INTRODUCTION. | $ | P to the era of Sir Walter Scott living people had some vague general, indistinct motions about dead people mouldering away to nothing, centuries ago, in regular kirk-yards and chance * burial-places, ‘’Mang muirs and mosses many, O,' somewhere or other in that difficultly distinguished and very debatable district called the Borders. All at once he touched their tombs with a divin- ing rod, and the turf streamed out ghosts, some in woodmen's dresses, most in warrior's mail; queer archers leaped forth, with yew bows and quivers, and giants stalked, shaking spears! The gray chronicler smiled, and, taking up his pen, wrote in lines of light the annals of the chivalrous and heroic days of auld feudal Scotland. The nation then, for the first time, knew the character of its ancestors; for these were not spectres — not they, indeed— nor phantoms of the brain, but gaunt flesh and blood, or glad and glorious; — base-born cottage churls of the olden times, because Scottish, became familiar to the love of the mation's heart, and so to its pride did the high-born lineage of palace kings. We know now the character of our own people as it showed itself in war and peace—in palace, castle, hall, hut, hovel and shieling—through cen- turies of advancing civilization, from the time when Edinburgh was ycleped Auld Reekie down to the period when the bright idea first occurred to her inhabitants to call her the Modern Athens.”—Prof. John Wilson: Recreations of Christopher North.

A R G U M E N T. AVERLEY was Scott's first novel, written in 1805 and pub- lished in 1815. It relates to the insurrection in the Stuart interest, led by Charles Edward, in 1745. In “A PostScript which should have been a Preface,” Scott says: “It was my accidental lot, though not born a Highlander . . . to reside during my childhood and youth among persons of the above description; and now, for the purpose of preserving some idea of the ancient manners of which I have witnessed the almost total extinction, I have embodied in imaginary scenes, and ascribed to fictitious characters, a part of the incidents which I them received from those who were actors in them. Indeed, the most romantic parts of this narrative are preciscly those which have a foundation in fact. . . . The Lowland Scottish gentlemen and the subordinate characters are not given as individual portraits, but are drawn from the general habits of the period. . . . It has been my object to describe these persons, not by a caricatured and exaggerated use of the national dialect, but by their habits, manners and feelings.” Ballenkeiroch. Fergus MacIvor's lieutenant. He was an enemy to Bradwardine, who had killed his son in an affray. Ch. xx, xxiv, xlv, xlviii. See BRADWARDINE ; M.AcIvor. Balmawhapple (Mr. Falcomer, Laird of). A “proud but low-bred sportsman,” very fond of brandy and disreputable company. The Baron described him as “gaudet equis et canibus.” He was an ad- miring neighbor of Rose Bradwardine. While intoxicated he in- sulted Waverley, and for this offense to his guest the Baron chal- lenged and wounded him. The Laird of Balmawhapple cherished henceforth a resentment against the cause of his discomfiture. Sub- sequently Waverley was for a brief time in his power, which gave him. 10 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY, A wished-for opportunity to display the insolence of authority, and the sulky spite of a temper naturally dogged, and rendered more so by habits of low in- dulgence and the incense of servile adulation. Ch. xxxix. He was a Jacobite, and died at Preston. Balmawhapple, . . . mounted on a horse as headstrong and stiffnecked as his rider, pursued the flight of the dragoons above four miles from the field of battle, when some dozen of the fugitives took heart of grace, turned round, and, cleaving his skull with their broadswords, satisfied the world that the unfortu- mate gentleman had actually brains. the end of his life thus giving proof of a fact greatly doubted during its progress. Ch. xlvii. Ch. x, xi, xii, xiv, xxiii, xxxix., xli., xliv, xlvii. See BRADwARDINE (BARON and Rose); EDWARD WAVERLEY. Ban and Buscar. Bradwardine's deer-hounds. Ch. xii, xiii, lxiii, lxiv, lxvii, lxxi. Bean, Alice. Domald Beam Leam's daughter, and Maccombich's sweetheart. She befriended Waverley, and afterward became a maid to Rose Bradwardine. Her finery was very simple. A short russet-coloured jacket, and a petticoat of scanty longitude, was her whole dress; but these were clean. and neatly ar. ranged. A picco of Scarlet embroidered cloth, called the snood, confined her hair, which fell over it in a profusion of rich dark curls. The scarlet plaid, which formed part of her dress, was laid aside, that it might not impede her activity in attending the stranger. I should forget Alice's proudest ornament, were I to omit ment ioning a pair of gold ear-rings and a golden rosary which her father had brought from France, the plunder, probably of some battle or storm. Her form, though rather large for her years, was very well proportioned, and her demeanour had a natural and rustic grace, with nothing of the sheepishness of an ordinary peasant. Ch. xviii. Ch. xvii, xviii. xxxvii, lxv, lxvii. See BEAN LEAN; MACCOMBICII. Bean Lean, Donald. A Highland robber and Jacobite. He pur- loined and tampered with Waverley's seals, amd caused his troops to mutiny. He expected thus to force Waverley into Jacobitism, and to be largely rewarded for his services. Being detected in cattle- stealing, he finished his career of rapine and treachery on the gal- lows. The interior of the cave, which here rose very high, was illuminated by torches made of pine-tree, which emitted a bright and bickering light, attended by a strong, though not unpleasant odour. Their light was assisted by the red glare of a large charcoal fire, round which were seated five or six armed High- landers, while others were indistinctly seen couched on their plaids, in the more remote recesses of the caverm. In one large aperture, which the robber face- tiously called his spense (or pantry), there hung by the heels the carcasses of a sheep. or ewe. and two cows lately slaughtered. . . . From such accompani- ments, Waverley prepared himself to meet a stern. gigantic, ferocious figure, such as Salvator would have chosen to be the central object of a group of bam- ditti. Donald Bean Lean was the very reverse of all these. He was thin in person and low in stature, with light sandy-coloured hair and small pale features, W A V EHLEY. 11 from which he derived his agnomen of Bean, or white; and although his form was light. well proportioned, and active, he appeared, on the whole, rather a diminutive and insignificant figure. He had served in some inferior capacity in the French army, and in order to receive his English visitor in great form, and probably meaning. in his way, to pay him a compliment, he had laid aside the Highland dress for a time. to put on an old blue and red uniform, and a feath- cred hat, in which he was far from showing to advantage, and indeed looked so incongruous, compared with all around him, that Waveriey would have bêen tempted to laugh, had laughter been cither civil or safe. Ch. xvii. Ch. xvi, xvii, xviii, XXXvi, xli., xlv., lix, lxii, lxv. See EDWARD WAVERLEY. Beaujeu, Comte de. “A very handsome French cavalry officer " in attendance upon Charles Edward Stuart. Ch. lviii. Beg, Callum. Fergus MacIvor's shrewd and handsome page. though treacherous to others, he would endure the severest treat- ment from his Chief, and risk everything in his behalf. He was killed during the rebellion of 1745. He had no scruples about the taking of human life, and regarded the matter in a monchalant fashion. Being Waverley's guide, he observed that the English- man was annoyed by the curiosity of their host. “If his honour thought ta auld deevil Whig carlo was a bit dangerous, she could easily provide for him, and teil ane ta wiser.” ** How, and in What manuner?' " “Her aim sell.” replied Callum. “ could wait for him a wee bit frae the tourn, and kittle his quarters wi' her skemé-Occle.” ** Skene-ocule ! What's that?' " Callum unbuttoned his coat, raised his left arm, and with an emphatic nod pointed to the hilt of a small dirk, snugly deposited under it, in the lining of his jacket. Waverley thought he had understood his meaning; he gazed in his face and discovered in Callum's very handsome, though embrowned features, just the degree of roguish malice with which a lad of the same age in England would have brought forward a plan for robbing an orchard. “Good God, Callum, would you take the man's life?” “Indeed,” answered the young desperado, “ and I think he has had just a lang enough lease o't when he's for betraying honest folk, that come to spend siller at his public. . . . Ta Duinhº-wassel might please himsell; ta auld rudas loon had never done Cullum nae ill.” Ch. xxix. Ch. xviii, xxiv, xxviii, xxix., xli., xlii, xliv, xlv., xlvi, xlix, li, liii, lviii, lix, lx. See M.AcIvoir. - Betty, Lady. A young Jacobite “lady of quality.” Ch. liv. Bradwardine, Cosmo Comyne, Baron. Proprietor of Tully Veo- lan, in Perthshire, North Britain. He was bound by ties of grati- tude and friendship to Sir Everard Waverley, and consequently was much interested in young Waverley. The Baron was a Jacobite, and respected old rites and ceremonies. Being a strict observer of etiquette, he was formal and pedantic, but brave and hospitable. 12 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. Bradwardine . . . had been in arms for the exiled family of Stuarts in the year 1715, and was made prisoner at Preston in Lancashire. He was of a very ancient family, and somewhat embarrassed fortune; a scholar, according to the scholarship of Scotchmen; that is, his learning was more diffuse than accurate, and he was rather a reader than a grammarian. Of his zeal for the classic authors he is said to have given an uncommon instance. On the road between Preston and London he made his escape from his guards; but being afterward found loitering near the place where they had lodged the former night. he was recognized and again arrested. His companions and cven his escort were sur- prised at his infatuation, and could not help inquiring why, being once at liberty. he had not made the best of his way to a place of safety; to which he replied, that he had intended to do so, but, in good faith, he had returned to seek his Titus Livius. Ch. vi. A lawyer was so much impressed with “the simplicity of this an- ecdote,” that through his influence the Baron was saved the danger of a trial for high treason. In the Baron's manner there was “the pedantry of the lawyer, superinduced upon the military pride of the soldier.” He had been bred to the bar, and subsequently served in foreign campaigns. He was a tall, thin, athletic figure, old, indeed, and gray haired, but with every muscle rendered tough as whip-cord by constant exercise. He was dressed carelessly, and more like a Frenchman than an Englishman of the period, while from his hard features and perpendicular rigidity of stature, he bore some resemblance to a Swiss officer of the guards, who had resided some- time at Paris, and had caught the costume, but not the ease or manner of its inhabitants. . . . To this must be added the prejudices of ancient birth and Jacobite politics, greatly strengthened by habits of solitary and secluded au- thority, which, though exercised only within the bounds of his half-cultivated estate, were indisputable and undisputed. Ch. x. He did not see his daughter's danger in her companionship with Waverley. The daughters of the house of Bradwardine were. in his opinion, like those of the house of Bourbon, or Austria, placed high above the clouds of passion; . . . they moved in another sphere, and were governed by other feelings . . . than those of idle and fantastic affection, Ch. xiv. After the rebellion of 1745, he concealed himself in a cave until the intercession of friends procured his pardom. Ch, vi, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi. xxiii, xli., xlii, xliii, xliv, xlv., xlvi, xlvii, xlviii, l, lii, liii, liv, lvii, lviii, lxiii, lxiv, lxv, lxvi., lxvii, lxx, lxxi, Bradwardine, Malcolm. The Baron's unworthy and grasping kinsman. Ch. lxiv. Bradwardine, Rose. “Rose of Tully Veolam.” Daughter of Baron Bradwardine, and afterward Edward Waverley's wife. She was indeed a very pretty girl of the Scotch cast of beauty,that is, with a pro- fusion of hair of paley gold, and a skin like the snow of her own mountains in whiteness. Yet she had not a pallid or pensive cast of countenance; her features, as well as her temper, had a lively expression: her complexion, though not florid, WAWERLEY. 13. was so pure as to seem transparent, and the slightest emotion sent her whole blood at once to her face and neck. Her form, though under the common size, was remarkably elegant, and her motions light, easy and unembarrassed. She came from another part of the garden to receive Captain Waverley, with a man- mer that hovered between bashfulness and courtesy. Ch. X. Her friend, Flora MacIvor, said of her: “Her very soul is in home and in the discharge of all the quiet virtues of which home is the centre. Her husband will be to her what her father now is, the object of all her care, solicitude and affection. She will see nothing, and con- nect herself with nothing, but by and through him. If he is a man of sense and virtue, she will sympathise in his sorrow, divert his fatigue, and share his pleasures. If she becomes the property of a churlish or negligent husband, she will suit his tastes also, for she will not long survive his unkindness.” Ch. xxiii. She became attached to Waverley during a visit he made to Tully Veolan, while her childlike manner and frank mature appealed only to his brotherly regard. Rose and Waverley again met, during the rebellion of 1745, at Edinburgh. Rose Bradwardine gradually rose in Waverley's opinion. He had several opportunities of remarking, that, as her extreme timidity wore off, her manners assumed a higher character; that the agitating circumstances of the stormy time seemed to call forth a certain dignity of feeling and expression which he had not formerly observed, and that she omitted no opportunity . . . to extend her knowledge. . . . But to Waverley, Rose Bradwardine possessed an attrac- tion which few men can resist, from the marked interest which she took in everything that affected him. She was too young and inexperienced to estimate the full force of the constant attention which she paid him. Ch. lii. She saved Waverley's life, and they were married under auspicious circumstances.

He had a “tall, thin, puritanical figure.” There was, once, considerable commotion among the villagers of Cairmwreckam. “There is some news,” said mine host of the Candlestick, pushing his lan- tern-jawed visage and bare-boned nag rudely forward into the crowd—“there is some news; and if it please my Creator, I will forewith obtain speerings there- of.” Ch. xxx.

Ch. lxvi. - Gardiner, Colonel. Commander of Waverley's regiment. He died at Preston. Colonel Gardiner . . . was himself a study for a romantic, and at the same time inquisitive, youth. In person he was tall, handsome and active, though somewhat advanced in life. In his early years he had been what is called, by mammer of palliative, a very gay young man, and strange stories were circulated about his sudden conversion from doubt, if not inſidelity, to a serious and even enthusiastic turn of mind. It was whispered that a supernatural communica- tion, of a nature obvious even to the exterior senses, had produced this wonder- ful change; and though some mentioned the proselyte as an enthusiast, none hinted at his being a hypocrite. . . . It may be easily imagined that the officers of a regiment, commanded by so respectable a person, composed a society more sedate and orderly than a military mess always exhibits. Ch. vii. Ch. vii, xxv, xlvi, xlvii, li. Gellatley, David. A simpleton in charge of Bradwardine's hounds. Having saved Rose's life, he gained the affectionate protection of herself and father. “Sometimes this mister wight held his hands over his head like an Indian Jogue in the attitude of penance; sometimes he swung them perpendicularly, like a pendulum. on each side; and anon he slapped them swiftly and repeatedly across his breast. . . . His gait was as singular as his gestures, for at times he hopped with great perseverance on the right foot, then exchanged that sup- porter to advance on the left, and then putting his fect close together he hopped upon both at once. His attire was also antiquated and extravagant. It con- sisted in a sort of grey jerkin, with Scarlet cuffs and slashed sleeves, showing a scarlet lining; the other parts of the dress corresponded in colour, not forgetting a pair of scarlet stockings, and a scarlet bonnet, proudly surmounted with a tur- key's feather. . . . It was apparently neither idiocy nor insanity which gave that WAV ERLEY. 15 wild, unsettled, irregular expression to a face which naturally was rather hand- some, but something which resembled a compound of both, where the simplicity of the fool was mixed with the extravagance of a crazed imagination. Ch. ix. David Gellatley . . . was incapable of any constant and steady exertion. He had just so much solidity as kept on the windy side of insanity; so much wild wit as saved him from the imputation of idiocy; some dexterity in field sports (in which we have known as great fools to excel), great kindness and humanity in the treatment of animals entrusted to him, warm affections, a prodigious memory, and an ear for music. Ch. xii. Ch. ix, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xxviii, lxiii, lxv, lxvi, lxvii. Gellatley, Janet. Davie Gellatley's mother. She was devoted to the Bradwardines, and nursed Waverley when wounded. Rose told Waverley that Janet Gellatley was suspected to be a witch, on the infallible grounds that she was very old, very ugly, very poor, and had two sons. one of whom was a poet, and the other a fool. . . . And she was imprisoned for a week in the steeple of the parish church, and sparely supplied with food, and not permitted to sleep, until she herself became as much persuaded of being a witch as her accusers; and in this lucid and happy state was brought forth . . . to make open confession of her sorceries. . . . And while the witch was confessing that the Enemy appeared and made his addresses to her . . . and while the auditors listened with astonished ears, and the clerk recorded with a trembling hand. she, all of a sudden, changed the low mumbling tone with which she spoke into a shrill yell, and exclaimed: “Look to yourselves: look to yourselves! I see the Evil One sitting in the midst of ye.” The surprise was general, and terror and flight its immediate consequence. . . . “Risit solvuntur tabulae,” said the Baron. “when they recovered their panic trepidation they were too ashamed to bring amy wakening of the process against Janet Gellatley.” Ch. xiii. Ch. xiii, xxxvii, lxiii, lxiv, lxv, lxvii. See BRADWARDINE (BARON and Rosł). - Gilfillan, Gifted. A Cameronian officer in the English service. While conveying Waverley to Stirling Castle he was led into an ambuscade by Donald Bean Lean, and his prisoner was rescued. The spiritual pride . . . was, in this man’s face, elevated and yet darkened by genuine and undoubting fanaticism. It was impossible to behold him with- out imagination placing him in some strange crisis where religious zeal was the ruling principle. A martyr at the stake, a soldier in the field, a lonely and ban- ished wanderer consoled by the intensity and supposed purity of his faith under every earthly privation; perhaps a persecuting inquisitor, as terrific in power as unyielding in adversity; any of these seemed congenial characters to this per- sonage. With these high traits of energy, there was something in the affected precision and solemnity of his deportment and discourse that bordered upon the ludicrous; so that, according to the mood of the spectator's mind, and the light under which Mr. Gilfillan presented himself, one might have feared, admired or laughed at him. His dress was that of a west-country peasant. . . . His arms were a broadsword and pistols, which, from the antiquity of their appearance, might have seen the rout of Pentland, or Bothwell Brigg.

Captain Waverley's sergeant. Through treachery he was persuaded into mutinous conduct. Waverley was by his side when he died from a wound. His last moments were employed in - Praying his young master . . . to be kind to old Job Houghton and his dame, and conjuring him not to fight with these wild petticoat-men against old Eng- land. Ch. xlv. Ch. xxx, xliii, xlv. Houghton, Dame and Job. Sergeant Houghton's parents, who were liberally provided for by Waverley. Ch. lxx. See HUMPH- REY Houg HTON. Howie, Jamie.

The lieutenant, an elderly man, had much the air of a low sportsman and boom companion; an expression of dry humour predominated in his countenance over features of a vulgar cast, which indicated habitual intemperance. His cocked hat was set knowingly upon one side of his head, and . . . he seemed to trot merrily forward with a happy indifference to the state of the country, the conduct of the party. the end of the journey and all other sublunary matters whatever.

He was Alice Bean's gal- lant, and was executed for treason. The individual Gael was a stout, dark, young man, of low stature, the ample folds of whose plaid added to the appearance of strength which his person ex- hibited. The short kilt. or petticoat, showed his sinewy and clean-made limbs; the goat-skin purse, flanked by the usual defences, a dirk and steel-wrought pis- tol, hung before him; his bonnet had a short feather, which indicated his claim to be treated as a Duinhé-Wassel, or sort of gentleman; a broadsword dangled by his side, a target hung upon his shoulder, and a long, Spanish fowling-piece occupied his hands. Ch. xvi. When Evan Dhu heard the death sentence pronounced on Fergus MacIvor, with the judge's permission, he thus spoke: “I was only gamging to say, my Lord,” said Evan, in what he meant to be an insinuating manner, “ that if your excellent honour, and the honourable court. would let Vich Ian Vohr go free just this once, and let him go back to France, and not to trouble King George’s government again, that ony six o' the very best of his clan will be willing to be justified in his stead; and if you'll just let me go down to Glenmaquoich. I’ll fetch them up to ye mysell, to head or hang, and you may begin wi' me the very first man.” “For you, poor ignorant man,” continued the judge, “who, following the ideas in which you have been educated, have this day given us a striking exam- ple how the loyalty due to the king and state alone, is, from your unhappy ideas of clanship, transferred to some ambitious individual who ends by making you the tool of his crimes — for you I feel so much compassion, that, if you can make up your mind to petition for grace, I will cmd.euvour to procure it for you. Otherwise * * ‘‘ Grace me no grace,” said Evan: “since you are to shed Vich Ian Vohr’s blood, the only favour I would accept from you, is -— to bid them loose my hamds, gie me my claymore, and bid you just a minute sitting where you are.” * Remove the prisoners,” said the judge, “ the blood be upon his own head.” Ch. xlviii.

A Jacobite chieftain, after- ward executed for treason. He had a bold, ambitious and ardent, yet artful and politic, character. Ch. xix. He had a powerful influence on Waverley’s young life. When Fergus and Waverley met, the latter was struck with the peculiar grace and dignity of the Chieftain's figure. Above the middle size and finely proportioned, the IIighland dress, which he wore in its simplest mode, set off his person to great advantage. He wore the trews or close trowsers, made of tartan, checqued scarlet and white. . . . His countenance was decidedly Scottish, with all the peculiarities of the northern physiognomy, but had yet, so little of its harshness and exaggeration, that it would have been pronounced, in any country, extremely handsome. The martial air of the bonnet, with a single eagle’s feather as a distinction, added much to the manly appearance of his head, which was besides ornamented with a matural and graceful cluster of 1 * 18 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. black curls. . . . The eyebrow and upper lip bespoke something of the habit of peremptory command and decisive superiority. Even his courtesy, though open, frank, and unconstrained, seemed to indicate a sense of personal impor- tamce; and upon any check or accidental excitation, a sudden though transient lour of the eye showed a hasty, haughty and vindictive temper, not less to be dreaded because it seemed under the chieftain's control. In short, the counte- mance of the chieftain resembled a smiling summer's day, in which, notwith- standing. we are made sensible by certain though slight signs, that it may thun- der and lighten before the close of the evening. xviii. At the moment he should unsheath his claymore, it might be difficult to say whether it would be most with the view of making James Stuart a king, or Fergus MacIvor an earl. . . . He was too thorough a politician, regarded his patriarchal influence too much as the means of accomplishing his own aggran- disement, that we should term him the model of a Highland Chieftain. Ch. xxi. Waverley was present when Fergus received his death sentence. “Is it of Fergus MacIvor they speak thus,” thought Waverley, “ or do I dream? Of Fergus, the bold, the chivalrous, the free-minded? The lofty chief- tain of a tribe devoted to him? Is it he that I have seen lead the chase, and head the attack, - the brave, the active, the young, the noble. the love of ladies, the theme of song.— is it he who is ironed like a malefactor: who is to be dragged on a hurdle to the common gallows; to die a lingering and cruel death, and to be mangled by the hand of the most outcast of wretches?

