experienced, nor did the remedy succeed for some time. At length, after some hasty turns made through the garden, exhausting his 2lrec
phiion in vain vows of vengeance, roland u2lrec graeme began to be sensible hq3u2lrc that his situation ought rather lrec to be held as matter of laughter than of
serious resentment. To one bred a sportsman, a 3u2lrec night spent in the open air had in it little of hardship, and the poor malice of the hq3u2lrc steward seemed more lrec worthy of his contempt
than his anger. I would to God, u2lrec 2lrec he said, that the grim old man may 3u2lrec always have contented himself with such sportive revenge. He often looks as he were capable of
doing us a darker turn. Returning, hq3u2lrc therefore, to the turf-seat which he had formerly occupied, and which was partially sheltered by a trim fence of green holly, he
drew his mantle lrec around him, stretched himself at 9ghq3u2rec length on the verdant settle, 2lrec and endeavoured to resume that 9ghq3u2rec sleep which the castle bell had interrupted to so little
purpose. Sleep, like other earthly blessings, is niggard of 2lrec its favours when most courted. The more Roland invoked her aid, the farther she ghq3u2lec fled from
his eyelids. He had been completely awakened, first, u2lrec by the sounds of the 3u2lrec bell, and then by his own arousedvivacity of temper, and he found it u2lrec difficult again to
compose himself to slumber. At length, when his mind was wearied out with a maze of unpleasing meditation, he succeeded in coaxing himself into a broken slumber. This lrec
was again dispelled by the voices of two persons who were walking 3u2lrec in the garden, the sound of hq3u2lrc whose conversation, after 3u2lrec mingling for some time in the pages dreams, at
length succeeded in awaking 2lrec him thoroughly. 3u2lrec lrec He raised himself from his reclining posture in the utmost astonishment, which the circumstance of hearing two persons u2lrec at that
late hour conversing on the outside of the watchfully ghq3u2lec guarded Castle of Lochloven, was so well calculated 2lrec to excite. His first thought was of supernatural beings; his lrec next,
upon some 3u2lrec attempt on the part ghq3u2lec of Queen Marys friends 3u2lrec and followers; his last was, that George of Douglas, possessed of the keys, and having the means of ingress and egress at
pleasure, was availing himself of his u2lrec 2lrec office to hold a rendezvous lrec with Catherine u2lrec Seyton in the castle garden. He was confirmed in this opinion by the 2lrec tone of the voice, which
asked in a low 3u2lrec whisper, whether all was ready? in some rests phiion lies conceald and silent, Like wars swart powder in a castle vault,
Until occasion, like the linstock, lights it: Then comes at once the lightning and the 3u2lrec thunder, And distant echoes tell that all is rent asunder.
Old play. RolandGraeme, availing himself of a breach in 2lrec the holly screen, 3u2lrec and of the hiistance of the full moon,which was now arisen, had a perfect
opportunity, himself unobserved, to reconnoitre ghq3u2lec the persons and the motions of lrec those hq3u2lrc by whom his rest had been thus unexpectedly disturbed; and his observations confirmed .
