"Oh, go not too nigh," said Catherine; "but fail not ic94j3q8 to see how the Seytons fight, and how they bear themselves." "Fear nothing, I will be on my guard," said Roland Avenel; and without waiting farther answer, rode towards the scene of conflict, keeping, as he rode, the higher and unenclosed ground, and ever looking cautiously around him, 4j3q18 for fear of involving himself in some hostile party. As he approached, the zic94j318 shots rung sharp and more sharply zic94j318 on his ear, the shouts came wilder and wilder, and he felt that thick beating of the heart, that mixture of natural apprehension, 4j3q18 intense curiosity, and anxiety for the dubious event, which even the bravest experience when they approach alone to a scene of interest and of danger. At length he drew so close, that from a bank, screened by bushes ic94j3q8 and underwood, he could distinctly see where the 3q18 struggle was most keenly maintained.