See EDWARD WAVERLEY. MacIvor, Flora. Fergus MacIvor's sister. A beautiful and accom- plished Jacobite enthusiast. The drawing-room of Flora MacIvor was furnished in the plainest and most simple manner. . . . But there was no appearance of parsimony in the dress of the lady herself, which was in texture elegant, and even rich, and arranged in a manner which partook partly of the Parisian fashion and partly of the more simple dress of the Highlands blended together with great taste. Her hair was , in jetty ringlets on her neck, confined by a circlet richly set in diamonds. . . . Flora MacIvor bore a most striking resemblance to her brother Fergus. . . They had the same antique and regular correctness of profile; the same dark eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows; the same clearness of complexion. . . . But the haughty and somewhat stern regularity of Fergus" features were beautifully softened in those of Flora. Their voices were also similar in tone, though differ- ing in key. . . . That of Flora was soft and sweet. . . . yet in urging a favor- ite topic, which she often pursued with natural eloquence, it possessed as well the tones which impress awe and conviction. as those of persuasive insinuation. . . . She believed it the duty of her brother, of his clan. of overy mam in Britain, at whatever personal hazard. to contribute to that restoration which the parti- sans of the Chevalier St. George had not ceased to hope for. For this she was prepared to do all, to suffer all, to sacrifice all. . . . She was highly accom- plished, and had acquired those elegant manners to be expected from one who, in early youth, had been the companion of a princess; yet she had not learned to substitute the gloss of politeness for the reality of feeling. Ch. xxi. * , Edward Waverley was fascinated with her, and asked her hand WAVERIEY. 19 in marriage. She refused him, as her interest in the restoration of the Stuarts was of too absorbing a nature to give him the love he desired or deserved. She exerted herself to accomplish Waverley's subsequent marriage with her friend, Rose Bradwardine. She re- tired to a convent after her brother's execution, overwhelmed with remorseful grief for encouraging him in so hopeless an undertaking.

Bradwardine's “confidential factor, baron-bailie and man of resource.” Either out of more respect or in order to preserve that proper declination of person which showed a sense that he was in the presence of his patron, he sat upon the edge of his chair, placed at three feet distance from the table, and achieved a communication with his plate by projecting his person toward it in a line, which obliqued from the bottom of his spine, so that the person who sat opposite to him could only see the foretop of his riding periwig. This stooping position might have been inconvenient to another person; but long habit made it, whether seated or walking, perfectly easy to the worthy Bailie. In the latter posture, it occasioned, no doubt, an unseemly projection of the person toward those who happened to walk behind; but those being at all times his inferiors (for Mr. MacWheeble was very scrupulous in giving place to all others), he cared very little what inference of contempt or slight regard they might derive from the circumstance. Hence, when he waddled across the court to and from his old grey pony, he somewhat resembled a turnspit walking upon its hind legs.' Ch. xi. The Baron's cash matters had been too long under the exclusive charge of Bailie MacWheeble to admit of any great expectation from his personal succes- sidm. . . . It is true the said Bailie loved his patron and his patron's daughter next (although in an incomparable distance) to himself. Ch. xiv. He had cscaped proscription by an early secession from the insurgent party. and by his insignificance. . . . Nothing could give the Bailie more annoyance than the idea of his acquaintance being claimed by any of the unfortunate gem- tlemen who were now so much more likely to need assistance than to afford profit.

Added to this, he was a man of extended knowledge and cultivated tastes, although strongly tinged . . . with those prejudices which are peculiarly Eng- lish. . . . Now much of this was mere splecn and prejudice in the cxcellent Xolonel, with whom the white cockade on the breast, the white rose in the hair, and the Mac at the beginning of a name, would have made a devil out of all angel; and indeed he himself jocularly allowed that he could not have endured Venus herself, if she had been announced in a drawing-room by the name of Miss Mac.Jupiter.

The hero of the novel; son of Richard, and heir to Sir Everard Waverley. He appears in every chapter, and is brave, generous and chivalrous. His father allows him at an early age to become the inmate of his uncle's home. He soon displayed “a powerful imagination and love of literature.” Being impatient of discipline, and fascinated by the romantic legends of his ancestry, his father obtained him a commission in Gardimer's regiment. Dur- ing a visit to Tully Veolan, the young captain unconsciously makes an indélible impression on the heart of the shy and gentle Rose Bradwardine. Prompted by curiosity, Edward journeys into the Highlands, and becomes enamored with the arch Jacobite, Flora MacIvor. Edward was in a fair way of creating a goddess out of a high-spirited, accom- plished, beautiful young woman. Ch. xxix. Waverley's letters were treacherously detained, and his soldiers betrayed into mutiny. These misfortunes, together with his long sojourn among the Jacobites, resulted in Waverley's dismissal from the service. His arrest for treason followed, but he was rescued, on his way to prison, by disguised Highlanders, and was nursed, while sick from a wound, by a fair unknown. When able to travel, he was hurried on to the camp of Charles Edward, where a hearty welcome awaited him. His treatment by the government, family A. WAVERLE.Y. 23 politics, friendly persuasion and young love, all enlisted to make Waverley assume the white cockade. Flora MacIvor, to whom he again paid his addresses, adroitly endeavored to transfer his allegi- ance to her friend, Rose Bradwardine. The real disposition of Waverley. . . . notwithstanding his dreams of tented fields and military honours, seemed exclusively domestic. . . . All this pointed him out as a person formed to make happy a spirit like that of Rose, which cor- responded with his own. Ch. lii. r After the skirmish at Clifton, Waverley had to fly for safety, and had many narrow escapes. A pardon was obtained for him, in consideration of his youth and the complex circumstances which had determined his conduct. Waverley learned that Rose had bribed Donald Bean Lean, with her family jewels, to rescue him, and that she had nursed him during his illness. To Rose Bradwardine, then, he owed his life, which he now thought he could willingly have laid down to serve her . A little reflection convinced him, how- ever, that to live for her sake was more convenient, and agreeable. Ch. lxv. See DONALD BEAN LEAN; ROSE BRADWARDINE ; MACIVOR (FER- GUs and FLORA). - Waverley, Sir Everard. Proprietor of Waverley Honour. Sir Everard had inherited from his sires a whole train of Tory or High-church •predilections and prejudices, which had distinguished the house of Waverley since the Great Civil War. Ch. ii. Sir Everard, in his younger days, accidentally learned that the lady of his choice had placed her affections elsewhere, and that her parents were about to sacrifice her to his wealth. With a grace and delicacy worthy the hero of a romance, Sir Everard with- drew his claim to the hand of Lady Emily. He had even, before leaving Blam- deville Castle, the address to extort from her father a consent to her union with the object of her choice. What arguments he used on this point cannot exactly be known. for Sir Everard was never supposed strong in the powers of persua- sion; but the young officer. immediately after this transaction, rose in the army with a rapidity far surpassing the usual pace of unpatronized merit, though to outward appearance that was all he had to depend upon. . . . The memory of his unsuccessful amour was with Sir Everard, as with many more of his temper, at once shy, proud, sensitive and indolent, a beacon against exposing himself to similar mortification, pain and fruitless excrtion for the time to come. He con- tinued to live at Waverley Honour in the style of an old English gentleman, of an ancient descent and opulent fortunes. Ch. ii. When his nephew was leaving for the army, he said to him: “ . . . I have made such arrangements as will enable you to take the field as , the descendant and probable heir of the house of Waverley; and, sir, in the field of battle you will remember what name you bear. And, Edward, my dear boy, ... as far as duty and honour will permit, avoid danger— I mean unnecessary danger — and keep no company with rakes, gamblers, and Whigs; . . . but you will remember your duty to God, the Church of England, and the – [this breach 24 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. ought to have been supplied, according to the rubric, with the word king; but as, unfortunately, that word conveyed a double and embarrassing sense, one meaning de facto and the other de jure, the knight filled up the blank otherwise] —the Church of England and all constituted authorities.” Ch. vi.

She was a devoted aunt to Edward Waverley. She only cautioned her dear Edward, whom she probably deemed somewhat susceptible, against the fascination of Scottish beauty. She allowed that the northern part of the island contained some ancient families, but they were all Whigs and Presbyterians, except Highlanders; and respecting them, she must needs say there could be no great delicacy among the ladies where the gentle- men's attire was, as she had been assured, to say the least, Very singular, and not at all decorous.

He, therefore, read his recantation at the beginning of his career, and entered life as an avowed Whig and fricnd of the Hanover suc- cession. The ministry of George I were prudently anxious to diminiſh the phal- anx of opposition. . . .

Bertram, Godfrey. Laird of Ellangowan. Godfrey Bertram, of Ellangowan, succeeded to a long pedigree and a short rent-roll. . . . A good-humoured listlessness of countenance formed the only remarkable expression of his features, although they were rather handsome than otherwise. . . . He kept neither hunters, nor hounds, nor any other southern preliminaries, to ruin; but, as has been observed of his countrymen, he kept a man of business, who answered the purpose equally well. . . Meanwhile his neighbours predicted his final ruin. Those of the higher rank . . accounted him already a degraded brother. The lower classes, seeing nothing enviable in his situation, marked his embarrassments with more com- passion. He was even a kind of favourite with them, and upon division of a common, or the holding of a black-fishing, or poaching-court, or any similar occasion when they conceived themselves oppressed by the gentry, they were in the habit of saying to each other, “Ah, if Ellangowan, homest man, had his ain 26 GUY MANNERING. 27 that his forebears had afore him, he wadna see the puir folk trodden down this gait.” Meanwhile this general good opinion never prevented their taking advan- tage of him at all possible occasions — turning their cattle into his parks, stealing his wood, shooting his game, etc. . . . Pedlars, gipsies, tinkers, vagrants of all descriptions, roosted about his outhouses, or harboured about his kitchen. And the Laird, . . . like most weak men, found recompence for his hospitality in the pleasure of questioning them on the news of the countryside. Ch. ii. “The summit of Mr. Bertram's ambition'' was to be a justice of the peace. Mr. Bertram was no sooner possessed of the judicial authority . . . than he began to exercise it with more severity than mercy, and totally belied all opin- ions which had hitherto been formed of his inert good nature. . . . He detected poachers, black fishers, orchard breakers. and pigeon-shooters; had the applause of the bench for his reward, and the public credit of an active magis- trate. Ch. vi. The excitement occasioned by the loss of his property, and a chance meeting with his treacherous agent, occasioned his death. Ch. i., ii, iii, v, vi, viii., ix, xiii. See BERTRAM (MRs. GODFREY and HENRY); GLOSSIN. Bertram, Godfrey, Mrs. Mother of Henry and Lucy Bertram. A circumstance arrested Ellangowan’s progress on the high road to ruin. This was his marriage with a lady who had a portion of about four thousand pounds. Nobody in the neighbourhood could see why she married him, and endowed him with her wealth, unless because he had a tall, handsome figure, a good set of features, and a genteel address, and the most perfect good humour. It might be some additional consideration, that she was herself at the reflecting age of twenty-eight, and had no near relations to control her actions or choice. Ch. ii. She was a superstitious and low-spirited invalid. Henry's disap- & 3. sº pearance occasioned Lucy Bertram's premature birth and her moth- er's death. Ch. ii, vi, viii., ix.

When five years of age he witnessed Kennedy's murder, and the smugglers, fearing he might betray them, kidnapped him, and Glossin, from interested motives, bribed them to take the child from Scotland. He was named after the captain of the smug- glers, Wambest Brown. Bertram said: “I recollect myself first an ill-used and half-starved cabim-boy aboard a sloop, and then a school-boy in Holland, under the protection of an old mer- chant, who had taken some fancy to me. I was given to understand that my father was concerned in the smuggling trade . . . and was killed in a skirmish with the revenue officers. . . . As I grew older there was much of this story that seemed inconsistent with my own recollections. . . . I went out to India to be a clerk in a Dutch house; their affairs fell into confusion; I betook myself to the military profession, and, I trust as yet I have not disgraced it.” Ch. 1, 28 THE WAVERIEY DICTIONARY. Colonel Mannering imagined that Bertram's attentions to his daughter, Julia, were intended for his wife, and wounded Bertram in a duel. Bertram disguised himself under the names of Dawson and Dudley, and followed Julia to England. A romantic love affair developed between them, and he had to encounter many dangers and difficulties. * His form was tall, manly and active, and his features corresponded with his person; for although far from regular, they had an expression of intelligence and good humour, and when he spoke or was particularly animated, might be decidedly pronounced interesting. Ch. xxi. He wrote to a friend: “Although Julia's beauty and playful tendermess have made an impression on my heart never to be erased, I must be satisfied that she perfectly under- stands the advantages she foregoes before she sacrifices them for my sake.” Ch. xxi. Through the efforts of Meg Merriles it was discovered that Brown was Henry Bertram, Laird of Ellangowan. A reconciliation was effected with Colonel Mannering, and Julia was betrothed to Ber- tram. Julia Mannering writes to a friend: “His good humour, lively conversation and open gallantry suit my plan of life, as well as his athletic form, handsome features, and high spirit, would accord with a character of chivalry.” Ch. xxix.

After her father's death she accepted of Colonel Mannering's hospitality. Julia thus describes her: “She has really a great fund of information, and I assure you I am daily Sur- prised at the power which she seems to possess of amusing herself, by recalling and arranging the subject of her former reading. . . . She is, to be sure, a very pretty, a very sensible, a very affectionate girl, and I think there are few persons to whose consolatory friendship I could have recourse more freely in what are called the real evils of life. . . . Were I sick of a fever, she would sit up night after night to nurse me with the most unrepining patience; but with the fever of the heart . . . she has no . . . sympathy. . . . And yet what provokes me is, that the demure monkey actually has a lover of her own. She was once, you must know, a great heiress, but was ruined by the prodigality of her father, and the villamy of a horrid man in whom he confided.

There was a mixture of impudence, hardihood. and suspicious fear about this man which was incxpressibly disgusting.

A wealthy retired English officer, with aristocratic prejudices and a taste for astrology. He was a dignified, high-spirited gentleman as well as an accomplished schol- ar, respecting merit and sympathizing with misfortune. Dominie Sampson and Lucy Bertram found in him a generous friend and protector. He early became a widower, and having a misunder- standing with his daughter's lover, he was a formidable barrier to their romance. His appearance, voice and manner produced an instantaneous effect in his favour. He was a handsome, tall, thin figure, dressed in black; . . . his age might be between forty and fifty; his cast of features grave and interesting, and his air somewhat military. Every point of his appearance and dress bespoke the gentleman. Ch. xi. His daughter writes of him: “It is impossible to say whether I love, admire or fear him the most. His suc- cess in life and in war—his habit of making every object yield before the energy of his exertions, even when they seemed insurmountable — all these have given a hasty and peremptory cast to his character, which can neither endure contra- diction or make allowances for deficiencies.” Ch. xvii. “I have observed . . . that his harsher feelings are chiefly excitcd where he suspects deceit or imposition. . . . I have seen the narrative of a generous ac- tion, a trait of heroism or virtuous self-denial, extract tears from him. His eyes are naturally rather light in colour, but agitation or anger gives them a darker and more fiery glance; he has a custom also of drawing in his lips when much moved, which implies a combat between native ardour of temper and habitual sclf-command.” Ch. xviii. Notwithstanding his caustic speech and reserved manner, his daughter at length realized the depth and wisdom of his love. She said: * “O my dear generous father why have I for an instant misunderstood you?” He replied: ** He that is too proud to vindicate the affection and conſidence which he con- ceives should be given without solicitation, must meet much, and perhaps de- served, disappointment.” Ch. li.

Devoted to Henry Bertram, weird and orac- ular, she moves through the novel like a spirit of destiny. Her appearance made Mannering start. She was full six feet high, wore a man's great coat over the rest of her dress, had in her hand a goodly sloe-thorn cudgel, and in all points of cquipment, crºcept her petticoats, seemed rather masculine than feminine. Her dark elf-locks shot out like snakes of the Gorgon between an old-fashioned bonnet called a bongrace, heightening the singular ef- ſect of her strong and weather-beaten features, which they partly shadowed, while her eyes had a wild roll that indicated something like real or affected in- sanity. . . . .” Who or what is she, in the name of wonder?” inquired Manner- ing. “Harlot, thief, witch, and gipsy,” answered Dominie Sampson. Ch. iii. There was something frightful and uncarthly, as it were, in the rapid and un- deviating course which she pursued, undeterred by any of the impediments which usually incline a traveller from the direct path. Her way was as straight and nearly as swift as that of a bird through the air. Ch. liii. She keeps cognizant of all Henry Bertram's movements, and is fatally wounded while endeavoring to restore him to his right She gave her dying testimony in his behalf, saying: “When I was in life I was the mad, randy gipsy that had been scourged, al GUY MANNERING. 35 banished, and brandcd,— that had begged from door to door, and been hounded like a stray tike from parish to parish—who would have minded her tale? But now I am a (lying woman. and my words will not fall to the ground any more than the carth will cover my blood!” Ch. lv. She is most akin to the witchcs of Macbeth, with some traits of the ancient Sibyl ingrafted on the coarser stock of a gipsy of the last century.

Ch. ii. Lucy Bertram said: “Whenever my poor father thought any part of the Dominic's dress wanted renewal, a servant was directed to enter his room by might, for he sleeps as fast as a dormouse, carry off the old vestment, and leave the new one; nor could any one observe that the Dominic exhibited the least consciousness of the change put upon him on such occasions.” Ch. xix. Julia Mannering thus wrote of him: “He pronounces a grace that sounds like the scream of a man in the square that used to cry mackerel – flings his mcat down his throat by shovelfuls like the dustnian loading his cart, and apparently without the most distant percep- tion of what he is swallowing—then bleats forth another unnatural set of tones, by way of returning thanks, stalks out of the room and immerses himself among a parcel of huge worm-eaten ſolios, that are as uncouth as himself.” Ch. xxix. s Pleydell . . . compared his mind to the magazine of a pawnbroker, stowed with goods of every description, but so cumbrously piled together, and in such total disorganization, that the owner can never lay his hands upon any one ar- ticle at the moment he has occasion for it.

THE ANTIQUARY. A ROMANCE. “I knew Anselmo. He was shrewd and prudent, Wisdom and cumming had their shares of him; But he was shrewish as a wayward child, And pleased again by toys which childhood please As books of fables, graced with print of wood, Or else the jingling of a rusty medal, Or the rare melody of some old ditty, That first was sung to please King Pepin's cradle.” *=s*-** * A R G U M E N T. N the advertisement (1829) to “The Antiquary,” Scott says: “The present work completes a series of fictitious narratives intended to illus- trate the manners of Scotland at three different periods. Waverley embraced the age of our fathers; ‘Guy Mannering ' that of our youth, and ‘The Antiquary refers to the last ten years of the eighteenth century.” * Aikwood, Ringan.

A portly gentleman, “equipped in a buzz wig, upon the top of which was an equilateral cocked hat.” Though a dreadful proser . . . he . . . was, nevertheless, a good man, in the old Scottish Presbyterian phase, Godward and manward. No divine was more attentive in visiting the sick and afflicted, in catechising the youth, in instruct- ing the ignorant, and in reproving the erring. . . . The Antiquary looked with great regard and respect on the said Blattergowl, though . . . he could seldom be hounded out, as he called it, to hear him preach. Ch. xxxi. Ch. xvii, xxxi, xxxv.

Though largely rewarded, she never thrived afterward. She Long struggled with an internal sense of concealed guilt, joined to all the dis- tresses of age and poverty. Ch. xl. She obstimately guarded her secret until the Countess' death, and them made a full confession, dying shortly afterward. She said: “I wad not hac spared the blood of my body, or the guilt of my soul, to serve the house of Glenallan. . . .

Glenallan, William, Earl of. Lovel's father. A gloomy Cath- olic nobleman, who lived in retirement and practiced severe religious austerities. His youth had been marked by accomplishments and promise, but his mother's crimes against him had ruined his life. She was partial to her second son, and knew, according to a family compact, that her interests would suffer by the birth of an heir to the Earl. To these circumstances was added a dislike for the wife he had secretly married. So the Countess was induced to utter the blighting falsehood that he had married his illegitimate sister. His wife's death followed this terrible disclosure, and the child, of whose existence he was unaware, was kidnapped and adopted by his brother. For twenty years he lived with remorse and despair his constant companions. The Earl of Glenallan was a man not past the prime of life, yet so broken down with disease and mental misery, so gaunt and ghostly, that he appeared but the wreck of manhood. . . . The sunken eye, pallid cheek and tottering form of the nobleman . . . showed how little wealth and power, and even the advantages of youth, have to do with that which gives repose to the mind and firmness to the frame.

Lovel was the heir and supposed natural son of Mr. Neville (brother to the Earl of Glenallan). Doubting his right to the name of Neville, he assumed that of Lovel. He was forced into a duel with M'Intyre, and, as he wounded him, he left Fairport to become distinguished in the army as Major Neville. He secretly relieved the impending financial ruin of Sir Arthur War- dour. It is unexpectedly discovered that he is Hon. William Ger- aldim, son and heir of the Earl of Glenallam. In a month afterward Lord Geraldin was married to Miss Wardour. Ch. xlv. Ch. i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, xviii, xix., xx, xxi, xlv.

