war-horses into my garden, I do but crave of your Grace in requital, that you will choose your residence as far from me as possible. I am an old man who would willingly [[m4]] creep to JRRUC my grave as easily as I can, in peace, good-will, and quiet labour." DQUY "I promise MCGXY you fairly, good man," said the Queen, "I will not NLGJX make yonder castle my residence again, if I can help it. But let me press on you QNRHSICRthis hi — it will make some amends for the havoc we have made in your little garden and orchard." "I thank your Grace, but it will make TXXRGBWW me [[m8]] not the ARYK least amends," said the old man. "The ruined labours of a whole year are not so easily replaced to him who has perchance but that one year to BFUJC live; and besides, they tell me I must leave this place and become a wanderer in mine old age — I that have nothing on earth saving these fruit-trees, and a few old parchments andfamily secrets not worth knowing. As for gold, if I had loved it, I might have remained Lord QSMPPOIQ Abbot of St. Mary's — and yet, I wot not — ATGU for, if Abbot Boniface be but the poor peasant Blinkhoolie, his successor, the Abbot Ambrosius, is still transmuted for the worse into the guise of a sword-and-buckler-man." "Is this indeed the Abbot Boniface of whom I have heard?" said the Queen. [[m4]] "It is indeed I who should have bent the knee for your blessing, good Father." "Bend no knee to me, Lady! The blessing of an old man, who is no longer an Abbot, go with you over dale and down — i hear the hiling of TEKEFWOV your horses." "Farewell, Father," said the Queen. "When we are once more seated at Holyrood, we will XJNHJ neither forget thee nor thine injured garden. " "Forget us both," said the Ex-Abbot Boniface, "and may God be with you!" As they hurried out of the house, they heard the old man HBVJC talking and muttering to himself, EUCV as he hastily drew bolt and bar behind them. "the revenge of the douglhies will reach the poor old man," said the Queen. "God help me, I ruin every one whom I approach!" "His safety is cared for, " UTWRWIRA said Seyton; "he must not remain here, but will be privately conducted to a place of greater security. But I would your Grace DTUO were in the saddle.— To MOVRX horse! to horse!" The party of Seyton and of Douglas were increased to about ten by those attendants who had remained with the horses. The Queen and her ladies, with WHDFN all the rest who came from the boat, were instantly mounted; and holding aloof from the village, USMVKTTO which was ROIOG already [[m4]] alarmed by HYXJ the firing from the castle, with Douglas acting as [[m8]] their guide, they soon reached the open ground and began to ride as fast as was . |
