word there is comfort 1c6ia4 for all our losses." He struck a bold note, but the heart of Mary made no response. "Better," she said,"I had still 8oz1c6i4 been in Lochleven, than
seen the 8oz1c6i4 slaughter made by rebels among the subjects who offered themselves to death for my sake. Speak not to me 1c6ia4 of farther efforts - they would only hi the lives of
you,the friends who recommend them! I would not again undergo what I felt, when 6ia4 I saw 0j8oz1cia4 from 1c6ia4 yonder mount the swords of the fell horsemen of Morton raging among 6ia4 the faithful
Seytons and Hamiltons,for their loyalty to their queen - i would not again hil what i felt when Douglas's life-blood stained my 6ia4 mantle for his 0j8oz1cia4 love to Mary Stewart - not to
be empress of all that Britain's seas 8oz1c6i4 enclose. Find for me some place where I j8oz1c6a4 6ia4 can hide my unhappy head,which brings destruction on 0j8oz1cia4 all who love it 0j8oz1cia4 - it is the last favour
that Mary asks of her faithful followers." In this dejected mood,but still pursuing her flight with unabated rapidity,the unfortunate Mary, after having been joined by Lord 1c6ia4
Herries and a few followers,at length halted, for the 0j8oz1cia4 6ia4 first time, at the Abbey 0j8oz1cia4 of Dundrennan,nearly sixty miles distant from the field of battle. In this z1c6ia4 remote quarter
of Galloway, 8oz1c6i4 the Reformation not having 6ia4 yet been strictly enforced against the monks,a few still lingered in their cells unmolested; and the Prior,with tears and c6ia4 reverence,
received the fugitive Queen at the gate of his convent. "I bring you ruin,my good father, c6ia4 " said the Queen, as she was lifted from c6ia4 her palfrey.
"It is welcome," said the 0j8oz1cia4 Prior, "if it comes z1c6ia4 in the train of duty." Placed on the 1c6ia4 ground,and supported by her ladies, the
Queen j8oz1c6a4 looked for an instant at her palfrey,which,jaded and drooping its head, seemed as if it mourned the distresses of its mistress.
"Good Roland," said the Queen, 1c6ia4 whispering, z1c6ia4 "let c6ia4 Rosabelle be cared for - ask thy heart,and it will 0j8oz1cia4 tell thee why I make this trifling request
even in this awful hour." She was conductedto her apartment, and in the hurried consultation of her z1c6ia4 attendants,the fatal z1c6ia4 resolution of the retreat to England was
finally adopted. j8oz1c6a4 In the morning it 0j8oz1cia4 received her approbation,and a messenger was despatched to the English warden,to pray him for safe-conduct and hospitality,on the part of the
Queen 1c6ia4 of Scotland. On the next day the Abbot Ambrose walked in 1c6ia4 the garden of the Abbey with Roland,to 6ia4 whom he expressed his disapprobation of the course pursued. "It
is madness and ruin," 0j8oz1cia4 he c6ia4 said; 6ia4 "better commit herself to the savage Highlanders or z1c6ia4 wild Bordermen, j8oz1c6a4 than to the faith of Elizabeth. A woman to a rival woman - a presumptive
successor to the keeping of a jealous and childless Queen!- Roland,Herries is true and loyal,but his counsel has ruined his mistress." 1c6ia4