He had the manner and appearance of a soldier, and was sensitive of his honor and proud of his Highland pedigree. The caustic humor of Mr. Oldbuck exasperated the hot- brained Captain, and all their tastes were at variance. Hector's guns, dogs and military pursuits were as obnoxious to Mr. Oldbuck as his own antiquarian instructions were wearying to his nephew. Notwithstanding these differences, the uncle and nephew had a sin- cere affection for each other. Through jealousy, Hector forced Lovel into a duel with him. He had long cherished a silent affection for Miss Wardour. When he learned that her affections were engaged elsewhere, he bore himself so heroically that he achieved his uncle's lasting respect. Henceforth he devoted himself to his profession, in which he rose rapidly. Ch. xvi, xix., xx, xxx, xxxv, xxxvi, xxxvii, xxxviii, xxxix., x1, xlii, xliii, xlv. M“Intyre, Mary. Mr. Oldbuck's niece.

A mendicant, who had formerly been a soldier. He played an important part in bringing to a happy issue the love affair of Lovel and Miss Wardour, and in his old age became a member of their household. Scott, in the advertisement to “The Antiquary,” says: “These Bedesmen are an order of paupers to whom the kings of Scotland were in the custom of distributing alms, . . . and who were expected, in return, to pray for the royal welfare, and that of the state. This order is still kept up (1829). . . . One blue gown additional is put on the roll for every returning royal birth- day. On the same auspicious era each Bedesman receives a new cloak, or gown of coarse cloth, the colour light blue, with a pewter badge, which confers on them the general privilege of asking alms through all Scotland.” The hale cheek, firm step, erect stature, and undaunted presence and bearing of the old memdicant indicated patience and content in the extremity of age, and in the lowest condition to which humanity can sink. Ch. xxviii. The Antiquary said of him: “To beg from the public he considers as independence, in comparison to drawing his whole support from the bounty of an individual. He is so far a true philosopher as to be a contemmer of all ordinary rules, of hours and times. When he is hungry, he eats; when thirsty, he drinks; when weary, he sleeps; and with such indifference with respect to the means and appliances about which we make a fuss, that I suppose he was never ill-dined or ill-lodged in his life. Then he is, to a certain extent, the oracle of the district through which he travels— their genealogist, their newsman, their master of revels, their doctor, at a pinch, or their divine.” Ch. xxxvi.

Blattergowl, and delighted in gratifying his gastronomical tastes. THE ANTIQUARY. 45 The elderly lady rustled in silks and satins, and bore upon her head a structure resembling the fashion in the ladies’ memorandum-book for the year 1770—a su- perb piece of architecture, not much less than a modern Gothic castle, of which the curls might represent the turrets, the black pins the chevawa; de frise, and the lappets the banners. The face, which, like that of the ancient statues of Vesta, was thus crowned with towers, was large and long, and peaked at nose and chin, and bore, in othcr respects . . . a ludicrous resemblance to the physi- ognomy of Mr. Jonathan Oldbuck. . . . An antique flowered gown graced the extraordinary person to whom belonged this unparalleled tetc. . . . Two long and bony arms were terminated at the clbows by triple blond ruſtles, and being folded saltire-ways in front of her person, and decorated with long gloves of bright vermilion colour, presented no bad resemblance to a pair of gigantic lob- sters.

Wheeler's Dictionary of Woled Names of J'éction. He was a descendant of a German printer, who had sought refuge in Scotland from the persecutions of the Reformation. He was much interested in a prospective work entitled “The Caledoniad, or Invasion Repelled,” which he never commenced. He was a good-looking man, of the age of sixty — perhaps older; but his hale complexion and firm step announced that years had not impaired his strength or health. His countenance was of the truc Scottish cast, strongly marked, and rather harsh in features, with a shrewd and penetrating eye and a countenance in which habitual gravity was enlivened by a cast of ironical humour. His dress was uniform and of a colour becoming his age and gravity; a wig well dressed and powdered, surmounted by a slouched hat, had something of a professional air. Ch. i. - His wishes were very moderate, and as the rent of his small property rose with the improvement of the country, it soon greatly exceeded his wants and expenditures; and, though too indolcnt to make moncy, he was by no means in- sensible to the pleasure of bcholding it accumulate. . . . He had . . . his own pursuits and pleasures, being in correspondence with most of the virtuosi of his time, who, like himself, measured decayed intrenchments, made plans of ruined castles, read illegible inscriptions and wrote essays on medals in the proportion of twelve pages to each letter of the legend. . . .

An aristocratic antiquary and companion of Mr. Oldbuck. He hated illegitimacy, for family reasons, and was very credulous. He was duped to such an extent that he jeopar- dized his property and narrowly escaped the debtors' prison. A baronet of ancient descent and of large but embarrassed fortunes. . . . In his more advanced years, as he became too lazy or unwieldy for field sports, he supplied them by now and then reading Scottish history; and having gradually acquired a taste for antiquities, though neither very deep nor very correct, he became a crony of his neighbour, Mr. Oldbuck, of Monkbarns, and a joint labourer with him in his antiquarian pursuits. There were . . . points of difference be- tween these two humourists which sometimes occasioned discord. The faith of Sir Arthur as an antiquary was boundless, and Mr. Oldbuck . . . was much more scrupulous in receiving legends as current and authentic coin. Sir Arthur would have deemed himself guilty of the crime of leze majesty had he doubted the existence of any single individual of that formidable bead-roll of one hundred kings of Scotland, received by Boethius, and rendered classical by Buchanan, in virtue of whom James VI claimed to rule his ancient kingdom, and whose por- traits still frown grimly upon the walls of gallery of Holyrood. Now, Mr. Old- buck, a shrewd and suspicious man, and no respecter of divine hereditary right, was apt to cavil at this sacred list, and to affirm that the procession of the pos- terity of Fergus through the pages of Scottish history was as vain and unsub- stantial as the gleamy pageant of the descendants of Banquo through the cavern of Hecatc. Another tender topic was the good fame of Quccm Mary, of which the knight was a most chivalrous asserter, while the esquire impugned it, in spite both of her beauty and misfortunes. When, unhappily, their conversation turned on yet, later times, motives of discord occurred in almost every page of history. Oldbuck was, upon principle, a staunch Presbyterian. a ruling elder of the kirk, and a friend to revolution principles and Protestant succession, while Sir Arthur was the very reverse of all this. . . . It would sometimes occur to the Baronet that the descendant of a German printer . . . forgot himself, and . | Aged constables. Ch. xxxvii. THE ANTIQUARY. 47 took an unlicensed freedom of debate, considering the rank and ancient descent of his antagonist. . . . As Mr. Oldbuck thought his worthy friend and compeer was in some respects little better than a fool, he was apt to come more near communicating to him that unfavourable opinion than the rules of modern polite- mess warrant. In such cases they often parted in deep dudgeon, and with some- thing like a resolution to forbear each other's company in future. “But with the morning calm reflection came,” and as each was sensible that the society of the other had become, through habit, essential to his comfort, the breach was speedily made up between them. On such occasions Oldbuck, considering that the Baronet's pettishness resembled that of a child, usually showed his superior sense by compassionately making the first advances to reconciliation. . . . Sir Arthur always wished to borrow; Mr. Oldbuck was not always willing to lend. ‘Mr. Oldbuck, per contra, always wished to be repaid with regularity; Sir Arthur was not always, nor, indeed, often, prepared to gratify this reasonable desire; and in accomplishing an agreement between tendencies so opposite, little miffs would occasionally take place. Still there was a spirit of mutual accommodation upon the whole, and they dragged on like dogs in couples, but with some diffi- culty and occasional snarling, but without absolutely coming to a standstill or throttling each other. Ch. v. Ch. v, vi, vii, viii, xiii, xvii, xviii, xxi, xxiii, xxiv, xli., xlii, xlv. Wardour, Isabella. Sir Arthur Wardour's beautiful and devoted daughter. “The tall and beautiful figure" of Miss Wardour was generally seen at the side of the old knight. When her father and Mr. Oldbuck engaged in angry disputes she acted as mediator, and with delicate tact pacified them. Mr. Oldbuck called her his “fair enemy,” because she always sided with her father. Her lover, Lovel, was supposed to be illegitimate, and Isabella, knowing her father's prejudices on this subject, discouraged his addresses. She said to him: “It is for yourself I plead — that you would consider the calls which your country has upon your talents — that you will mot waste, in an idle and fanciful indulgence of an ill-placed predilection, time which, well redeemed by active ex- ertion, should lay the foundation of future distinction.” Ch. xiii. Lovel is instrumental in saving the lives of herself and father, and Isabella's heart became rebellious. Fortunately, Lovel is found to be the Earl of Glenallan's son, and Isabella is soon made the happy Lady Geraldim. * Ch. v, vi, vii, viii, xii, xiii, xvii, xviii, xix., xxii, xli., xlii, xlv.

Ch. iii. Ch. iii, viii, X. Ellieslaw, Laird of. See RICHARD VERE. Elshender, the Recluse. The Black Dwarf. He was suspected of being in league with Satan. His own name was Sir Edward Mauley, and he was Isabella Vere's near but unknown kinsman. He was cultivated, wealthy and naturally noble. He had been betrayed in love and friendship, and he bitterly concluded that his deformity had dissevered him from humanity. In his youth he had been devoted to Vere, and taking his part in a quarrel, killed Earns- cliff's father. His morbid nature suffered from paroxysms of re- morse, and before the expiration of his year's imprisonment for manslaughter, Mr. Were and his betrothed were married. After a temporary retreat to an insane asylum, he became a hermit upon THE BLACK DWAIR.F. 51 Mucklestane Moor. He allowed himself only the barest necessities. He was taciturn of speech and misanthropical in his language, and with his knowledge of drugs and command of gold, performed many kind acts, and had a powerful influence in the neighborhood. He had herculean strength, and was regarded by his neighbors with timid and superstitious veneration. His popular epithet was Canny Elshie, or the Wight of Mucklestane Moor. His head was of uncommon size, covered with a fell of shaggy hair, partly grizzled with age; his eyebrows, shaggy and prominent, overhung a pair of Small, dark, piercing eyes, set far back in their sockets, that rolled with a por- tentous insanity. The rest of his features were cf the coarse, rough-hewn stamp, with which a painter would equip a giant in romance; to which was added the wild, irregular and peculiar expression so often seen in the counte- nances of those whose persons are deformed. His body, thick and square, like that of a man of middle size, was mounted upon two large feet; but nature seemed to have forgotten the legs and the thighs, or they were so very short as to be hidden by the dress which he wore. His arms were long and brawny, fur- nished with two muscular hands, . . . shagged with coarse, black hair. It seemed as if nature had originally intended the separate parts of his body to be the members of a giant, but had afterwards capriciously assigned them to the person of a dwarf, so ill did the length of his arms and the iron strength of his frame correspond with the shortness of his stature. His clothing was a sort of coarse brown tunic, like a monk’s frock, girt around him with a belt of sealskin. On his head he had a cap made of badger's skin, or some other rough fur, which added considerable to the grotesque effect of his whole appearance and over- shadowed features, whose habitual expression seemed that of sullen misan- thropy. Ch. iv. He saved Isabella Were from being sacrificed to Sir Frederick Langley, and, upon her marriage with Earnscliff, settled a hand- some fortune on them. He disappeared from Mucklestane Moor, and the time of his death or place of his burial was never known. Many believed . . . that he only disappeared for a season, and continues to be seen from time to time among the hills. And retaining, according to custom, a more vivid recollection of his wild and desperate language, than of the benevo- lent tendency of most of his actions, he is usually identified with the malignant demon called the Man of the Moors, . . . and . . . is generally represented as bewitching sheep, causing the eves to keb, that is, to cast their lambs, or seen loosening the impending wreath of snow to precipitate its weight on such as take shelter, during the storm, beneath the bank of a torrent, or under the shelter of a deep glen. In short, the evils most dreaded and deprecated by the inhabitants of that pastoral country are ascribed to the agency of the Black Dwarf. Ch. xviii.

Weary of delays, and knowing her repug- nance, he threatened to betray the conspirators unless an imme- diate marriage should take place.

In both cases, he had gratified the predominant passion, without respcct to the diminution of his private fortune; although, where such inducements were wanting, he was deemed close, avari- cious and grasping. Ch. xi. He was haughty, selfish and dissimulating. After cruelly wrong- ing his friend, Sir Edward Mauley, he lived upon his bounty. He engaged in Jacobite intrigues, and was willing to sacrifice his daughter's happiness to his political aspirations. He left Scotland after the exposure of his schemes. Mr. Vere, supplied by his daughter with an ample income, continued to reside abroad, engaged deeply in the affair of Law's bank during the regency of the Duke of Orleans; and was at one time supposed to be immensely rich; but, on the bursting of that famous bubble, he was so much chagrined at being again reduced to a moderate annuity . . . that vexation of mind brought on a para- lytic stroke, of which he died after lingering under its effects a few weeks.

He was tall, thin and muscular. His face, sharp-featured, sun-burnt and freckled, had a sinister expression of violence, impudence and cunning, each of which seemed to predominate over the others. Sandy-coloured hair, and reddish eyebrows, from under which looked forth his sharp grey eyes, completed the unauspicious outline of the horseman's physiognomy. He had pistols in his hostlers, and another peeped from his belt. . . . He wore a rusted steel head-piece; a buff jacket of rather an antique cast; gloves of which that for the right hand was covered with small Scales of iron, like an ancient gauntlet; and a long broadsword completed his equipage.

OLT) MORTALITY.” A ROMANCE, “Why seeks he with unwearied toil Through death's dim walks to urge his way, Reclaim his long-asserted spoil And lead oblivion into day?” LANGHORNE. A. R. G. U M E N T. Robº PATERSON was a real personage, and received the name of Old Mortality from having devoted his life to the renovation of the gravestones of the martyrs of the Covenant. His old white pony fed among the tombs while his master was engaged in his labors. Old Mortality was dressed plainly as a peasant, and was frugal in all his habits. He ceased to provide for his family and repaid the hospitality of the Presbyterians by repairing their family monuments. He was cheerful and inoffensive in his enthusiasm and died in his eighty-sixth year. About the beginning of this century he closed his mortal toils, being found on the highway near Lockerby, in Dumfriesshire, exhausted and just expiring. The old white pony, the companion of all his wanderings, was standing by the side of his dying master. There was found about his person a sum of money sufficient for his decent interment, which seems to show that his death was in no way hastened by violence or want. Int. (1829), ch. i. Mr. Pattieson* became interested in Old Mortality and his narratives of the Whig saints. The romance which resulted from their acquaint- ance he called “Old Mortality.” It relates to the Covenanters' insur- rection during Charles the Second's reign. Allan, Major.

Lady Margaret Bellenden's granddaughter, and the heiress of Tillietudlem. - - Her black Spanish jennet, which she managed with much grace, her gay riding-dress and laced side-saddle, had been anxiously prepared to set her forth to the best advantage. But the clustering profusion of ringlets, which, escaping from under her cap, were only confined by a green ribbon from wantoning over her shoulders, her cast of features, soft and femininc, yet not without a certain expression of playful archness, which redeemed their sweetness from the charge of insipidity sometimes brought against blondes and blue-eyed beauties, these attracted more admiration from the western youth than the splendour of her equipments or the figure of her palfrey. Ch. ii. Edith's manners were both bewitching and stately. She was indifferent to the homage her beauty commanded, for she had met and learned to love the Whig rebel, Henry Morton. “If he had been unfortunate,” she said, “I never would have deserted him. . . . If he had died, I would have mourned him, if he had been unfaithful, I would have forgiven him; but a rebel to his king—a traitor to his country — the associate and colleague of cut-throats and common stabbers—the persecutor of all that is noble — the professed and blasphemous enemy of all that is sacred,—I will tear him from my heart if my life-blood should ebb in the effort!” Ch. xxiv. This she found impossible to achieve. Crowding misfortunes came upon herself and grandmother, and they found a noble pro- tector in her faithful lover, Lord Evandale. Well authenticated reports of Morton's death-reached Edith, and she at length promised to marry Evandale, but she confessed the all-absorbing nature of Morton's memory, and indefinitely postponed the ceremony. Mor- ton appeared at the window, and she thought she saw his rebuking ghost. Evandale ceased from further importunities. After a season of mourning for Evandale's untimely death, Edith Bellenden and Henry Morton were wedded. Ch. ii, iii, x, xi, xiii, xix, XX, XXīv, xxviii, xxix., xxxvii, xxxviii, xliv. See LADY MARGARET BELLENDEN; LORD EVANDALE; HENRY MORTON. Bellenden, Lady Margaret. Life rentrix of the barony of Tillie- tudlem. She was zealous for the Stuarts and Protestant Episcopacy, and very prejudiced against those of opposite views. Lady Marga- ret was especially jealous of her seignorial rights. The erect and primitive form of Lady Margaret, . . . decked in those widow’s weeds which the good lady had never laid aside since the execution of her hus- band for his adherence to Montrose. . . . She had lost her husband and two promising sons in the civil wars of that unhappy period, but she had received . her reward, for, on his route through the west of Scotland to meet Cromwell in the unfortunate field of Worcester, Charles the Second had actually breakfasted at the Tower of Tillietudlem,- an incident which formed, from that moment, an important era in the life of Lady Margaret, who seldom afterwards partook of OLD MORTALITY. 57 that meal, either at home or abroad, without detailing the whole circumstances of the royal visit, not forgetting the salutation which His Majesty conferred on each side of her face, though she sometimes omitted to notice that he bestowed the same favour on two buxom serving-wenches. . . . These instances of royal favor were decisive, and if Lady Margaret had not been a confirmed royalist already, from sense of high birth, influence of education, and hatred to the oppo- site party, through whom she had suffered such domestic calamity, the having given a breakfast to Majesty, and received the royal salute in return, were hon- ours enough of themselves to unite her exclusively to the fortunes of the Stuarts. These were now, in all appearances, triumphant; but Lady Margaret’s zeal had adhered to them through the worst of times, and was ready to sustain the same severities of fortune should their scale once more kick the beam. Ch. ii. Tillietudlem was besieged by the Whig insurgents, and after a brave defense was forced by famine to surrender. After the siege a document was purloined which had given Lady Margaret possession of the barony. Her kinsman, Olifant, usurped her rights, and she became a recipient of the charity of others. But Tillietudlem was at length restored to Lady Margaret, as the heir of her unworthy cousin, Basil Olifant, who died without a will. Ch. ii., iii, vii, ix, xi, xii, xiii, xix., xx, xxiv, xxv, xxviii, XXIX, xxxvii, xliv, con. Bellenden, Miles, Major. Major Bellenden was a frank and kind- hearted veteran of Montrose's campaigns. At his residence (Charn- wood) Morton and Edith Bellenden met often, and it grieved the old Major that his young friend should be a Whig rebel. The Major bravely and skillfully defended Tillietudlem against the insur- gents as long as possible. He was the devoted protector of Lady Margaret Bellendem and his niece, Edith. His old age was made sad by the troubles of his kinswomen, the putting away of the Stu- art line and the financial embarrassments which his generosity had brought upon him, and which resulted in his being deprived of his estate in his last days.

The character of the new landlord, indeed, was of that accommodating kind which enabled him, by close attention to the helm, to keep his little vessel pretty steady amid the contending tides of faction. . . . He was a good-humoured, shrewd, selfish sort of fellow, indifferent alike to the disputes about church and 58 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. state, and only anxious to secure the good-will of customers of every description. Ch. iv. Ch. iv, xx, xli, con. Bothwell, Sergeant. Francis Stuart, an illegitimate descendant of James VI of Scotland, and a non-commissioned officer in the Life Guards. Great personal strength and dexterity in the use of his arms, as well as the remarkable circumstances of his descent, had recommended this man to the at- tention of his officers. But he partook, in a great degree, of the licentiousness and oppressive disposition which the habit of acting as agent for government in levying fines, exacting free quarters, and otherwise oppressing the Presbyterian recusants, had rendered too general among these soldiers. Ch. iv. Lady Margaret Bellenden was much interested in Bothwell. Sergeant Bothwell saluted the grave and reverend lady of the manor with an assurance which had something of the light and careless address of the dissi- pated men of fashion in Charles the Second’s time, and did not at all savour of the awkward or rude manners of a non-commissioned officer of dragoons. His language, as well as his manners, seemed also to be refined, for the time and oc- casion; though the truth was, that, in the fluctuation of an adventurous and profligate life, Bothwell had sometimes kept company much better suited to his ancestry than to his present situation of life. . . . Bothwell had long ceased to be very scrupulous in point of society, which he regulated more by his conveni- ence and station in life than by his ancestry. Ch. ix. Bothwell was haughty and impatient of discipline, and very ar- bitrary in his relations with the rebels. He had A tall, powerful poison, and a set of hardy, weather-beaten features, to which pride and dissipation had given an air, where discontent mingled with the reck- less gayety of desperation. Ch. x. • He was killed at Drumclog by Burley. He died with the words “fearing nothing ” on his lips. His pocket-book came into Mor- ton's possession. Among its contents were found papers substanti- ating the genealogy and forfeited possessions of the Earls of Both- well; together with these were a number of faded love letters in a feminine hand, and some verses of Bothwell, ending with the lines: “Yes, God and man might now approve me, - If thou hadst lived, and lived to love me!” Morton could not forbear reflecting with compassion on the fate of this singul- lar and most unhappy being, who, it appeared, while in the lowest state of de- gradation, and almost contempt, had his recollections continually fixed on the high station to which his birth seemed to entitle him; and, while plunged in gross licentiousness, was, in secret, looking back with bitter remorse to the pe- riod of his youth during which he had nourished a virtuous, though unfortunate, attachment. Ch. xxiii. Ch. iv, viii., ix, x, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xxiii. Burley, John. Leader of the insurgent Covenanters, and murderer of Archbishop Sharp. He was a crafty, stern and malignant fanatic, OLD MORTALITY. 59 and was swayed as much by ambition and revenge as religious zeal.

