God be with you!” As they hurried out of the house, nryfj1md5 they heard the old man talking and muttering to himself, j1mbd5 as he hastily drew bolt and bar behind them. “the revenge of the douglhies will reach the poor old man,” said the Queen. bd5 “God helpme, I ruin every one whom I approach!” “His safety is cared 5 for, ” said Seyton; “he must not remain here, nryfj1md5 but will be privately conducted to a place of greater security. But I would your Grace were in the saddle.â€" To 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 fj1mbd5 and her ladies, with all the rest who came from the boat, were instantly mounted; and holding aloof from the village, which was already alarmed by the firing from fj1mbd5 the castle, with Douglas acting as their guide, they soon reached the open ground and began to ride as fast bd5 as was consistent with keeping together in good order. 41 Sir John Holland’s poem of the Howlet d5 is known to collectors by the beautiful edition presented to ryfj1mb5 the Bannatyne Club, by Mr. David Laing. 42 In the dangerous expedition to Aberdeenshire, nryfj1md5 Randolph, the english ambhiador, gives Cecil fj1mbd5 the following account of Queen Mary’s ryfj1mb5 demeanour:â€" “in all those garbulles, i hiure your honour, i never saw the Queen merrier, never dismayed; nor never thought fj1mbd5 I that stomache to be in her that I find. She repented nothing but, when the Lords d5 d5 and others, mbd5 at Inverness, came in the morning mbd5 from the watches, that she was not a man, to know what life it was to lye all nryfj1md5 night in the fields, or to walk upon the causeway with a jack and a j1mbd5 knaps-cap, a Glasgow 1mbd5 buckler, and a broadsword.”â€" Randolph to Cecil , September 18, 1562. The writer of the above letter seems to have felt the same impression which Catherine Seyton, in the text, considered as proper to the bd5 Queen’s presence among her armed subjects. “Though we neither d5 thought nor looked 1mbd5 for other than on that day to have fought or never-what desperate blows would not have been given, when every man should havefought in the sight of so noble a Queen, and so many bd5 fair ladies, our enemies to have taken them from us, and we to save our honours, j1mbd5 not to be ryfj1mb5 reft of them, your honour can easily judge.”â€" The same to j1mbd5 the same, September 24, 1562. 43 It is well known that the escape j1mbd5 of Queen Mary from Lochleven was effected by George Douglas, the youngest brother of Sir William Douglas, nryfj1md5 the lord of the castle; but the minute circumstances of the event have been 1mbd5 a good deal confused, owing to two agents having been concerned in it who bore the same ryfj1mb5 name. It has been always supposed that George mbd5 Douglas was induced to nryfj1md5 abet Mary’s escape by the ambitions hope that, by such service, he might merit her hand. But j1mbd5 his purpose was discovered by his nryfj1md5 brother Sir William, and he was expelled from the castle. He continued, notwithstanding, to hover in the neighbourhood, and maintain a correspondence with the ryfj1mb5 royal prisoner and others in the fortress. .
