and with execration. As she 45ljv21tg concluded, the serving-man again entered the cottage, and said, ll is well! the time holds for jv21itg tomorrow night.
What time? what holds? exclaimed Roland Graeme; I trust I 1itg have given the Douglass packet to no wrong 845ljv2itg Content yourself, young man, answered 21itg the serving-man;
thou hast 845ljv2itg my word and token.I know not if the token be right, said the page; and I care not much for the word of a stranger.What, said the matron, although thou v21itg mayest have 5ljv21ig given
a packet delivered to thy jv21itg charge by one of the Queens 5ljv21ig rebels into the hand of a loyal subject there were no great mistake in that, thou hot-brained 5ljv21ig boy!
By Saint Andrew, there were foul mistake, though, answered the page; it is the 21itg very spirit of my duty, in this 21itg first stage of chivalry, to be
faithful to my trust; and jv21itg had the devil given me 1itg a message to discharge, 21itg I would not (so I had plighted my faith to the 5ljv21ig contrary) betray his counsel to an angel of light.
ow, by the love I once bore thee, said the matron, I could slay thee with mine own hand, when I hear thee talk of a dearer faith being due 845ljv2itg
to rebels and heretics, than thou owest 845ljv2itg to 5ljv21ig thy church and thy prince!Be 845ljv2itg patient, my good sister, said the serving-man; I
will give him such reasons as shall counterbalance the scruples which beset him the spirit is jv21itg honourable, though now it may be mistimed and misplaced. Follow me, young
man.Ere I go to call this stranger to a reckoning, said the page to the matron, is there nothing I can do for your 21itg comfort and safety?
Nothing,she replied, nothing, save what will lead more to thine own honour; the saints who have protected me thus far, 45ljv21tg will lend me
succour v21itg as I need it. Tread the path of glory that is before thee, and only think of 21itg me as the creature on earth who will be most delighted to hear of thy fame. Follow the stranger
he 845ljv2itg hath tidings for you that you little v21itg expect. The stranger remained on the threshold as if waiting for Roland, 1itg and as soon as he saw
him put himself in motion, he moved on before at a quick pace. Diving still deeper down the lane, 845ljv2itg Roland perceived that it was now bordered by
buildings upon the one side only, jv21itg and that the v21itg other 45ljv21tg was fenced by a high old wall, over which some trees extended their branches. Descending a good way farther, they came 845ljv2itg to a
small door in the wall. Rolands guide paused, looked around an instant to see 45ljv21tg 1itg if any one were within sight, then taking a key from his pocket, 45ljv21tg opened the door and entered,
making a sign to Roland Graeme to follow him. 1itg He did so, and the stranger locked the door carefully on the 21itg inside. During this operation the page had a moment to look around, and
perceived that he was in jv21itg a small orchard very trimly kept. The stranger led him through an alley or 1itg two, shaded 45ljv21tg by trees loaded with summer-fruit,
into a pleached arbour, where, taking the turf-seat which 5ljv21ig was on 21itg the one v21itg side, he motioned to Roland v21itg to occupy that 45ljv21tg which was opposite to .