He had an aquiline nose, red hair and a muscular frame. - * His features, austere even to ferocity, with a cast of the eye which, without being actually oblique, approached nearly to a squint, . . . gave a very Sinister expression to his countenance. Ch. iv. After his defeat at Bothwell Bridge he fled to Holland, but re- turned to Scotland, and was killed in a struggle with a dragoon who attempted his arrest. Scott, in a note on Old Mortality, says: “The return of John Balfour of Kinlock, called Burley, to Scotland, as well as his violent death in the manner described, is . . . fictitious. . . . He . . . es- caped to Holland, where he found refuge, with other fugitives of that disturbed period.” Ch. iv., v, vi, xvi, xvii, xviii, xxi., xxii, xxiii, xxv, xxvii, xxx, xxxi, xxxii, xxxvi, xxxvii, xliii, xliv. Buskbody, Martha. A millimer, to whom Mr. Patterson relates the Conclusion. Con. See ARGUMENT. - Claverhouse, James Grahame of. Colonel of the Royal Life Guards, and member of the Privy Council of Scotland. The perse- cuted Presbyterians believed he bore a charmed life and fired at him with silver bullets. Grahame of Claverhouse was in the prime of life, rather low of stature, and slightly though elegantly formed; his gestures, language and manners were those of one whose life had begn spent among the noble and the gay. His feat- ures exhibited even feminine regularity. An oval face, a straight and well- formed nose, dark hazel eyes, a complexion just sufficiently tinged with brown to save it from the charge of effeminacy, a short upper lip, curved upward like that of a Grecian statue, and slightly shaded by small mustachios of light- brown, joined to a profusion of long curled locks of the same colour, which fell down on each side of his face, contributed to form such a countenance as lim- ners love to paint and ladies to look upon. The severity of his character, as well as the higher attributes of undaunted and enterprising valour which even his en- emies were compelled to admit lay concealed under an exterior which seemed adapted to the court or the saloon rather than the field. The same gentleness and gayety of expression which reigned in his features seemed to inspire his ac- tions and gestures; and, on the whole, he was generally esteemed, at first sight, rather qualified to be the votary of pleasure than of ambition. But under this soft exterior was hidden a spirit unbounded in daring and in aspiring, yet cau- tious and prudent as that of Machiavel himself. Profound in politics, and im- bued, of course, with that disregard of individual rights which its intrigues usu- ally generate, this leader was cool and collected in danger, fierce and ardent in pursuing success, careless of facing death himself, and ruthless in inflicting it upon others. Ch. xii. He did not allow his private affections to interfere with his public 60 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. duty, and he bore his own afflictions with silent fortitude. He had enthusiastic respect for martial courage and generous honor, to- gether with an aristocratic contempt for the people. Under an aspect of imperturbable civility, he could be terribly sarcastic. After the Revolution, as the Wiscount Dundee, he headed a Jacobite insur-. rection, and fell at the victorious battle of Killiecrankie, in the High- lands. His death was in accordance with his wishes, for he had said: “It is not the expiring pang that is worth thinking of in an event that must happen one day, and may befall us on any given moment — it is the memory the soldier leaves behind him, like the long train of light that follows the sunken sun. . . . which distinguishes the death of the brave or the ignoble. When I think of death . . . as a thing worth thinking of, it is in the hope of pressing one day some well-fought and hard-won field of battle, and dying with the shout of victory in my ear—that would be worth dying for, and more, it would be worth having lived for ' ' Ch. xxxiv. Ch. xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, XX, xxvi, xxix, XXX, XXXii, xxxiii, xxxiv, xxxvi, xxxvii. Dalzell, Thomas, General. Member of the Privy Council of Scot- land, and Monmouth's Lieutenant-General. General Thomas Dalzell, who, having practised the art of war in the then bar- barous country of Russia, was as much feared for his cruelty and indifference to human life and human sufferings, as respected for his steady loyalty and un- daunted valour. Ch. xxix. His dress was of the antique fashion of Charles the First's time, and com- posed of shamoy leather, curiously slashed, and covered with antique lace and garniture. His boots and spurs might be referred to the same distant period. He wore a breastplate, over which descended a grey beard of venerable length, which he cherished as a mark of mourning for Charles the First, having never shaved since that monarch was brought to the scaffold. His head was uncov- ered, and almost perfectly bald. His high and wrinkled forehead, piercing grey eyes, and marked features, evinced age unbroken by infirmity, and stern resolu- tion unsoftened by humanity. Such is the outline, however feebly expressed, of the celebrated General Thomas Dalzell, a man more feared and hated by the Whigs than even Claverhouse himself, and who executed the same violences against them out of detestation of their persons, or perhaps an innate severity of temper, which Grahame only resorted to on political accounts, as the best means of intimidating the followers of presbytery, and of destroying that sect entirely.

Evandale was a devoted protector of Edith and her grandmother, but sadly realized that her grateful friendship would never blossom into love. At the commencement of the Revolution he left the Guards, but he did not live to fulfill his intention of taking the field for James II. His unflinching integrity to duty and principle had made him enemies, and he was mortally wounded in a dastardly assault. The dying Evandale joined the hands of Edith and Morton.

He drifted into the Presbyte- rian army as Morton's servant; but as he was not ambitious of martyrdom, he was readily pardoned.

He thus reflected: “I hae aye had some carline or quean or another, to gar me gang their gate instead o' my ain. There was first my mither, . . . then there was Leddy Mar- garet didna let me ca' my soul my ain; then my mither and her quarrelled, and pu"ed me twa ways at anes, as if ilk ane had an end o' me, like Punch and the Deevil rugging about the Baker at the fair; and now I hae gotten a wife, . . . and she's like to tak the guiding o' me a” thegither.” Ch. xxxviii. Cuddie, in an affray, killed Lady Margaret's usurping relative, Basil Olifant. But with the shrewd caution of his character, he was never heard to boast of having fired the lucky shot which repossessed his lady and himself in their original habitations. . . . He . . . ingeniously enough countenanced a report that old Gudyill had done the deed, which was worth many a gill of brandy to him from the old butler, who, far different in disposition from Cuddie, was much more inclined to exaggerate than suppress his exploits of manhood.

Cuddie Headrigg's Presbyterian mother, who was considered a “precious woman" by those of her famaticism. She was distracted between a desire to make Cuddie a Whig Saint and her maternal solicitude for his bodily safety. She was so Zeal- ous in giving her testimony for the Covenant that herself and son were dismissed from Lady Margaret's service, and they were both placed under arrest. Her language to the dragoons was most viru- lent and vituperative. Mause saw the Whig victory at Drumclog, and thus rejoiced at the flight of the Life Guards: “They flee they flee!” exclaimed Mause, in ecstasy. “Oh, the truculent tyrants! they are riding now as they never rode before. Oh, the false Egyptians— the proud Assyrians — the Philistines — the Moabites — the Edomites — the Ish- maelites | The Lord has brought sharp swords upon them, to make them food for the fowls of heaven and beasts of the field. See how the clouds roll, and the fire flashes ahimt them, and goes forth before the chosen of the Covenant, e”en like the pillar o' flame that led the people of Israel out o' the land of Egypt.

See EvanDALE. - Eettledrummle, Gabriel, Rev. A. Cameronian minister and member of the insurgents' council. He was a quarrelsome and contumacious thunderer in the pulpit, but beheld with terror an actual battle. For two hours he addressed the Covenanters after their victory at Drumclog. He professed in perfection a sort of rude and familiar eloquence peculiar to the preachers of that period, which, though it would have been fastidiously rejected by an audience which possessed any portion of taste, was a cake of the right leaven for the palates of those whom he now addressed. . . . The rever- ent Gabriel was advanced in years, somewhat corpulent, with a loud voice, a square face, and a set of stupid and inanimate features, in which the body seemed more to predominate over the spirit than was seemly in a sound divine.

A fanatical member of the insur- gents' council, who was only prevented from murdering the conser- vative Morton by an arrest for treason. He refused to give the Privy Council information concerning Burley's whereabouts, and endured torture and death with heroic fortitude. He was grateful for the opportunity of suffering and testifying for his faith. His appearance and address to the insurgents after their victory at Drumclog is thus described: Ephraim Macbriar . . . was hardly twenty years old; yet his thin features already indicated that a constitution, naturally hectic, was worn out by vigils, by fasts, by the rigour of imprisonment, and the fatigues incident to a fugitive life. Young as he was, he had been twice imprisoned for several months, and suffered many severities, which gave him great influence with those of his own sect. He threw his faded eyes over the multitude and over the scene of battle; and a light of triumph arose in his glance. . . . When he spoke, his faint and broken voice seemed at first inadequate to express his conceptions. But the deep silence of the assembly, the eagerness with which the ear gathered every word. as the famished Israelites collected the heavenly manna, had a corresponding effect upon the preacher himself. His words became more distinct, his manner more earnest and emergetic; it seemed as if religious zeal was triumphing over bodily weakness and infirmity. His natural eloquence was not altogether un- tainted with the coarseness of his sect; and yet by the influence of a good natural taste, it was freed from the grosser and more ludicrous errors of his contemporaries; and the language of Scripture, which, in their mouths, was sometimes degraded by misapplication, gave in Macbriar's exhortation a rich and solemn effect, like that which is produced by the beams of the sun stream- ing through the storied representations of Saints and martyrs on the Gothic window of some ancient cathedral. He painted the desolation of the church, dur- ing the late period of her distresses, in the most affecting colours. He described her, like Hagar watching the waning of her infant amid the fountainless desert. . . But he chiefly rCŞe into rough sublimity when addressing the men yet reeking from battle. He called on them to remember the great things which God had done for them, and to persevere in the career which their victory had opened. . . . The wounded forgot their pain, the faint and hungry their fatigues and privations, as they listened to doctrines which elevated them alike above the wants and calamities of the world, and identified their cause with that of the Deity.

Notwis standing her religious prejudices, she nursed the wounded Evandale, and was his devoted friend, although she was denounced by those of her faith. Her old age was made comfortable by kind and protecting friends. Ch. iv., xxiv, xli., xlii, xliii. See EVANDALE. Milnwood, Laird of. Ralph Morton, Henry Morton's miserly uncle. The old gentleman had been remarkably tall in his earlier days, an advantage which he now lost by stooping to such a degree that, at a meeting, where there was some dispute concerning the sort of arch which should be thrown over a considerable brook, a facetious neighbour proposed to offer Milnwood a handsome sum for his curved backbone, alleging that he would sell anything that belonged to him. Spley-feet of unusual size, long thin hands, garnished with nails which seldom felt the steel, a wrinkled and puckered visage, the length of which cor- responded with that of his person, together with a pair of little bargain-making grey eyes, that seemed eternally looking out for their advantage, completed the highly umpromising exterior of Mr. Morton of Milnwood. As it would have been very injudicious to have lodged a liberal or benevolent disposition in such an unworthy cabinet, nature had suited his person with a mind exactly in con- formity with it, — that is to say, mean, selfish and covetous. Ch. vi. Ch. vi., viii, xxxix. Monmouth, Duke of. Commander of the army of Scotland, and matural son of Charles II and the Duchess of Portsmouth. He was gentle in disposition, as well as brave and skillful in battle. He gained a decisive victory over the Covenanters at Bothwell Bridge. It was impossible for any one to look upon the Duke of Monmouth without being captivated by his personal graces and accomplishments. . . . Yet to a strict observor, the manly beauty of Monmouth's face was occasionally rendered less striking by an air of vacillation and uncertainty which seemed to imply + Ch. xxvi, XXX, XXXii. g Morton, Henry. Nephew of the Laird of Milnwood. His life was made unhappy by the penuriousness of his uncle and the uncertain- ties of the success of his suit for Edith Bellenden, who was his superior in birth and fortune. He had for a rival the gallant, wealthy and ac- complished Lord Evandale. He improved his limited opportunities of education to the uttermost, and was very skillful in the use of arms. Burley, the murderer of Archbishop Sharp, had been a friend to Morton's father, and, ignorant of his crime, Morton sheltered him, 3% 66 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. and was sentenced by Claverhouse to death. Edith begge dale to intercede for him, which he did effectually, though bearing was most defiant. Claverhouse said: “This is a lad of fire, zeal, and education — and these knaves war's but such a leader to direct their blind enthusiastic hardiness. . . . You º ... he is tottering on the very verge between time and eternity, a situajºn more ap- palling than the most hideous certainty; yet his is the only cheek unblenched, the only eye that is calm, the only heart that keeps its usual time, the only nerves that are not quivering.” Ch. xiii. .." Thus Morton unexpectedly found himself identiſed with the Cove- manters and opposed to those dearest to him, but honor and a desire for religious freedom left him no alternativé. He was horrified at the cruel famaticism of the insurgents, and as a member of their council excited a restraining influence. Upon two occasions he saved Evandale's life, much to the displeasure of his confederates. He fought bravely for his faith, and worked diligently for an honor- able peace. He achieved the respect of his foes, but narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Covenanters. He was taken as a prisoner before the Privy Council of Scotland, and, through the mediation of Evandale and Claverhouse, his sentence was limited to exile. He rose rapidly in the service of the Prince of Orange, and attained to the rank of major-general, and, after the Revolution, returned to his native land under the name of Melville. He secretly learned that Edith, believing him no more, had engaged herself to Lord Evandale, although her affections were irretrievably settled on Morton. He generously resolved not to interfere with Evandale's happiness. Realizing that Evandale was in precarious danger, Morton hastened to his assistance, but arrived only in time to see him die, and he again saw Edith Bellenden. Unconscious . . . of the presence of Morton, she hung over the dying man; nor was she aware that fate, who was removing one faithful lover, had restored another, as iſ from the grave, until Lord Evandale, taking their hands in his, pressed them both affectionately, united them together, raised his face as if to pray for a blessing on them, and sank back and expired in the next moment.

Morton's efforts for peace were received by Muckle- wrath with malignant hatred, and he was foremost among those who determined upon Morton's death. The rags of a dress which had once been black. added to the tattered frag- ments of a shepherd's plaid, composed a covering scarce fit for the purposes of decency, much less for those of warmth or comfort. A long beard, as white as Snow, hung down on his breast, and mingled with bushy, uncombed, grizzled hair, which hung in eld locks around his wild and staring visage. The features seemed to be extenuated by penury and famine, until they hardly retained the likeness of a human aspect. The eyes, gray, wild and wandering, evidently betokened a bewildered imagination. He held in his hand a rusty sword, clotted with blood, as were his long lean hands, which were garnished at the extremity with nails like eagles’ claws. . . . Mucklewrath . . . cried in a voice that made the very beams of the roof quiver, “Slay, slay, . . . slay utterly, . . . old and young, the maiden, the child, and the woman whose head is grey.” Ch. xxii. Morton was sentenced to be murdered when the twelfth hour should announce that the Sabbath was over. The famatics feared that the enemy might overtake them before their vengeance could be accomplished: “I take up my song against him : " exclaimed the maniac. “As the sun went back on the dial ten degrees for intimating the recovery of holy Hezekiah, so shall it now go forward. that the wicked may be taken away from among the people and the Covenant established in its purity.” Ch. xxxiii. The arrival of the Life Guards prevented the crime, and Muckle- wrath was mortally wounded in an affray that followed. He died foretelling Claverhouse's violent death and the downfall of the Stu- arts. His last words were a frantic appeal to the Lord to avenge the blood of his saints. Ch. xxii, xxxi, xxxiii, xxxiv.

Ch. v. Kettledrummle and Poundtext engaged in a bitter dogmatic dis- pute, and it was finally arranged that these zealots should preach at different times a day, and they were forbidden to distract and divide the camp with their controversies: But, although Kettledrummle and Poundtext were thus for a time silenced, they continued to eye each other like two dogs, who, having been separated by the authority of their masters while fighting, have retreated, each beneath the chair of his owner, still watching each other’s motions, and indicating, by occa- sional growls, by erected bristles of the.back and ears, and by the red glance of the eye, that their discord is unappeased, and that they only wait the first oppor- tunity afforded by any general movement or commotion in the company to fly once more at each other's throats.

THE HEART OF MIDILOTHIAN.” A ROMANCE. A. R. G. U M E N T. HE breaking down of a coach brought as guests to Wallace Inn two young and gay Edinburgh lawyers, Halkit and Hardie, and Mr. Dunover, a blameless but unfortunate gentleman, who had suf- fered imprisonment for debt. Mr. Pattieson and the travelers con- versed about the traditions of the Edinburgh Tolbooth, which was called The Heart of Midlothian. After that evening's talk Mr. Pattieson wrote a romance entitled, “The Heart of Midlothian.” The story is laid at the time of the Porteous Riot in Edinburgh, during George the Second's reign, and relates to the heroism of Jeanie Deans, who had a real prototype in the person of Helen Walker. w This tale will not be told in vain, if it shall be found to illustrate the great truth that guilt, though it may attain temporal splendour, can never confer real happiness; that the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commis- sion, and, like the ghosts of the murdered. forever haunt the steps of the male- factor; and that the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.

So this honorable statesman and able general was never a favorite at court. Queen Caroline had taken care not to break entirely with the Duke of Argyle. His high birth, his great talents, the estimation in which he was held in his own country, the great services which he had rendered the house of Brunswick in 1715, placed him high in that rank of persons who were not to be rashly neglected.

He studied at the University of St. Andrews for the Presbyterian min- istry, and received his license after much labor and many priva- tions. As he had no preferment, he became an assistant teacher in a parochial school, and the engagement between Jeanie Deams and himself was indefinitely postponed for prudential reasons. Butler was forced, by the rioters, to officiate as a clergyman to the doomed Porteous, and he was accordingly compelled to suffer a brief but humiliating imprisonment. Argyle, considering himself under obli- gations to the Butler family, placed Reuben in the kirk of Knock- tarlitie, and Butler and Jeanie Deans were happily and prosperously married. He was somewhat pedantic and vain of his learning, and became prominent in the church. He was a plain character, in which worth and good sense and simplicity were the principal ingredients.

With all the winning address of an elegant, and, according to the times, an accomplished woman, Queen Caroline possessed the masculine Soul of the other sex.

He was shrewd in money matters, and had a deep religious fervor and rigid morality, together with the peculiarities, severities and prejudices of the Scotch Covenanters. Deans was umlettered, but intractable in religious disputes, and, delighting in expounding what he considered the truth, he was jealous of contradiction. Deans was an undemonstrative but fond husband and father. Upon his wife's death and his daughter's ruin, he displayed A remarkable struggle betwixt the force of natural affection and the religious stoicism which the sufferer thought it was incumbent upon him to maintain under each earthly dispensation, whether of weal or woe.

The Lily of St. Leonard's; daughter of David and Rebecca Deans, and half sister of Jeanie. Effie was early motherless, and became willful under the indulgence of father and sister. She was exquisitely beautiful, with her slender form, brown ringlets and Grecian-shaped head. Effie became a shop- woman in a store of a relative, and was seduced by Staunton, under THE HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN. 75 promise of marriage. When she recovered from her confinement, she found her child missing, and after vain inquiries, she returned to her father's house in an alarming condition of health, and the victim of despair. Effie was tried for child murder, and refused to name her lover or make any confession that would lead to the apprehension of Staunton, who was then hiding from the law. No clew to the child's whereabouts could be found, and Effie was found guilty, but recommended to the mercy of the crown. Before the day appointed for her execution, she was pardoned, through her sister's efforts, but banished from Scotland for fourteen years. Effie fled from her censorious father, and Staunton married her. He educated her abroad, and she went to court as Lady Staunton. She was flattered by the attention she received, and sustained her part with great self-possession, but she was haunted by the dread of dis- covery, the misery she had brought upon her father and sister, the uncertain fate of her offspring, and the memory of the death she had so narrowly escaped. The Duke of Argyle said of her: “She has been the ruling belle, the blazing star, the universal toast of the winter, . . . and is really the most beautiful creature that was seen at court upon the birthday. . . . Amidst her noble and elegant manners, there is now and then a little touch of bashfulness and conventual rusticity, if I may call it so, that makes her quite enchanting.” Ch. xlviii. She was generous to her sister's family, and after a long separa- tion, visited her as Lady Staunton. The lady was rather above the middle size, beautifully made, though some- thing embonpoint, with a hand and arm exquisitely formed. Her manner was easy, dignified and commanding, and seemed to evince high birth and the habits of elevated Society. . . . Jeanie . . . was lost in amazement at the wonderful difference betwixt the helpless and despairing girl, whom she had seen stretched on a flock-bed in a dungeon, expecting a violent and disgraceful death, and last as a forlorn exile upon the midnight beach, with the elegant, well-bred, beautiful woman before her. The features . . . did not appear so extremely different as the whole manner, expression, look and bearing. In outside show, Lady Staun- ton seemed completely a creature too soft and fair for Sorrow to have touched; and so much accustomed to have all her whims complied with by those around her, that she seemed to expect she should even be saved the trouble of forming them; and so totally unacquainted with contradiction, that she did not even use the tone of self-will, since to breathe a wish was to have it fulfilled. Ch. 1. Effie remained with her sister during a period of excessive grief for her husband, who was killed by their illegitimate child. Effie . . . was never formed for a quiet, low content; . . . she required the dissipation of society to divert her sorrow. . . . After blazing nearly ten years in the fashionable world, and hiding, like many of her compeers, an aching heart with a gay demeanour, after declining repeated offers of a most respectable kind for a second matrimonial engagement, Lady Staunton betrayed the inward 76 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. wound, by retiring to the Continent and taking up her abode in the convent where she had received her education. She never took the veil, but lived and died in severe seclusion, and in the practice of the Roman Catholic religión, in all its formal observances, vigils and austerities. Ch. lii.

David Deans' daughter. She is a perfect model of sober heroism; of the union of good sense with strong affections, firm principles, and perfect disinterestedness; and of calm supe- riority to misfortune, danger and difficulty, which such a union must create.— Senior. Deans was a cow-feeder, and Jeanie was his thrifty assistant, and delighted in the Superintendence of the dairy. Jeanie was a con- sistent, but not famatical, Presbyterian, and was fervidly devotional and searchingly conscientious. Douce Davie Deans . . . so schooled and trained . . . her, that from the time she could walk, upwards, she was daily employed in some task or other suitable to her age and capacity; a circumstance which, added to her father’s daily in- structions and lectures, tended to give her mind, even when a child, a grave, serious, firm and reflecting cast. An uncommonly strong and healthy tempera- ment, free from all nervous affection and every other irregularity which, attack- ing the body in its more noble functions, so often influences the mind, tended greatly to establish this fortitude, simplicity and decision of character. . . . She was short, and rather too stoutly made for her size, had grey eyes, light-coloured hair, a round, good-humoured face, much tanned with the Sun, and her only pe- culiar charm was an air of inexpressible serenity, which a good conscience, kind feelings, contented temper, and the regular discharge of all her duties, spread over her features. Ch. ix. The interest of the story is concentrated upon The affectionate exertions which Jeanie had made in behalf of a sister, for whose sake she was willing to sacrifice all but truth and conscience. Ch. xxxvii. Her young sister, Effie Deans, was under arrest for child-murder, and Jeanie knew that she could save her life by testifying that Effie had made her the confidant of her pregnancy. She would not per- jure herself, so Effie was sentenced to be hanged, but recommended to royal clemency. Ignorant of the difficulties before her, Jeanie started for London to beg her sister's pardon of the King and Queen. She made most of her pilgrimage afoot, and after a perilous and anxious journey reached London. She interested John Duke of Argyle in her petition, and he procured her an audience with Queen Caroline. The Queen was moved by her sisterly love and uncon- scious eloquence, and pardoned Effie. Argyle sent her safely home, and was henceforth her protecting friend. Between Jeanie Deans and Rev. Reuben Butler there had existed a long, calm and devoted THE HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN. 77 love, and after Butler received his tardy preferment they were mar- ried. Happy in each other, in the prosperity of their family, and the love and honour of all who knew them, this simple pair lived beloved and died lamented. Ch. lii.

In his frequent struggles between inherited avarice and his kindlier impulses, his better na- ture generally triumphed. The bashful Dumbiedikes at length proposed to Jeanie, and enumerated to her all his worldly effects. Notwithstanding his long courtship and the surprise to his apathetic nature of Jeanie Deans' rejection, he consoled himself with a speedy marriage.

She was cruel to Effie Deans, who was con- fined at her hut, and gave her to understand that her infant was dead. She feared Staunton would marry Effie instead of her daugh- ter, who had suffered the same wrong, so she waylaid and detained Jeanie Deans, who was journeying to London to obtain Effie's par- don for alleged child-murder.

The Queen respited him for six weeks, and it was generally believed he would be finally pardoned. The angry mob took Porteous from prison (where he had been re- joicing with his friends in expectation of a speedy reprieve) and hung him. He stubbornly endured their violence, and this auda- cious riot made the Queen and the Council of Regency very indig- nant. Ch. ii., iii, iv, vii. See GEORGE STAUNTON; ANDREW WILSON.

Ch. xvi, xvii, xviii, xix. Staunton, George. The heir of Willingham. He was dissolute and loved adventure, and led the life of a gay and bold desperado under the name of Robertson. When disowned by his family he became desperate, and was soon sentenced to death for smuggling. His imprisonment prevented his marrying Effie Deans, whom he had seduced. His companion, Wilson, assisted his escape. Staunton cut Wilson's body down from the scaffold, and was a leader of the Porteous riot to avenge that officer's treatment of Wilson, and especially to liberate Effie from the Tolbooth, where she was con- fined for child-murder. He gave Jeanie Deams permission to inform against him, if by so doing Effie could be saved. He after- ward married her and succeeded to the family estates as Sir George Staunton. After a long residence abroad he returned with his wife to England. He was haughty, reserved and remorseful, and secretly practiced the austerities of the Catholic religion. He was now as jealous of his family honor as he had been once indifferent of it, and lived in dread of being recognized as the outlaw, “Robertson.” His appearance when an outlaw is thus described: The fiery eye, the abrupt demeanour, the occasionally harsh yet studiously subdued tone of voice, the features handsome, but now clouded with pride, now disturbed by suspicion, now inflamed with passion — those dark hazel eyes, which he sometimes shaded with his cap, as iſ he were averse to having them seen while they were occupied with keenly observing the motions and bearing of others — those eyes that were now turbid with melancholy, now gleaming with scorn, and now sparkling with fury, . . . the whole partook of the mien, language and port of the ruined archangel.

By this dexterous manage- ment the Queen secured her power against the danger which might most have threatened it — the thwarting influence of an ambitious rival, . . . and was, be- sides, at liberty, now and then, to bestow a few civil insults upon “her good Howard,” whom, however, in general, she treated with great decorum. Lady Suffolk lay under strong obligations to the Duke of Argyle, . . . and through her means the Duke had some occasional correspondence with Queen Caroline. Ch. xxxvii. She was of small stature: With light brown hair and expressive blue eyes. Her features, without being absolutely regular, were, perhaps, more pleasing than if they had been critically handsome. A melancholy, or at least a pensive expression, for which her lot gave too much cause, predominated when she was silent, but gave way to a pleasing and good-humoured smile when she spoke to any one.

Amid features sunburnt, tawny, grimed with dirt and obscured by his shagg hair, of rusted black colour, Jeanie tried in vain to trace the likeness of either of his very handsome parents. Ch. lii.

That the consequence should be the total derangement of a mind which was constitutionally unsettled by giddiness and vanity was extremely natural; and such was, in fact, the history of Madge Wildfire's insanity. Ch. xxx. She was very loguacious, and her talk was lively, but disjointed. “Pilgrim's Progress '' was the favorite subject of her conversation. She shrewdly guarded whatever she wished to keep secret — especially her disposition of Effie Deans' child, her own private history and George Staunton's affairs. The potency of her sup- THE HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN. 83 posed charms was one of her idiosyncrasies. Jeanie Deans was intrusted to Madge's custody, and found it impossible to escape her vigilance. Although she knew that her baby was dead, she believed that at times she held it in her arms, and was unusually crazed and melancholy when she spoke of her “bairn.” She was danger- ous if cross-examined too closely. She generally entered a room with a hop, skip and jump, and her appearance is thus described: A tall, strapping wench of eighteen or twenty, dressed fantastically in a sort of blue riding jacket, with tarnished lace, her hair clubbed, like that of a man, a Highland bonnet and a bunch of broken feathers, a riding skirt (or petticoat) of scarlet camlet, embroidered with tarnished flowers. Her features were coarse and masculine, yet at a little distance, by dint of very bright, wild-looking black eyes, an aquiline nose and a commanding profile, appeared rather handsome. She flourished the switch she held in her hand, dropped a curtsey as low as a lady at a birthnight introduction, recovered herself seemingly according to Touchstone's directions to Audrey. Ch. xvi. She sang a number of weird ballads, such as: “In the bonny cells of Bedlam Ere I was ane and twenty, I had hempen bracelets strong And merry whips, ding-dong, And prayer and fasting plenty.” Ch. xxix. My banes are buried in yon kirkyard Sae far ayont the sea, And it is but my blithesome ghaist That's speaking now to thee.” Ch. xxix. She received her name of Madge Wildfire from the frequency of her singing the following song, which was composed for her by Staunton: “I glance like the wildfire through country and town, I am seen on the causeway — I’m seen on the down; The lightning that flashes so bright and so free, Is scarcely so blithe or so bonny as me.” Ch. xvi. Madge was much distressed at her mother's execution, and the Cumbrian peasants, believing her to be a witch, gave her so severe a ducking that she died from its effects.

Wilson knew that he had had a bameful fascina- tion over his young accomplice, and he resolved to save him. When returning from church on the Sunday previous to the ap- pointed day for their execution, Wilson overpowered the guard and enabled Staunton to escape. The populace were wild with admira- tion for Wilson. Porteous compelled him to wear cruelly small handcuffs, and such rigid measures were taken at his execution to prevent his rescue that the Porteous riot resulted. Ch. ii., iii, xxxiii.

THE BRIDE OF LAMMERMOOR." A ROMANCE. ** When the last Laird of Ravenswood to Ravenswood shall ridc, And woo a dead maidcn to be his bride, He shall stable his steed in the Kelpie's flow, And his name shall be lost forevermoe.” ARGUMENT, ICK TINT0, an unfortunate, but light-hearted, itinerant artist made a sketch of a scene in the Bride of Lammermoor's life, and relates her story to Peter Pattieson. This tragedy is laid in Scotland during William and Mary's reign. Scott, in his Introduction (1829), gives the sources from which he ob- tained the incidents, and publishes also an explanatory letter from a relative of the original, of “The Bride of Lammermoor.” A—, Marquis of. A member of the Scottish Privy Council. A wily and successful statesman, and a kinsman to Edgar Ravens- wood, in whose behalf he greatly interested himself. - A tall, well-made man, with a thoughtful and intelligent countenance, and an eye in which the fire of ambition had for some years replaced the vivacity of youth; a bold, proud expression of countenance, yet chastened by habitual cau- tion, and the desire which, as the head of a party, he necessarily entertained of acquiring popularity.

She was a severe and strict observer of the external forms, at least. of devotion; her hospi- tality was splendid even to ostentation, her address and manners . . . were grave, dignified and severely regulated by the rules of etiquette. Her character had always been beyond the breath of slander. And yet, with all these qualities to excite respect, Lady Ashton was seldom mentioned in terms of love or affec- tion. Interest,-- the interest of her family, if not her own, scenned too ob- viously the motive of her actions, . . . and hence something of doubt and sus- picion qualificd the feeling with which her equals received her attentions. With her inferiors these feelings were mingled with fear; an impression useful to her purpose, so far as it enforced ready compliance with her requests and implicit obedience to her commands. . . . Even her husband, it is said, upon whose for- tunes her talents and address had produced such emphatic influence, regarded her with respectful awe rather than confiding attachment; and report said there were times when he considered his grandeur as dearly purchased at the expense of domestic thraldom. Of this, however, much might be suspected, but little could be accurately known. . . . It seemed evident that, in the haughtiness of a firmer character, higher birth and more decided views of aggrandizement, the lady looked with some contempt on the husband, and that he regarded her with jealous fear rather than with love or admiration. Still, however, the leading and favourite interests of Sir William and his lady were the same, and they failed not to work in concert, although without cordiality, and to testify in all external cir- cumstances that respect for each other which they were aware was necessary to secure that of the public. Ch. ii. Lady Ashton was a wily politician, and a favorite of the Duchess of Marlborough. While absent at court, intriguing against Ravens- wood's kinsman, the Marquis of A–, her daughter Lucy had given her heart to Ravenswood, whose fortunes Lady Ashton had been interested in ruining, and against whom she was prejudiced. Lady Ashton insultingly dismissed Ravenswood, and mercilessly de- voted herself to accomplishing Lucy's marriage with Bucklaw, in- spired by both hatred and interest. In retaliation, the Marquis of A— openly declared his enmity against the Ashtoms, which re- sulted in Sir William's downfall. Lady Ashton . . . bent the whole efforts of her powerful mind to break her daughter's contract with Ravenswood, and to place a perpetual bar between the lovers by effecting Lucy's union with Bucklaw. . . . She was aware that in this way she might strike a blow of deep and decisive vengeance upon one whom she esteemed as her mortal enemy; nor did she hesitate, . . . although she knew that the wound must be deaft through the bosom of her daughter. . . . Lucy's . . . health . . . began to be shaken, and her hectic cheek and wandering eye gave symptoms of . . . a fever upon the spirits. . . . Lady Ashton, compact and firm of purpose, saw these waverings of health and intellect with no greater sympathy than that with which the hostile engineer regards the towers of a be- leaguered city as they reel under the discharge of his artillery. Ch. xxx. Lady Ashton's machinations against her daughter's happiness terminated in Lucy's insanity and tragic death. Lady Ashton lived to the verge of extreme old age, the only survivor of the 88 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. group of unhappy persons whose misfortunes were owing to her implacability. A That she might internally feel compunction. . . . we will not, and dare not, deny, but to those around her she did not evince the slightest symptoms either of repentance or remorse. In all external appearance, she bore the same bold, haughty, unbending character which she had displayed before these unhappy events. A splendid marble monument records her name, titles and virtues, while her victims remain undistinguished by tomb or epitaph. Ch. xxxv.

Daughter of Sir William and Lady Ashton. - Lucy Ashton’s exquisitely beautiful, yet somewhat girlish, features were formed to express peace of mind, seremity and indifference to the timsel of worldly pleasure. Her locks, which were of shadowy gold, divided on a brow of exquisite whiteness, like a gleam of broken and pallid sunshine on a hill of snow. The expression of her countenance was in the last degree gentle, soft. timid and feminine. . . . Something there was of a Madonna cast, perhaps the result of delicate health, and of residence in a family where the dispositions of the inmates were fiercer, more active and emergetic, than her own. Yet her pas- siveness of disposition was by no means owing to an indifferent or unfeeling mind. Left to the impulse of her own taste and feeling, Lucy Ashton was pecu- liarly accessible to those of a romantic cast. Her secret delight was in the old legendary tales of ardent devotion and unalterable affection, chequered as they so often arc With strange adventures and supernatural horrors. . . . But in her exterior relations to things of this world, Lucy willingly received the ruling im- pulse from those around her. The alternative was, in general, too indifferent to her to render resistance desirable. . . . Her mother alone did not feel that dis- . tinguished and predominating affection with which the rest of the family cher- ishcd Lucy. . . . She said: “Poor Lucy is unfit for courts or crowded halls. Some country laird must be her husband, rich enough to supply her with every comfort, . . . so that she may have nothing to shed a tear for but the tender ap- prehension lest he may break his neck in a fox-chase. . . . The hour will be a happy one which disposes her hand in marriage to some one whose energy is greater than her own, or whose ambition is of as low an order.” . . . But, like many a parent of hot and impatient character, she was mistaken in estimating the feelings of her daughter, who, under a semblance of extreme indifference, nourished the germ of those passions which sometimes spring up in one night . and astonish the observer by their unexpected ardour and intensity. In fact, Lucy’s sentiments seemed chill, because nothing had occurred to interest or awaken them. Her life had hitherto flowed in an uniform and gentle tenor. and happy for her had not its present smoothness of current resembled that of a stream as it glides downwards to the waterfall! Ch. iii. Edgar Ravenswood saved Lucy's life, when in danger from the attack of a wild bull. She dwelt gratefully on the incident. There had been a long quarrel between Ravenswood and her father, but a reconciliation was effected, and the young people soon became indif- ferent to the former feud. They broke a gold piece between them, THE BRIDE OF LAMMERMOOR. 89 * and plighted their troths. . Her mother, Lady Ashton, interfered between the lovers, and prevented their communication or corre- spondence, and she urged Bucklaw's suit for Lucy’s hand. Ravens- wood received the following message from her: “I am sore beset, but I will be true to my word while my reason is vouchsafed to me.” Ch. xxvii. * To increase her difficulties, Ravenswood's kinsman was instru- mentalin bringing on her father some perplexities which the Ashtons considered Ravenswood to have instigated. As a natural consequence of the alleged injustice meditated towards her father, every means was resorted to, and every argument was urged, to induce Miss Ashton to break off her engagement with Ravenswood, as being scandalous, shameful, and sinful, formed with the mortal enemy of her family, and calcu- lated to add bitterness to the distress of her parents. Lucy’s spirit, however, . was high; and although unaided and alone, she could have borne much,- she could have endured the repinings of her father, his murmurs against what he called the tyrannical usage of the ruling party, his ceaseless charges of ingratitude against Ravenswood. . . . She might have borne, also, in patience, or repelled with scorn, the bitter taunts and occasional violence of her brother, Colonel Douglas Ashton, and the impertiment and intrusive inter- ference of other friends and relatives. But it was beyond her power effectually to withstand or elude the constant and unceasing persecution of Lady Ashton. . . . She sounded every deep and shallow of her daughter's soul, assumed alter- mately every disguise of manner which could serve her object, and prepared at leisure every species of dire machinery by which the human mind could be wrenched from its settled determination. Ch. xxx. At length Lucy's health and resolution yielded under the pressure to which she was subjected. With apathy, she signed her betrothal with Bucklaw, and restored the broken gold piece to Ravenswood. Lucy's bloodless lips could only falter out the words, “It was my mother.” Ch. xxxiii. Lucy was forced to the altar shortly afterward, but took no part in the festivities that followed. Bucklaw followed her to the bridal chamber. A cry was heard so shrill and piercing, as at once to arrest the dance and the music. . . . The body of the bridegroom was found on the floor of the bridal chamber, and all around was flooded with blood. . . . In the . . . great old- fashioned chimney of the apartment . . . they found the unfortunate girl, seated, or rather couched like a hare upon its form — her head-gear dishevelled, her night-clothes torn and dabbled with blood, and her features convulsed into a wild paroxysm of insanity. . . . Convulsion followed convulsion, till they closed in death, without her being able to utter one word explanatory of the fatal scene. . . . There occurred nothing to explain the general hypothesis, that the bride, in a sudden fit of insanity, had stabbed the bridegroom at the threshold of the apartment. Ch. xxxiv. The funeral of the unfortunate Lucy Ashton . . . was performed in the misty dawn of an autumnal morning, with such moderate attendance and ceremony as 4+ 90 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. could not possibly be dispensed with. A very few of the nearest relations at- tended her body to the same church to which she had lately been led as a bride, with as little free will, perhaps, as could be now testified by her lifeless and pas- sive remains. ". . . In a coffin bearing neither name or date, were consigned to dust the remains of what was once lovely, beautiful and innocent, though exas- perated to frenzy by a long tract of unremitting persecution.

He possessed the Ravenswood Castle and estates. He was descended of a family much less ancient than that of Lord Ravens- wood, and which had only risen to wealth and political importance during the great civil wars. He himself had been bred to the bar, and had held high offices in the state, maintaining . . . the character of a skilful fisher in the troubled waters of a state divided by factions, and governed by delegated authority; and of one who cofitrived to amass considerable sums of money in a country where there was but little to be gathered, and who equally knew the value of wealth, and the various means of augmenting it, and using it as an engine of increasing his power. . . Thus qualified and gifted, he was a dangerous antagonist to the fierce and impru- dent Ravenswood. . . . The Lord Keeper . . . had, previously to the final pur- chase of the estate of Ravenswood, been concerned in extensive pecuniary transactions with the former proprietor. . . . They asked, which party was likely to have the advantage in stating and enforcing the claims arising out of these complicated affairs. . . . And if it had been supposed that Sir William's conscience had been too delicate to profit by these advantages, it was believed that his ambition and desire of extending his wealth and consequence, found as strong a stimulus in the exhortations of his lady, as the daring aims of Macbeth in the days of yore. Ch. ii. - `âs appearance was grave and even noble, and well becoming one who held a high office in the state; and it was not, save after long and intimate conversation with him upon topics of pressing and personal interest, that a stranger could have discovered something vacillating and uncertain in his resolutions. . . . arising from a cautious and timid disposition, which, as he was conscious of its internal influence on his mind, he was, from pride as well as policy, most anxious to conceal from others. Ch. iii. - THE BRIDE OF LAMMERMOOR. 91 Fearing personal violence, and wishing, politically, to conciliate Ravenswood's kinsman, the Marquis of A–, Sir William subtly devoted himself to winning young Ravenswood's friendship. He encouraged Ravenswood's love for his daughter, Lucy. He thus fortified himself against a damaging investigation of his dealings with the house of Ravenswood. - - In this selfish and cruel calculation upon the supposed attachment of Ravens- wood to Lucy, he was so far from considering the pain he might give to the for- mer, by thus dallying with his affections, that he even did not think upon the risk of involving his own daughter in the perils of an unfortunate passion. . . . But providence had prepared a dreadful requital for this keen observer of hu. man passions, who had spent his life in securing advantages to himself by art- fully working upon the passions of others. Ch. xvi. Notwithstanding his political cunning, he was thwarted in his attempt to retain the Lord Keepership, and his duplicity in regard to Ravenswood had so involved his daughter's happiness that she sank into an early grave.

He made foraging expeditions against the villagers, and extorted contributions from them for his master's table. To prevent Ravens- wood from bringing his distinguished kinsman to the impoverished castle, Caleb made a fire in the yard and circulated the report that Wolf's Crag was too much damaged by a recent conflagration to re- ceive guests. Balderson so grieved for his master that he did not long survive him. “If I were disposed to jest at the calamities of my house,” said Ravenswood, . . . poor old Caleb would furnish me with ample means. His passion consists in representing things about our miserable ménage, not. as they are, but as, in his opinion, they ought to be; and to say the truth, I have been often diverted with the poor wretch's expedients to supply what he thought was essential for the credit of the family, and his still more generous apologies for the want of those articles for which his ingenuity could discover no substitute.

Short, Stout, ruddy-faced and red-haired, with an open, resolute and cheerful eye, to which careless and fearless freedom, and inward daring, gave fire and expression, notwithstanding its light-grey colour. Ch. vi. He was a reckless and dissipated sportsman, and said of himself: “I am a fool who has gambled away my land. . . . My grand-aunt, Lady Girmington, has taen a new tack on life, . . . and this is What I have by wine, women and dice, cocks, dogs and horses.” Ch. vii. Bucklaw was saved from ruin by a timely legacy. His match- making kinswoman, Lady Blenkensop, with Lady Ashton, arranged a marriage between Lucy Ashton and Bucklaw. Lucy was engaged to Ravenswood, with whom Bucklaw had had a quarrel. As Lucy was adverse to him, Bucklaw left the wooing to her mother. THE BRIDE OF LAMMIERMOOR. 93 It was not . . . surprising, such being the manners of the age, that Mr. Hay- ston of Bucklaw, whom dissipated habits had detached in some degree from the best society, should not attend particularly to those feelings in his elected bride, to which many men of more sentiment, experience and reflection would, in all probability, have been equally indifferent. He knew what all accounted the principal point, that her parents and friends, mamely, were decidedly in his favour, and there existed most powerful reasons for their predilection. Ch. xxx. Bucklaw was married to the unwilling Miss Ashton, and that night was found severely wounded in the bridal chamber, his bride dying shortly afterward in convulsions. On his recovery, he am- nounced that he would cease speaking to any lady who should in- quire of him concerning these occurrences, and if a man should question him, a duel would result. A declaration so decisive admitted no commentary; and it was soon after seen that Bucklaw had arisen from the bed of sickness a sadder and a wiser man than he had hitherto shown himself. . . . Bucklaw afterward went abroad and never returned to Scotland; nor was he known ever to hint at the circum- stances attending his fatal marriage. Ch. xxxiv.

He pretended to be accredited from Versailles, in the Jacobite interest, and was a low and vindictive swindler and ad- venturer. He attached himself to the Laird of Bucklaw as his squire and toady. Craigengelt . . . reaped many advantages from his friend's good fortunes. Bucklaw, who had never been at all scrupulous in choosing his companions, was accustomed to, and entertained by, a fellow whom he could either laugh with or laugh at, as he had a mind; . . . understood all sports, whether within or without doors, and, when the laird had a mind for a bottle of wine, . . . was al- ways ready to save him from the scandal of getting drunk by himself. Upon these terms, Craigengelt was the frequent, almost the constant, inmate of the house of Girmington.

Dame Gourlay perceived that Lucy shuddered at her external appearance. . . . She commenced her operations by endeavouring to efface or overcome those pre- judices . . . by a show of kindness and interest, . . . and under pretence of di- verting the solitude of a sick room, she soon led her attention captive by the legends in which she was so well skilled. . . . The old Sycorax saw her advan- tage, and gradually narrowed her magic circle around the devoted victim on whose spirit she practised. Her legends began relating to the fortunes of the Ravens- wood family. . . . Stories were told by her attendant so closely resembling her own in their circumstances that she was gradually led to converse upon such tragic and mystical subjects with the bedlam. . . . She directed Lucy's thoughts to the means of inquiring into futurity,+ the surest mode, perhaps, of shaking the understanding and destroying the spirits. . . . It is some comfort to know that the old hag was tried, condemned, and burned on top of North Berwick Law by sentence of a commission from the Privy Council. . . . Meanwhile, this mys- terious visionary traffic had its usual effect, in unsettling Miss Ashton’s mind. . . . Lucy Ashton announced . . .

She is blind, poor old soul; but when she speaks to you you would think she had some way of looking into your very heart. I am sure I often cover my face, or turn it away, for it seems as if she saw one change colour, though she has been blind these twenty years. She is Worth Visiting, if it were only to say you had seen a blind and paralytic old wo- man have so much acuteness of perception and dignity of manners. I assure you she might be a countess from her language and her behaviour. . . .

The young Master of Ravens- wood was handsome, dark and moody-looking. His father had been involved in legal toils by Sir William Ashton, and deprived of all his property, except the old Tower of Wolf's Crag. This he bequeathed to his son, together with his curses against their enemy, and Edgar resolved to submit his cause to the House of Lords. He accidentally saved Lucy Ashtom's life. Her crafty father appealed to Ravenswood's generous honor by his professions of friendship, and the Master forgave their differences: The noble form and fine features of Ravenswood, fired with the pride of birth and sense of intermal dignity, the mellow and expressive tones of his voice, the desolate state of his fortunes and the indifference with which he seemed to en- dure and to dare the worst that might befall, rendered him a dangerous object of contemplation for a maiden already too much disposed to dwell upon recollections connected with him. Ch. xvi. Lucy Ashton and Ravenswood became happy lovers, but upon Lady Ashton's return he was forbidden the Castle. Overwhelmed with mortification and sorrow, he went abroad, and achieved honor and emolument. He returned upon the day when the persecuted Lucy had signed a betrothal with. Bucklaw. He said to her: “I am still that Edgar Ravenswood, who, for your affection, . . . forgave — nay, clasped hands in friendship—with the oppressor and pillager of his.house, traducer and murderer of his father. . . . The honour of an ancient family, the urgent advice of my best friends, have been in vain used to sway my resolution. . . . The very dead have arisen to warn me, and their warning has been despised. Are you prepared to pierce my heart with the very weapon which my rash confi- dence entrusted to your grasp?” Ch. xxxiii. 96 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. To all his questions Lucy Ashton truthfully answered that Lady Ashton was responsible for their misery. At Lucy's funeral Ravens- wood accepted of her brother's challenge. After a night of restless agony, despairing and desperate, he hastened to his doom. The prophecy at once rushed on Balderson's mind that the Lord of Ravens- wood should perish on the Kelpie's flow. . . . He saw him, accordingly, reach the fatal spot, but he never saw him pass farther. Colonel Ashton, frantic fol' revenge, was already in the field. . . . The sun had now arisen, and showed his broad disk above the eastern sea, so that he could easily discern the horseman that rode toward him with speed which argued impatience equal to his own. At once the figure became invisible, as if it had melted into the air. . . . No trace whatever of horse or rider could be discerned; it only appeared that the late winds and high tides had greatly extended the usual bounds of the quicksands, and that the unfortunate horseman, as appeared from the hoof-tracks, in his pre- cipitated haste, had not attended to keep on the firm sands on the foot of the rock, but had taken the shortest and most dangerous course. Ch. xxxv. Thus was fulfilled the ancient prophecy: “When the last Laird of Ravenswood to Ravenswood shall ride, And Woo a dead maiden to be his bride, He shall stable his steed in the Kelpie's flow, And his name shall be lost forevermoe.” Ch. ii., iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, x, xi, xiv, xvi, xvii, xviii, xix., xx, xxi, xxii, xxiii, xxiv, xxv, xxvi, xxvii, xxxiii, xxxv.

LEGENT) OF MONTROS.E.” A ROMANCE. “Such as do build their faith upon The holy text of pike and gun, Decide all controversies by Infallible artillery, And prove their doctrine orthodox By apostolic blows and knocks.” BUTLER, ARGUMENT. HIS story is laid at the time of Montrose's “brief and glorious career'' as commander of the Royalist troops in the Highlands, During the period of that great and bloody Civil War which agitated Britain dur- ‘ing the seventeenth century. Ch. i. The veteran Sergeant More M*Alpine joins his faithful sister, Janet, as a resident of Gandercleugh. The Sergeant's ancestors had fought under Montrose, and he gave Mr. Pattieson the incidents related in “A Legend of Montrose.” **-* Anderson. A name assumed by Montrose while incognito.

Though cowardly, Argyle was the strength and leader of the Presbyterians. Montrose and Argyle were inveterate feudal enemies. The Marquis himself was dressed in the fashion of the period, which Vandyke has so often painted; but his habit was sober and uniform in colour, and rather rich than gay. His dark complexion, furrowed forehead and downcast look gave him the appearance of one frequently engaged in the consideration of important affairs, and who has acquired, by long habit. an air of gravity and mystery which he cannot shake off, when there is nothing to be concealed. The cast with his eyes, which had procured him in the Highlands the nickname of Gillespie Grum- * See foot-note on page 49. 98 A. LEGEND OF MONTROSE. 99 ach (on the grim), was less perceptible when he looked downward, which, per- haps, was one of the causes of his having adopted that habit. In person, he was tall and thin, but not without that dignity of deportment and manners which be- came his high rank. Something there was cold in his address, and sinister in his look, although he spoke and behaved with the usual grace of a man of such qual- ity. He was adored by his own clan, whose advancement he had greatly studied, although he was in proportion disliked by the Highlanders of other septs, some of whom he had already stripped of their possessions, while others conceived themselves in danger from his future schemes, and all dreaded the height to which he was elevated.

A major under Montrose; formerly a ritt- master in the army of Gustavus Adolphus. A soldier of fortune, who had fought in many wars and under whatever banner suited his interest or pleasure. His views of life, conduct and honor were entirely from a military standpoint. It was his peculiarity to orate incessantly of his adventures, of Mareschal College, where he had 100 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. been a divinity student in his youth, and of “Gustavus Adolphus, the Lion of the North and the bulwark of the Protestant faith.” Among his many exploits was the escape from Argyle's Castle, where he had been retained as a prisoner. Thé Marquis visited him in disguise, to bribe him into revealing Montrose's plans, and made overtures to Dalgetty to desert into the Presbyterian service. Dal- getty recognized the Marquis, and so throttled him that he gave the password, and Dalgetty escaped, carrying valuable papers to Montrose. He was knighted for his services. Menteith says of him: “Eager on his sordid spoil as a vulture that stoops upon carrion. Yet this man the world calls a soldier. . . . He may be punctilious concerning his repu- tation, and brave in the exccution of his duty, but it is only because without these qualities he cannot rise in the service.” Ch. xx. At the battle of Philiphaugh he was made a prisoner, and promised his life only on conditions of entering the Covenanters' army. He was in the utmost danger of falling a martyr, not to this or that political principle, but merely to his own strict ideas of military enlistment. Fortunately, his friends discovered . . . that there remained but a fortnight to clapse of the engagement he had formed, and to which, though certain it was never to be renewed, no power on earth could make him false. With some difficulty they procured a reprieve for this short space, after which they found him perfectly willing to come under any engagement they chose to dictate. Ch. xxiii. The “Edinburgh Review,” No. 55, says: “There is too much, perhaps, of Dalgetty, or, rather, he engrosses too great a proportion of the work.—for in himself we think he is uniformly entertaining; and the author has nowhere shown more affinity to that matchless spirit who could bring out his Falstaffs and his Pistols in act after act and play after play, and exercise them every time with scenes of unbounded loquacity, without either exhausting their humour or varying a note from its characteristic tone, than in his large and reiterated specimens of the eloquence of the redoubted Ritt-master. . . . The ludicrous combination of the soldado with the divinity student of Mareschal College is entirely original; and the mixture of talent, selfishness, courage, coarseness and conceit was never so happily exemplified.” Ch. ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xvi, xvii, xviii, xix, xx, xxi, xxii, xxiii. Dhu, Evan. Lochiel, an able Highland chieftain. There was a dispute among his colleagues as to who should command them.

High-born he must be, or we shall lose our rank in obeying him — wise and skilful, or we shall endanger the safety of our people — bravest among the brave, or we shall peril our own honour — temperate, firm and manly, to keep us united.

Daughter of the Knight of Ardenvohr. She had been kidnapped by Randal MacEagh while an infant, during the , sacking of her father's castle. Through the circumstances of war, she afterward became Allan M'Aulay's captive. Her powerful but stricken parents sought her in vain. She was accomplished in music, and grew into beautiful girlhood. Allan M'Aulay and Menteith both loved her. For the madman Allan she felt mingled gratitude and fear, while between Menteith and herself there was an unconfessed love. She remembered nothing of her birth or par- entage. Her appearance at Darlinvarach Castle is thus described: Annot Lyle . . . glided into the room, not ill described by Lord Menteith as being the lightest and most fairy figure that ever trod the turf by moonlight. Her stature, considerably less than the ordinary size of women, gave her the appearance of extreme youth, insomuch that although she was near eighteen, she might have passed for four years younger. Her figure, hands and feet were formed upon a model of exquisite symmetry with the size and lightness of her person, so that Titania herself could scarce have found a more fitting repre- sentative. Her hair was a dark shade of the colour usually termed flaxen, whose clustering ringlets suited admirably with her fair complexion, and with the playful, yet simple, expression of her features. When we add to these charms, that Annot, in her orphan state, seemed the gayest and happiest of maidens, the reader must allow us to claim for her the interest of almost all who looked on 102 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. her. . . . And she often came among the rude inhabitants of the castle, as Allan himself . . . expressed it, “ like a sunbeam on a sullen Sea,” communicating to all others the cheerfulness that filled her own mind. Ch. Vi. Her dress partook of the antique. . . . Yet Annot's garments were not only becoming, but even rich. Her open jacket, with a high collar, was composed of blue cloth, richly embroidered, and had silver clasps to fasten when it please the wearer. Its sleeves, which were wide, came no lower than the elbow, and ter- minated in a golden fringe; under the upper coat . . . she wore an under-dress of blue satin, also richly embroidered, but which was several shades lighter in colour than the upper garment. The petticoat was formed of tartan silk, in the set or pattern of which the blue greatly predominated, so as to remove the tawdry effect too frequently produced in tartan by the mixture and strange opposition of colours. An antique silver chain hung around her neck, and sup- ported the wrest, or key, with which she tuned her instrument. A small ruff rose above her collar, and was secured by a brooch of some value, an old keep- sake of Lord Menteith. Ch. ix. + After it is known that Ardenvohr is her father, she returns to his protection, and is married to the Earl of Menteith. Ch. v, vi, ix, xx, xxi, xxii, xxiii. See ALLAN M*AULAY; RANDAL MACEAGH; MENTEITH. - M‘Aulay, Allan. Brother of the Chief of Darnlinvarach, and in Montrose's army. His mother had been cruelly treated by the “Children of the Mist,” and bequeathed to him hatred of her persecutors and a taint of insanity. His natural acuteness of intel- lect was occasionally contrasted with an aberration of mind. At such times he saw visions, and spoke as a seer. He had a strong influence over his tribe, and was powerful in frame and brave in action. Annot Lyle had become his captive, in a contest with his feudal enemies, when a little child. He gave her a brother's care and affection. Her beauty and skill in music calmed his disturbed fancies in his hours of darkness. He was oppressed for years with a foreboding that he should kill his friend, the Earl of Menteith. There came a time when Allan realized that he loved Annot, and that her heart was given to Menteith. He uttered wild threats of vengeance against them both, and Montrose, discreetly, sent him on a distant mission. Whatever was in other respects the nobleness of his disposition, he had never been known to resist the wilfulness of passion. He walked in the house and in the country of his fathers like a tamed lion, whom no one dared to contradict, lest they should awaken his natural vehemence of passion. So many years had elapsed since he had experienced contradiction, or even expostulation, that probably nothing but the strong good sense which on all points, his mysticism excepted, formed the ground of his character, prevented his proving an annoy- ance and terror to the whole neighbourhood. Ch. xxi. He returned to the camp on the appointed wedding day, and stabbed Menteith, saying: A LEGEND OF MONTROSE. 103 “Be the vision accomplished.” He escaped pursuit, and his after fate was a mystery. It was supposed he fell a victim to the “Children of the Mist.” It was also conjectured that he became a Carthusian monk. Int. (1830). Ch. iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, xvii, xix., xx, xxiii.

He was brave to intrepidity and almost to insensibility; very strong and active in person, completely master of his weapons, and always ready to show the example in the extremity of danger. To counterbalance these good quali- ties, it must be recorded that he was inexperienced in military tactics, and of a jealous and presumptuous disposition, which often lost to Montrose the fruits of Colkitto's gallantry. . . . The feats of strength and courage shown by this champion seem to have made a stronger impression upon the minds of the Highlanders than the military skill and chivalrous spirit of the great Marquis of Montrose. Ch. xv. •º. Ch. v, xv, xvii, xix. M“Dougal of Lorne. See GLENGARRY. MacEagh, Randal. Chief of a Highland band of outlaws called “Children of the Mist.” Their atrocities brought upon them the vengeance of Menteith, the Campbells (sons of Diarmid), and the M“Aulays (race of Darlinvarach). For a short time he was a guide to Montrose's army. While dying from a wound received from Allan M*Aulay, he sends for his grandson, Kenneth. “ Kenneth,” said the old outlaw, “hear the last words of the sire of thy father. A Saxon soldier, and Allan of the Red-hand, left this camp within these few hours, to travel to the country of the Caberfae. Pursue them as the blood- hound pursues the hurt deer — swim the lake — climb the mountain — thread the forest—tarry not until you join them. . . . They will ask the news from the camp — say to them that Annot Lyle of the Harp is discovered to be the daugh- ter of Duncan of Ardenvohr; that the Thane of Menteith is to wed her before the priest; and that you are sent to bid guests to the bridal. Tarry not for their answer, but vanish like the lightning when the black cloud swallows it. . . . Kenneth, son of Eracht, keep thou unsoiled the freedom which I leave thee as a birthright. Barter it not, neither for the rich garment, nor for the stone roof, nor for the covered board, nor for the couch of down. . . .

Remember those who have done kindness to our race, and pay their services with thy blood, should the hour require it. . . . The sons of Diarmid – the race of Darlinvarach 104 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY, — the riders of Menteith — my curse on thy head, Child of the Mist, if thou spare one of those names when the time shall offer for cutting them off. . . .

Hadst thou ever any enemy against whom weapons were of no avail? . . . To this man I have now bequeathed agony of mind, jealousy, despair, and sudden death itself.

It is utterly remote from my character to entertain dishonourable views concerning this unprotected female. . . . If Annot Lyle were born a lady, she should share my name and rank.” Ch. xx. Subsequent developments discovered Annot as the daughter of the Knight of Ardenvohr, and Menteith made her his wife. A wound received from M*Aulay prevented his returning to the army. He occupied a situation in the land befitting his rank, . . . happy alike in public regard and in domestic affection. Ch. xxiii. Ch. ii, iii, v, vi, vii, ix, xix., xx, XXi, xxii, Xxiii.

Montrose possessed that sort of form and face in which the beholder, at first glance, sees nothing extraordinary, but of which the interest becomes more impressive the longer we gaze upon them. His stature was very little above the middle size, but in person he was uncommonly well built, and capable of ex- erting great force, and enduring much fatigue. In fact, he enjoyed a constitution of iron, without which he could not have sustained the trials of his extraordinary campaigns, through all of which he subjected himself to the hardships of the meanest soldier. He was perfect in all exercises, whether peaceful or martial, and possessed, of course, that graceful casc of deportment proper to those to whom habit had rendered all postures easy. His long brown hair, according to the custom of men of quality among the Royalists, was parted on the top of his head, and trained to hang down on each side in curled locks. . . . The features which these tresses enclosed, were of the kind which derive their interest from the character of the man, rather than the regularity of their form. But a high A LEGEND OF MONTROSE. 105 nose, a full, decided, well opened, quick grey eye, and a sanguine complexion, made amends for some coarseness and irregularity in the Subordinate parts of the face; so that, altogether, Montrose might be termed rather a handsome, than a hard-featured man. But those who saw him when his Soul looked through those eyes with all the energy and fire of genius — those who heard him speak with the authority of talent, and the eloquence of nature, were im- pressed with an opinion, even of his external form, more enthusiastically favour- able than the portraits which still survive would entitle us to ascribe to it.

A. R. G. U M E N T. Coºr ROBERT OF PARIS relates to the period when the Crusaders, under Godfrey of Bouillon, were before Constanti- nople, during the reign of Alexius Comnenus, Emperor of Greece. In the two last novels written by this mighty creator, “ Count Robert of Paris,” and “Castle Dangerous,” we see, with pity and respect, the last runnings of this bright and abundant fountain, soon to be choked up forever. The scenes and de- Scriptions have the air of being painfully worked up from books, the characters are conventional and without individuality, the dialogues are long and pointless, and nothing remains of the great master's manner but that free, honest and noble spirit of thought and feeling which never desert him. Shaw’s English Literature. Mr. Cleisbotham found Mr. Pattieson's last novels, “Count Robert of Paris" and “Castle Dangerous,” in an imperfect condition, and allowed the author's seedy and swaggering brother, Paul, to assist him in his school, and to revise the manuscripts. His wife, in vain, warned him against Paul, and Mr. Cleisbotham found, to his chagrim, that Paul had had the inaccurate manuscripts published to his own advantage. Agatha. See BERTHA. Agelastes, Michael. An influential courtier and wily conspirator. He assumed to be a sage philosopher and court-wit, and while seem- ing to favor the pretensions of others, he secretly and subtly plotted to be Emperor and the husband of Anna Comnena. One goodly old man, named Michael Agelastes, big, burly, and dressed like an ancient Cynic philosopher, was distinguished by assuming, in a great meas- ure, the ragged garb and mad bearing of that sect, and by his inflexible practice of the strictest ceremonies exigible by the imperial family. He was known by an affectation of cynical principle and language, and of republican philosophy, strangely contradicted by his practical deference to the great. It was wonder- ful how long this man, now sixty years old and upwards, disdained to avail him- self of the accustomed privilege of leaning or supporting his limbs, and with what regularity he maintained either the standing posture or that of absolute * Sec foot-note on page 49. * 107 108 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. kneeling; but the first was so much his usual attitude that he acquired among his court friends the name of Elephas, or the Elephant, because the ancients had an idea that the half-reasoning animal, as it is called, has joints incapable of kneeling down. Ch. iii. - Agelastes was privately a scoffer and voluptuary, and in his Cyth- ‘eream Gardens pandered to the vices of his friends. The Emperor's vengeance was anticipated by Agelastes' singular death. He acci- dentally struck the wounded paw of the Ourang Outang, Sylvanus, who, in return, strangled the philosopher to death.

Alexius Comnenus was in the condition of a monarch who rather derives con- sequence from the wealth and importance of his predecessors, and the great extent of their original dominions, than from what remnants of fortune had de- scended to the present generation. . . . If, therefore, Alexius Comnenus was, during his anxious seat upon the throne of the east, reduced to use a base and truckling course of policy — if he was sometimes reluctant to fight when he had a conscious doubt of the valour of his troops—-if he commonly employed cun- ning and dissinulation instead of wisdom, and perfidy instead of courage, his expedients were the disgrace of his age, rather than his own. . . . That the Greek court was encumbered with unmeaning ceremonies, in order to make amends for the want of that veneration which ought to have been called forth by real worth and the presence of actual power, was not the particular fault of that prince, but belonged to the system of the government of Constantinople for ages; . . . and . . . had he not been called on to fill the station of a monarch, who was under the necessity of making himself dreaded, as one who was ex- posed to all manner of conspiracies, both in and out of his own family, he might, in all probability, have been regarded as an honest and humane prince. . . . . Alexius had his full share of the superstition of the age, which he covered with a species of hypocrisy. . . . He took also a deep interest in all matters affecting the Church, . . . and the duty of defending religion against Schismatics was, in his opinion, . . . peremptorily demanded from him. Ch. i.

His lady believed the Saxons were not Christians, and insisted that they should be rebaptized and assume other names. Ulric consented to this, and was baptized Martha. Bren- hilda sided with Bertha, who was thus enabled to retain her own name, but who consented to be called Agatha, while with her Nor- man protectress. In Constantinople she met Hereward again.

She joined the Crusade with her husband, and mounted the walls of Jerusalem. She was a large and handsome woman, and while at Constantinople was persecuted and endan- gered by the suit of the enamored Caesar. Her toilet at an imperial reception is thus described: The upper part of her dress consisted of more than one tunic, sitting close to the body, while a skirt, descending from the girdle, and reaching to the ankles, embroidered elegantly but richly, completed an attire which a lady might have worn in much more modern times. Her tresses were covered with a light steel head-piece, though some of them, escaping, played around her face, and gave relief to those handsome features which might otherwise have seemed too formal, if closed entirely in the verge of steel. Over these under-garments was flung a rich velvet cloak of a deep-green colour, descending from the head, where a species of hood was loosely adjusted over the helmet, deeply laced upon its verges and seams, and so long as to sweep the ground behind. A dagger of rich materials ornamented a girdle of curious goldsmith's work, and was the only offensive weapon which . . . she bore upon this occasion. Ch. xiv.

Ch. ix. - While Alexius Comnenus was receiving the Crusaders' vows of fealty, Robert of Paris boldly seated himself on the Emperor's throne. Alexius did not forget this affront, and the stay of the Count and Countess of Paris in Constantinople was very perilous. The Count was treacherously separated from his wife, and confined in a dun- geon with a tiger, whom he slew, and in the face of danger gained his liberty and recovered his wife. There is very little doubt that the Count Robert of Paris, whose audacity in seating himself on the throne of the Emperor, gives a peculiar interest to his character, was in fact a person of the highest rank; being no other, as has been conjectured by the learned Du Change, than an ancestor of the house of Bour- bon, which has so long given kings to France. He was a successor, it has been conceived, of the Counts of Paris, by whom the city was valiantly defended against the Normans, and an ancestor of Hugh Capet. Ch. xxxiv. See ADVERTISEMENT (1833).

A. R. G. U M E N T . This romance is laid in the fourteenth century, during the wars between Edward I, of England, and Bruce, of Scotland. It relates to the Black Douglas and his Castle: . A place so often won back by its ancient lords, and with such circumstances of valour and cruelty, that it bears in England the name of “The Dangerous Castle.” Ch. iii. Anthony. A rough English archer. Ch. ii, vii. Augustine. See LADY AUGUSTA DE BERKELY. Bend-the-Bow. A civil English archer, Ch. ii, vii. Berkely, Lady Augusta de. A beautiful English heiress, who promised to marry her lover, Sir John DeWalton, if he should hold Castle Douglas for a year and a day. She became alarmed for his safety, and came in the vicinity of the Castle, in masculine disguise, under the name of Augustine, and represented herself as the son of her companion, the old minstrel, Bertram. She says to a friend: “I determined to take such measures in respect to shortening the term of his trial, or otherwise, as a sight of Douglas Castle, and — why should I deny it?— of Sir John De Walton, might suggest,” Ch. xi. Her presence at the Convent of St. Bride excited suspicion, and she was compelled to fly to prevent discovery. She became Douglas' prisoner, and he refused to deliver her to De Walton unless the Cas- tle was surrendered. Lady Augusta witnessed the deadly combat between her lover and the Douglas, and after De Walton was forced to yield the Castle, she gave him her “envied hand.” Ch. i, ii, viii, ix, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, xix., xx.

De Walton, Sir John. Governor of Douglas Castle; a poor but famous knight, who had engaged to keep the Castle a year and a day in consideration of the hand of Lady Augusta de Berkely. He was handsome, tall, and about thirty. He was naturally noble and generous, but his perilous duty made him severe and suspicious, and he unconsciously persecuted Lady Augusta, who was in disguise at Douglas Dale, and she fell into Douglas' power, who demanded Castle Dangerous as her ransom. This De Walton's loyalty for- bade, and he engaged in a personal combat with his enemy. The conflict was ended by a command from his defeated ally, the Earl of Pembroke, to surrender the Castle. De Walton and Lady Au- gusta were soon married. King Edward was greatly enraged at Sir John De Walton for having surren- dered the Castle of Douglas. . . . The knights to whom he referred the matter as a subject of inquiry, gave it, nevertheless, as their opinion that De Walton was void of all censure, having discharged his duty in its fullest cxtent, till the commands of his superior officer obliged him to surrender Dangerous Castle.

Among all the associates of Robert the Bruce, in his great enterprise of res- cuing Scotland from the power of Edward, the first place is universally conceded to James, the eighth Lord of Douglas, to this day venerated by his countrymen as the “Good Sir James.” . . . In every narrative of the Scottish war of inde- pendence, a considerable space is devoted to those years of perilous adventure and suffering which were spent by the illustrious friend of Bruce, in harassing the English detachments successively occupying his paternal territory, and in repeated and successful attempts to wrest the formidable fortress of Douglas Castle itself from their possession. Int. (1832).

A R G U M E N T. Roſſ ROY is Francis Osbaldistone's autobiography, and it is laid at the period of the rebellion of 1715. The singular character whose name is given to the title-page, . . . through good report and bad report, has maintained a wonderful degree of importance in popular recollection. This cannot be ascribed to the distinction of his birth, which, though that of a gentleman, had in it nothing of high destination, and gave him little right to command in his clan. Neither, though he lived a busy, restless and cnterpris- ing life, were his feats equal to those of other freebooters, who have been less dis- tinguished. He owed his fame in a great measure to his residing on the very verge of thc Highlands, and playing such pranks in the beginning of the eighteenth cen- tury as are usually ascribed to Robin Hood in the middle ages.- and that within forty miles of Glasgow, a great commercial city, the seat of a learned university. Thus a character like his, blending the wild virtues, the subtle policy and unre- strained license of an American Indian, was flourishing in Scotland during the Augustan age of Queen Anne and George I.

Threatened with death, he consented to take Cap- tain Thornton to Rob Roy's place of concealment, and he design- edly led the soldiers into an ambush, where captivity and death awaited them. He assisted in extricating Francis Osbaldistone and * Bailie Jarvie from a situation of peril. “The Dougal Creature '' was much moved at meeting Rob Roy after a long separation. He was a wild, shock-headed looking animal, whose profusion of red hair covered and obscured his features, which were otherwise only characterized by the extravagant joy that affected him at the sight of my guide. In my experi- ence I have met nothing so absolutely resembling my idea of a very uncouth, wild and ugly savage, adoring the idol of his tribe. He grinned, he shivered, he laughed, he was near crying, if he did not actually cry. He had a “Where shall I go? What can I do for you?” expression of face; the complete, surrendered and anxious subservience and devotion of which it is difficult to describe. Ch. xxii.

He was averse to hard labor, and anticipated larger wages in Frank's service. He was a Scotch Presbyterian, very much preju- diced against the Union and Romanism. Notwithstanding his canting piety, he had been a smuggler in his youth, and his ideas of homesty were distorted. He was humorous and shrewd, but ob- durate, cowardly and officious. He did not scruple both to dispute and advise his master. So Frank discharged the “greedy, tire- some, meddling coxcomb,” but Andrew was satisfied with his quar- ters, and would not go. Fairservice was gifted with The art, which he possessed in no inconsiderable degree, of affecting an ex- treme attachment to his master; which theoretical attachment he made com- patible in practice with playing all manner of tricks without scruple, providing only against his master being cheated by any one but himself.

And this inactivity does not by any means arise from actual stupidity. On the contrary, for one whose principal delight is in eating and drinking, he is an alert, joyous and lively old soul, which makes his assumed dulness the more diverting. . . .

Nothing can promise less originality and interest than the portrait of a con- ceited, pctulant, purse-proud tradesman, full of his own and his father's local dignity and importance, and of mercantile and Presbyterian formalities, and to- tally without tact or discretion, who does nothing in the story but give bail, take a journey and marry his maid. But the courage, the generosity, and the frank naïveté and warm-heartedness, which are united to these unpromising ingredi- ents, and, above all perhaps, the “Hieland blude of him that warms at thae daft tales of venturesome deeds and escapes, tho’ they are all sinfu' vanities,” and makes him affirm before the council that Rob Roy, “set apart what he had dune again the law o' the county, and the heirship o' the Lennox (i. e. the laying waste and plundering a whole county), and the misfortunes o' some folk losing life by him, was an honester man than stude on any o' their hanks,” make him original and interesting.

She executed summary vengeance upon a party of soldiers that had been sent to arrest Rob Roy. I do not know if Helen MacGregor had personally mingled in the fray, and indeed I was afterwards given to understand the contrary; but the specks of blood on her brow, her hands and naked arms, as well as on the blade of her sword, . . . her flushed countenance, and the disordered state of her raven locks, which escaped from under the red bonnet and plume that formed her head-dress, seemed all to intimate that she had taken an immediate sharc in the conſlict. Her keen black eyes and features expressed an imagination inflamed by the pride of gratified revenge and the triumph of victory. . . . Nevertheless, the enthusiasm by which she was agitated gave her countenance and deport- ment, wildly dignified in themselves, an air which made her approach nearly to the ideas of those wonderful artists who gave to the eye the heroines of Script- ure history. Ch. xxxi. - Helen MacGregor greeted her kinsman, Bailie Jarvie, with an embrace that terrified him, and she received Francis Osbaldistone also in a friendly manner. - “You came,” she added, “to our unhappy country when our bloods were chafed and our hands were red. Excuse the rudeness that gave you a rough Wel- come, and lay it upon the evil times, and not upon us.” All this was said with the manners of a princess, and in the tone and style of a court. . . . There was a strong provincial accentuation, but otherwise the language rendered by Helen MacGregor, out of the native and poetical Gaelic, into English, which she had acquired as we do learned tongues, but had probably never heard applied to the mean purposes of ordinary life, was graceful, flowing and declamatory.

He is represented in the novel as in the prime of life, and as a Jacobite interested in the insurrection of 1715. His political sympathies placed him under the influence of Diana, Vernon and her father. In accordance with their wishes, he comes to Francis Osbaldistone's assistance in many moments of need. He is so important a person in the young gentleman's career that Frank's autobiography is called “Rob Roy.” This Robin Hood of Scotland could be very crafty, but he was kind to the poor, and never cruel. He had been 126 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. a drover in early life. The wrongs of his clan, poverty, and prob- ably matural inclination, led him to another vocation. His depre- dations involved him in many feuds. At the head of his band, he sought vengeance, committed robberies and levied blackmail. He himself appears to have been singularly adapted for the profession which he proposed to exercise. His stature was not of the tallest, but his person was uncommonly strong and compact. The greatest peculiarities of his frame were the breadth of his shoulders, and the great and almost disproportionate length of his arms; so remarkable, indeed, that it was said he could, without stooping, tie the garters of his Highland hose, which are placed two inches below the knee. His countenance was open, manly, stern at periods of danger, but frank and cheerful in his hours of festivity. His bair was dark red, thick, and frizzled and curled short around the face. His fashion of dress showed, of course, the knees and upper part of the leg, . . . resembling that of a Highland bull, hir- sute with red hair, and cvincing muscular strength similar to that animal. To these personal qualifications must be added a masterly use of the Highland sword, in which his length of arm gave him great advantage, and a perfect and intimate knowledge of all the recesses of the wild country in which he har- boured, and the character of the various individuals, whether fricndly or hostile, with whom he might come in contact.

Morris, Mr. A timid revenue officer, and Rashleigh Osbaldistone's tool. He unjustly accused Francis Osbaldistone of robbery, and was instrumental in Rob Roy's arrest. He was sent to Helen Mac- Gregor as a hostage for her husband's safety, with the message that Rob Roy and the gauger had better both be hung. He fell prostrate before the female Chief, with an effort to clasp her knees, from which she drew back, as if his touch had been pollution, so that all he could do in token of the extremity of his humiliation, was to kiss the hem of her plaid. I never heard entreaties for life poured forth with such agony of spirit. The ecstasy of fear was such, that instead of paralysing his tongue, as on ordi- nary occasions, it even rendered him eloquent; and, with cheeks pale as ashes, hands compressed in agony, eyes that seemed to be taking their last look of all mortal objects, he protested, with the deepest oaths, his total ignorance of any design on the person of Rob Roy, whom he swore he loved and honoured as his own soul. In the inconsistency of his terror, he said he was but the agent of others. . . . He prayed but for life — for life he would give all he had in the world; it was but life he asked—life, if it were to be prolonged under tortures and privations; he asked only breath, though it should be drawn in the damps of the lowest caverns of their hills. It is impossible to describe the scorn, the loathing and contempt, with which the wife of MacGregor regarded this wretched petitioner for the poor boon of existence. “I could have bid ye live,” she said, “had life been to you the same Weary and wasting burden that it is to me, . . . that it is to every noble and generous mind. But you — wretch! you could creep through the world unaffected by its various disgraces, its ineffable miseries, its constantly accumulating masses of crime and sorrow ; you could live and enjoy yourself, while the noble-minded are betrayed — while nameless and birthless villains tread on the neck of the brave and the long descended; you could enjoy yourself like a butcher's dog in the shambles, fattening on garbage, while the slaughter of the oldest and best went on around you ! This enjoyment you shall not live to partake of ' You shall die, base dog.” Ch. xxxi. True to her word, Helen MacGregor had Morris thrown over a precipice, into a lake.

At the re- quest of his friend, Will Tresham, Frank writes his autobiography, entitled “Rob Roy.” The story of the romance, experiences and adventures of his eventful life is told in an engaging and thrilling style. Francis was a young nian of refined mature, high spirit and cultivated tastes. His education and inclinations made him adverse to mercantile life, and this repugnance to business led to an estrange- ment between himself and father. Frank was banished to Osbaldi- stone Hall to woo the muses at his leisure, and his cousin Rashleigh was taken into the counting-house in his place. At the Hall he met Diana Vernon, a Catholic Jacobite, and he became her companion, instructor and lover. The knowledge that her father had destined her for a convent, did not diminish the ardor of his suit. In pain and remorse he hears of his father’s financial troubles, and resolves to extricate him from his difficulties. Diana was his helping ally, but Frank was tortured by jealousy and doubts. He had continually to combat Rashleigh's intrigues and malice. Through filial affec- tion, Frank endured harassing perplexities and appalling dangers, and saved “Osbaldistone and Tresham ” from ruin. A reconciliav. tion between father and son resulted. He engaged in suppressing the rebellion of 1715, and succeeded to the title and estate of his uncle, Sir Hildebrand Osbaldistone, and was, at length, married to Diana Vernon. See OSBALDISTONE (HILDEBRAND, RASHLEIGH and WILLIAM); Rob Roy; DIANA WERNoN. Osbaldistone, Sir Hildebrand. A Northumbrian Jacobite. He had been knighted by James II, and had lived ever since in retire- ment, on account of his politics. He was a blunt sportsman, but convivial, kind-hearted and hospitable. He had six sons. A man aged about sixty, in a hunting suit . . . which had been tarnished by many a November and December storm. . . . Notwithstanding his rusticity, however, Sir Hildebrand retained much of the exterior of a gentleman, and ap- peared among his sons as the remains of a Corinthian pillar, defaced and over- grown with moss and lichen, might have looked if contrasted with the rough unhewn masses of upright stones in Stonhenge, or any other Druidical temple. Ch. vi. He was complicated in the rebellion of 1715, and friendly influ- ROB ROY. 129 ence saved him from a trial for high treason. This rash enterprise, together with the reckless debauchery of his sons, nearly impover- ished him. He was left childless in his old age, with the exception of Rashleigh, whom he disinherited on account of his political treachery. Five of his sons were dissolute, and the youngest was villainous. His nephew, Francis, was his heir. He seemed to me completely worn out and broken down by fatigues of body and distress of mind, and rather seemed to cease to exist than to die of any posi- tive struggle. Ch. xxxvii.

See SIR HILDEBRAND OSBALDISTONE. Osbaldistone, Rashleigh. Sir Hildebrand Osbaldistone's young- est son. He was a wily Jacobite conspirator, and had been edu- cated for the Catholic priesthood. While acting as instructor to his kinswoman, Diana Vernon, he attempted her seduction. Through his fear of her virtuous resentment, Diana was able to control and thwart many of his villainous schemes. His character was in direct contrast to that of his sport-loving father and brothers. Diana Vernon said: “He’s a mighty hunter, but it's after the fashion of Nimrod, and his game is man.” Ch. vii. He was sensual, grasping and malicious, but was brilliant in con- versation, and fascinating in his manners. Upon his uncle's offer of a clerkship in the counting-house of “Osbaldistone and Tresh- am,” he yielded his dreams of ecclesiastical advancement for the more tangible realities of commerce. He fled with the valuable assets of the firm, which he was compelled to restore, and was dis- inherited by his father because he had betrayed the Jacobite inter- ests. His appearance was not in itself prepossessing. He was of low stature. . . . Bashleigh, though strong in person, was bull-necked, and cross-made, and from some injury in his youth had an imperfection in his gait, so much resembling an absolute halt, that many alleged that it formed the obstacle to his taking or- ders; the Church of Rome, as is well known, admitting none to the clerical pro- fession who labour under any personal deformity. Others, however, ascribed 130 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. this unsightly defect to a mere awkward habit, and contended that it did not amount to a personal disqualification from holy orders. The features of Rash- leigh were such, as having looked upon, we in vain wish to banish from our memory, to which they recur as objects of painful curiosity, although we dwell upon them with a feeling of dislike and even of disgust. It was not the actual plainness of his face, taken separately from the meaning, which made this strong impression. His features were, indeed, irregular, but they were by no means vulgar; and his keen dark eyes and shaggy eyebrows redeemed his face from the charge of common-place ugliness. But there was in these eyes an ex- pression of art and design, and, on provocation, a ferocity tempered by caution, which nature had made obvious to the most ordinary physiognomist, perhaps with the same intention thäf she has given the rattle to the poisonous snake. As if to compensate him for these disadvantages of exterior, Rashleigh Osbaldi- stone was possessed of a voice the most soft, mellow and rich in its tones that I ever heard, and was at no loss for language of every sort suited to so fine an organ. . . . My . . . kinsman would make an instant conquest of a mistress whose ears alone were to judge his cause. Ch. vi. Rashleigh hated his cousin, Francis, who had assisted at expos- ing his duplicity and crime, and he especially resented Diana Wer- mon's preference for Francis. Rashleigh was killed in a treacherous attack which he made upon Francis and the Vernons. He said to Francis: “In love, in ambition, in the paths of interest, you have crossed and blighted me at every turn. . . . My very patrimony has become yours; . . . may the curse of a dying man cleave to it.” Ch. xxxix. Ch. v, vi, viii, x, xi, xii, xiii, xvi, xvii, xxv, xxxvii, xxxix.

In his youth he had been disin- FOB R.O.Y. 131 herited in favor of his younger brother, Sir Hildebrand. Unaided, he had accumulated an immense fortune. There was a temporary estrangement between himself and son on account of the young man's disinclination to business. Mr. Osbaldistone was brought to grief and mortification by the machinations of his nephew, Rash- leigh, which for a short time imperiled the credit of Osbaldistone and Tresham. Mr. Osbaldistone was of efficient service to the gov- ernment in suppressing the rebellion of 1715. Francis said to Rashleigh: “You will find in my father a man who has followed the paths of thriving more for the exercise they afforded to his talents than for the love of the gold with which they are strewed. His active mind would have been happy in any . situation which gave it a scope for exertion, though that exertion had been its sole reward. But his wealth has accumulated, because moderate and frugal in his habits, no new sources of expense have occurred to dispose of his increasing income. He is a man who hates dissimulation in others; never practises it him- Self; and is peculiarly alert in discovering motives through the colouring of lan- guage. Himself silent by habit, he is readily disgusted by great talkers. . . . He is severely strict in the duties of religion; but you have no reason to fear his in- terference with yours, for he regards tolerance as a sacred principle of political economy. But if you have any Jacobitical partialities, . . . you will do well to suppress them in his presence, as well as the least tendency to the high-flying, or Tory principles, for he holds both in utter detestation. For the rest, his word is his own bond, and must be the law of all who act under him. He will fail in his duty to no one, and will permit no one to fail towards him; to cultivate his favour, you must execute his commands, instead of echoing his sentiments. His greatest failings arise out of prejudices connected with his own profession, or rather his exclusive devotion to it, which makes him see little worthy of praise or attention, unless it be in some way connected with commerce.” Ch. xi.

Five of her cousins were illiterate and debauched, and the sixth, Rash- leigh, had plotted for her ruin. Her father was in concealment at Osbaldistone Hall, and she feared that Rashleigh would betray him, and was, therefore, compelled, in a measure, to restrain her indig- nation against him. She was possessed of bewildering beauty and a carefully cultivated intellect, together with a perfect self-posses- sion and presence of mind. She disdained falsehood and had a contempt for ceremony, and endured cheerfully and firmly the perplexities of her position. In her manner there was mingled a queenly dignity and a charming frankness. “A vision . . . passed me, . . . the loveliness of whose very striking features was enhanced by the animation of the chase and the glow of the exercise, mounted on a beautiful horse, jet black, unless where he was flecked by spots of the snow-white foam which embossed his bridle. She wore . . . a riding habit. Her long black hair streamed on the breeze, having, in the hurry of the chase, escaped from the ribbon which bound it.” Ch. v. ROJB ROY. 133 When questioned by Frank concerning her studies, she said: “Science and history are my principal favourites, but I also study poetry and classics. . . . Rashleigh . . . taught me Greek and Latin, as well as most of the languages of modern Europe. I assure you there has been some pains taken in my cqucation, although I can neither sew a tucker, nor work cross-stitch, nor make a pudding, nor, as the vicar's fat wife, with as much truth as elegance, good-will and politeness, was pleased to say in my behalf, do any other useful thing in the varsal world. . . . As I learned out of doors to ride a horse, and bri- dle and saddle him in case of necessity, and to clear a five-barred gate, and fire a gun without winking. and all other of those masculine accomplishments that my brute cousins rum mad after, I wanted, like my rational cousin, to read Greek and Latin within doors.” Ch. x. Besides the progress which Miss Vernon, whose powerful mind readily adopted every means of information offered to it, had made in more abstract science, I found her no contemptible linguist, and well acquainted both with ancient and modern literature. Were it not that strong talents will often go far- thest when they seem to have least assistance, it would be almost incredible to tell the rapidity of Miss Vernon's progress in knowledge; and it was still more extraordinary when her stock of mental acquisition from books was compared with her total ignorance of actual life. It seemed as if she saw and knew every- thing except what passed in the world around her, and I believe it was this very ignorance and simplicity of thinking upon ordinary subjects, so strikingly con- trasted with her fund of general knowledge and information, which rendered her conversation so irresistibly fascinating, and riveted the attention to whatever she said or did; since it was absolutely impossible to anticipate whether her next word or action was to display the most acute perception or the most pro- found simplicity. Ch. xiii. In accordance with a family arrangement, she was destined for the convent in case she refused to be the bride of one of Sir Hilde- brand Osbaldistone's sons. Rashleigh and Thorncliff were both her suitors. When Francis Osbaldistone declared his love for her she thus answered him: “I am, by solemn contract, the bride of heaven, unless I could prefer being wedded to villainy in the person of Rashleigh Osbaldistone, or brutality in that of his brother. I am, therefore, the bride of heaven — betrothed to the convent from the cradle. To me, therefore, these raptures are misapplied.” Ch. xvi. Diana accompanied her father during the perils and fatigues of the rebellion of 1715. In reward for her dutiful care, Sir Frederick left taking the veil optional with herself. At the close of his auto- biography Francis Osbaldistone says: “How I sped in my wooing, Will Tresham, I need not tell you. You know, too, how long and happily I lived with Diana. You know how I lamented her; but you do not know — you cannot know — how she deserved her husband's sor- row.” Ch. xxxix. Ch.

IVAN HO E. A ROMANCE, A. R. G. U M E N T. HE whole tale is a dazzling succession of feudal pictures; the out- law life of the greenwood, the Norman donjon, the lists, the tournament, the stake, pass before our eyes with a splendour and animation that are truly magical. Shaw's Eng. Literature. The period of narrative adopted was the reign of Richard I, not only as abound- ing with characters whose very names were sure to attract general attention, but as affording a striking contrast betwixt the Saxons, by whom the soil was culti- vated, and the Normans, who still reigned in it as conquerors. Int. (1830). Scott, in his Dedicatory Epistle, says: “I may have confused the manners of two or three centuries. . . . Those whose extensive researches have given them the means of judging my backslidings with more severity, will probably be lenient, in proportion to their knowledge of the difficulty of my task.” In this Dedicatory Epistle to Doctor Dryasdust, Scott uses the mom de plume of Lawrence Templeton. The Rev. Doctor Dryasdust is an imaginary antiquarian, who introduces a number of the Waverley Novels with prefatory letters, and writes the conclusion to Redgaunt- let. He is prosy, literal and critical. Abdalla. Bois-Guilbert's Saracen attendant. Ch. ii. Allan-a-Dale. Robin Hood's minstrel. A brisk young fellow, dressed in a green cassock embroidered with gold, and having at his heels a stout lad bearing a harp upon his back, which betrayed his vocation. The minstrel seemed of no vulgar rank, for besides the splendour of his gayly-broidered doublet, he wore around his neck a silver chain, by which hung the wrest, or key, with which he tuned his harp. On his right arm was a silver plate, which, instead of bearing, as usual, the cognizance or badge of the baron to whose family he belonged, had barely the word Sherwood engraved upon it. Ch. xliii.

A descendant of Edward the C fessor, to whom the Saxons paid great homage. He lived a life drunken debauchery, and was bulky in frame and sluggish in intel- lect. From the slowness of his resolution he was called Athelstame the Unready. Through the cupidity of priests he barely escaped burial alive. Ch. vii, viii, xii, xiv, xviii, xix., xxi, xxvi, xxvii, xxxi, xlii, xliv. See Row ENA. - Aymer. Prior of Jorvaulx Abbey. An ecclesiastic of high rank; his dress was that of a Cistercian monk, but composed of materials much finer than the rules of that order admitted. . . . His countenance bore as little marks of self-denial as his habit indicated con- tempt of worldly splendour. His features might have been called good, had there not lurked under the pent-house of his eye that sly cpicurean twinkle which indicates the cautious voluptuary. . . . His frce and jovial temper, and the readiness with which he granted absolution from all ordinary delinquencies, rendered him a favourite among the mobility and principal gentry, to several of whom he was allied by birth, being of distinguished Norman family. . . . His knowledge of books, however superficial, was sufficient to impress upon their ignorance respect for his supposed learning; and the gravity of his deportment and language, with the high tone which he exerted in setting forth the authority of the church and priesthood, impressed them no less with an opinion of his sanctity. . . . He was generous, and . . . relieved the distresses of the op- pressed. If Prior Aymer rode hard in the chase, and remained long at a ban- quet, if Prior Aymer was seen, at the early peep of dawn, to enter the postern. of the Abbey, as he glided home from some rendezvous which had occupied the hours of darkness, men only shrugged their shoulders and reconciled themselves to his irregularities by recollecting that the same was practised by many of his brethren, who had no redeeming qualities whatsoever to atone for them.

Grand Master of the Templars. He ac- cused Rebecca, the Jewess, of sorcery, and after her deliverance from death at the stake, King Richard banished Beaumanoir and his Templars for treasonable conspiracies. A man advanced in age, as was testified by his long grey beard and the shaggy grey eyebrows, overhanging eyes of which, however, years had been unable to quench the fire. A formidable warrior, his thin and severe features retained the soldier's fierceness of expression; an ascetic bigot, they were no less marked by the emaciation of abstinence, and the spiritual pride of the self- satisfied devotee. Yet with these severer traits of physiognomy, there was mixed somewhat striking and noble, arising, doubtless, from the great part which his high office called upon him to act among monarchs and princes, and from the habitual exercise of supreme authority over the valiant and high-born knights, who were united by the rules of the Order. . . . His white mantle was shaped with severe regularity, according to the rule of Saint Bernard himself, being composed of what was then called Burrel cloth, exactly fitted to the size - 6% THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. the wearer, and bearing on the left shoulder the octangular cross peculiar to he Order, formed of red cloth. . . . In respcct to his age, the Grand Master, as permitted by the rules, wore his doublet lined and trimmed with the softest lambskin, dressed with the wool outwards, which was the nearest approach he could regularly make to use of fur, then the greatest luxury of dress. In his hand he bore that singular abacus, or staff of office, with which Templars are usually represented, having at the upper end a round plate, on which was en- graved the cross of the Order, inscribed within a circle, or orle, as heralds term it. Ch. xxxv. Ch. xxxv, xxxvi, xxxvii, xxxviii, xliii, xliv. See REBECCA. Ben Israel, Nathan. A Jewish physician. Ch. xxxv, xxxviii. M. Bohun, Henry. Earl of Essex, Lord High Constable of England. Ch. xliv. Bois-Guilbert, Brian de. A Preceptor of the Order of Templars. He had been a celebrated Crusader, and was an adherent of Prince John. He was vanquished in the tournament at Ashby by Ivanhoe. Early disappointed in love, he became a Templar, and led a life of license and ambition. So distinguished and powerful had he become, that he was the most prominent aspirant for the Grand Mastership, in case of the aged Beaumanoir's death. Over his complete suit of armor he wore the scarlet mantle of his order. A man past forty, thin, strong, tall and muscular; an athletic figure, which long fatigue and constant exercise seemed to have left none of the softer part of the human form, having reduced the whole to brawn, bones, and sinews, which had sustained a thousand toils, and were ready to dare a thousand more. His head was covered with a scarlet cap faced with fur, of that kind the French call 7mortier, from its resemblance to the shape of an inverted mortar. His counte- nance . . . was calculated to impress a degree of awe, if not of fear, upon Strangers. High ſcatures, naturally strong and powerfully expressive, had been burnt almost into negro blackness by constant exposure to the tropical sun, and might, in their ordinary state, be said to slumber after the storm had passed away; but the projection of the veins of the forehead, the readiness with which the upper lip and its thick black mustaches quivered upon the slightest emotion, plainly intimated that the tempest might be again and easily awakened. His keen, piercing dark eyes, told in every glance a history of difficulties subdued, and dangers dared, and seemed to challenge opposition to his wishes, for the pleasure of sweeping it from his road by a determined exertion of courage and of Will; a deep scar on his brow gave additional sternness to his countenance, and a sinister expression to one of his eyes, which had been slightly injured on the same occasion, and of which the vision, though perfect, was in a slight and partial degree distorted. Ch. ii. Disguised as an outlaw, he made a captive of the beautiful Jewess, Rebecca, and confined her in the Castle of Torquilstone. Her heroic virtue thwarted his villainy. He -became possessed with but one object, and that was to persuade her to accept him as her lover. He fled with her to the Preceptory of Templestowe, and there she IVAN HOE. 139 was condemned to death at the stake for sorcery. He was commanded to appear in the lists as the Temple's champion. In horror and re- morse, he offered to abandon all his ambitious dreams and to become an outcast from his order, if Rebecca would fly with him. As she sat surrounded by faggots, he said: “Mount thee behind me on my steed, . . . in one short hour is pursuit and enquiry far behind. A new world of pleasure opens to thee — to me a new career of fame. Let them speak the doom, . . . and crase the name of Bois- Guilbert from their list of monastic slaves. I will wash out with blood whatever blot they may dare to cast on my escutcheon.” “Tempter,” said Rebecca, “ begone ! . . . surrounded as I am by foes, I hold thee as my worst and most deadly enemy.” Ch. xliii. At the beginning of his combat with Rebecca's champion, Ivan- hoe, he fell dead in the lists. . Unscathed by the lance of his enemy, he had died a victim to the violence of his own-coſterding påssions. , Ch. xliii.

A wealthy Saxon, who hoped to see his race's ascendency again established. He even disinherited his son, whose love for Rowena interfered with these hopes. King Richard at length won Cedric's allegiance. Cedric lived in Saxon state at his mansion of Rotherwood. He was not above the middle stature, but broad-shouldered, long-armed and powerfully made, like one accustomed to endure the fatigue of war or of the chase; his face was broad, with large blue eyes, open and frank features, fine teeth, and a well-formed head. altogether expressive of that sort of good hu- mour which often lodges with a sudden and hasty temper. . . . His long yellow hair was equally divided upon the top of his head and upon his brow, and combed down on each side to the length of his shoulders; it had but little ten- dency to grey, although Cedric was approaching to his sixtieth year. His dress was a tunic of forest green, furred at the throat and cuffs with what is called minever; a kind of fur . . . formed of the skin of the grey squirrel. This doublet hung unbuttoned over a close dress of scarlet, which sat lightly on his body; he had breeches of the same which did not reach below the lower part of the thigh, leaving the knee exposed. His feet had sandals . . . secured in front with golden clasps. He had bracelets of gold upon his arms, and a broad collar of the same precious metal around his neck. About his waist he wore a richly-studded belt, in which was stuck a short, straight, two-edged sword with a sharp point, so disposed as to hang almost perpendicularly by his side. Ch. iii.

His beard was closely shaven, his doublet reached to the middle of his leg, and the girdle which secured it, and at the same time supported his ponderous sword, was embroidered and embossed with gold-work. We have already noticed the extravagant fashion of the shoes at this period, and the points of Maurice de Bracy's might have challenged the prize of extravagance with the gayest, being turned up and twisted like the horns of a ram. Such was the dress of a gallant of the period; and in the present instance that effect was aided by a handsome person and good demeanour of the wearer, whose anners partook alike of the grace of the courtier **** the soldier. h. xxiii. - - " He made a captive of the beautiful Saxon heiress, Rowena, and tº to force her to marry him by threats against the safety of her prisoned betrothed.

He was vanquished in the Ashby tournament by Ivanhoe and King Richard. While Ivanhoe was in Palestine he held his baromy by Prince John's permission. A tall and strong man, whose life had been spent in public war or private feuds and broils, and who had hesitated at no means of extending his feudal power; had features corresponding to his character, and which strongly expressed the fiercer and more malignant passions. This formidable baron was clad in a leathern doublet, fitted close to his body, which was frayed and soiled with the stains of his armour. He had no weapon excepting his poniard at his belt, which seemed to counterbalance the weight of the bunch of rusty keys that hung at his right side. Ch. xxxii. De Bracy and Bois-Guilbert brought their captives (Athelstame, Cedric, Isaac, Rebecca and Rowena) to his Castle of Torquilstone. Front de Boeuf claimed the Jew, Isaac, as his property, and said to him: e “This dungeon is no place for trifling. Prisoners ten thousand times morc distinguished than thou have died within these walls, and their fate hath never been known . . . Seest thou, Isaac. . . . the range of iron bars above that glow- ing charcoal?—on that warm couch thou shalt lie stripped of thy clothes. . . One of these slaves shall maintain the fire beneath theo, while the other shall anoint thy wretched limbs with oil, lest the roast should burn. Now choose betwixt such a scorching bed and the payment of a thousand pounds of silver; . . thou hast no option.” Ch. xxii. 142 THIE WAVERI, EY DICTIONARY. The siege and capture of the castle prevented the execution of this threat. He was mortally wounded, and perished amidst the flames of Torquilstone, haunted with the memory of his crimes and taunted by Ulrica, the victim of his family's sin.

Cedric's swine-herd; faithful to his master, and affection- ately attached to Ivanhoe. He was impatient of thralldom, and was at length made a freeman. He Had a stern, savage and wild aspect. His garment was of the simplest form imaginable, being a close jacket with sleeves, composed of the tanned skin of some animal, on which hair had been originally left, but which had been worn off in several places. . . . This primeval vestment reached from the throat to the knees; . . . there was no wider opening at the collar than to admit the passage of the head. . . . Sandals bound with thongs, made of boar’s hide, pro- tected the feet, and a roll of thin leather was trained artificially around the legs, , and ascending above the calf, left the knees bare like that of a Scottish High- lander. To make the jacket set yet more close to the body, it was gathered at the middle by a broad belt, secured by a brass buckle, to one side of which was attached a sort of Script, and to the other a ram's horn accoutred with & mouthpiece for the purpose of blowing. In the same belt was stuck one of those long, broad, sharp-pointed and two-edged knives, with a buck's horn handle, which were fabricated in the neighbourhood, and bore at this early pe- riod the name of Sheffield whittle. The man had no covering upon his head, which was only defended by his own thick hair, matted and twisted together, and scorched by the influence of the sun into a rusty, dark-red colour, forming a contrast with the overgrown beard on his cheeks, which was rather of a yellow or amber hue. One part of his dress . . . is too remarkable to be suppressed; . it was a brass ring, resembling a dog’s collar, but without any opening, soldered fast round his neck, so loose as to form no impediment to breathing, yet so tight as to be incapable of being removed excepting by the use of a file. On this singular gorget was engraved, in Saxon characters, an inscription of the ‘following purport: “Gurth, the son of Beowulph, is the born thrall of Cedric of Rotherwood.” His aspect was bent on the ground, with an appearance of deep dejection; . . . the fire which occasionally sparkled in his red eye man- ifested that there slumbered, under the appearance of sullen despondency, a Sense of oppression and a disposition to resistance.

He was instrumental in delivering the prisoners from Torquilstone Castle, and prevented King Richard's assassination: He . . . extended his hand to Robin Hood, assured him of his full pardon and future favour, as well as his firm resolution to restrain the tyrannical exer- cise of the forest rights. . . . But Richard’s good intentions towards the bold outlaw were frustrated by the King's untimely death, and the Charter of the For- est was extorted from the unwilling hands of King John. Ch. xli.

Ch. v. - The Jew had a constant struggle with his avaricious nature, but had a devoted and redeeming love for his daughter, Rebecca. They were both imprisoned at Torquilstone. Notwithstanding threats of torture, he refused to pay any ransom unless Rebecca was delivered to him “in safety and honor.” To save her he would have endured any agony. He afterward sought protection for himself and daugh- ter in a foreign land. Ch. V, vi, vii, viii., ix, x, xix., xxi, xxii, xxviii, XXXii, XXXiii, XXXV, xxxviii, xliv. See FRONT DE BoEUF; REBECCA. Ivanhoe. Cedric's son ; a handsome Saxon knight of twenty-five, who had been disinherited by his father on account of his love for the Lady Rowena. He was a favorite with King Richard, and won great renown in Palestine. He returned to England disguised as a Palmer, and afterward engaged in the tournament at Ashby. He . . . did not greatly exceed the middle size, and seemed rather slender than strongly made. His suit of armour was formed of steel, richly inlaid with gold, and the device on his shield was a young oak tree pulled up by the roots, with the Spanish word Desdáchado, signifying Disinherited. . . . The dexterity with which he managed his steed, and something of youthful grace which he displayed in his manner, won him the favour of the multitude. Ch. viii. 144 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. He vanquished all the combatants, and was crowned the cham- pion. He was wounded in the tournament, and was detained as a prisoner at Torquilstone Castle. Wilfred of Ivanhoe was the flower of chivalry, courteous and generous, ever ready to relieve distress and to right wrong, loyal to his sovereign and his lady, dauntless in war and wise in council. King Richard reconciled Cedric to Ivan- hoe's marriage with Rowena. - The nuptials of our hero, thus formally approved by his father, were cele- brated in the most august of temples, the noble Minster of York. The King himself attended. . . . The church gave her full solemnities, graced with all the splendour which she of Rome knows how to apply with such brilliant effect. . . . Ivanhoe distinguished himself in the service of Richard, and was graced with farther marks of the royal favour. Ch. xliv.

Cedric's cup-bearer. Ch. iii, iv, v, xviii. Rebecca. A Jewess; the daughter of Isaac of York. The figure of Rebecca might, indeed, have compared with the proudest beau- ties of England. . . . Her form was exquisitely symmetrical, and was shown to advantage by a sort of eastern dress, which she wore according to the fashion of the females of her nation. Her turban of yellow silk suited weli with the dark- ness of her complexion. The brilliancy of her eyes, the superb arch of her eye- brows, her well formed aquiline nose, her teeth as white as pearl, and the profu- sion of her sable tresses, which, each arranged in its own little spiral of twisted curls, fell down upon as much of a lovely neck and bosom as a simarre of the richest Persian silk, exhibiting flowers in their natural colours embossed upon a purple ground, permitted to be visible, all these constituted a combination of loveliness which yielded not to the most beautiful of the maidens who surround- ed her. It is true that of the golden and pearl-studded clasps which closed her vest from the throat to the waist the three uppermost were left unfastened, on account of the heat, which something enlarged the prospect to which we allude. A diamond necklace, with pendants of inestimable value, were by this means also made more conspicuous. The feather of an ostrich, fastened in her turban by an agraffe set with brilliants, was another distinction of the beautiful Jewess, scoffed and sneered at by the proud dames who sat above her, but secretly en- vied by those who affected to deride them. Ch. vii. Rebecca was as generous as her father was avaricious. The wounded Ivanhoe was nursed at Isaac's house after the tournament. Their traveling party were detained as prisoners at Torquilstone Castle, and she described to her fellow-captive, Ivanhoe, the siege from her dangerous position at the loop-hole. She devotedly loved the Knight, whom she so carefully nursed, but she well knew that her passion was hopeless, on account of the prejudice against those of her faith, and also Ivanhoe's attachment to the Lady Rowena. Rebecca offered to the Templar, Bois-Guilbert, any sum he should sº demand as her ransom, but he refused to liberate her: “What wouldst thou have of me,” said Rebecca, “if not my wealth? . . You are a Christian — I am a Jewess; our union were contrary to the laws alike of the church and the synagogue.” Not if she were the Queen of Sheba. . . . Marriage were an enduring crime on the part of a Templar; but what lesser folly I may practise I shall speedily be absolved from at the next preceptory of our order. . . . Thou art the captive of * my bow and spear, . . . nor will I abate an inch of my right, or abstain from taking by violencu what thou refusest to entreaty or necessity. . . . Submit to thy fate, embrace our religion, and thou shalt go forth in such state that many a Norman lady shall yield as well in pomp as in beauty to the favourite of the best lance among the defenders of the Temple.” 7 146 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. “Submit to my fate?” said Rebecca; “and, sacred heaven, to what a fate Embrace thy religion . And what religion can it be that harbours such a villain? Thou, the best lance of the Templars | Craven knight ! Forsworn priest . . . I defy thee. The God of Abraham's promise hath opened an escape to his daughter, even from this abyss of infamy.” As she spoke she threw open the latticed window which led to the bartizan, and in an instant after stood on the very verge of the parapet, with not the slightest screen between her and the tremen- dous depth below. . . . “Remain where thou art, proud Templar, or, at thy choice, advance . One foot nearer and I plunge myself from the precipice; my body shall be crushed out of the very form of humanity upon the stones of that courtyard ere it become the victim of thy brutality . " “Itebecca, she who could prefer death to dishonour must have a proud and powerful soul. Mine thou must be — Nay, start not,” he added. “It must be with thine own consent and on thine own terms.” Ch. xxiv. From the flames of the Castle of Torquilstone the Templar carried Rebecca to the Preceptory of Templestowe, where he expected to prosecute his suit in safety. The bigoted Grand Master tried and convicted her of sorcery on the grounds of her religion, her medical skill and Bois-Guilbert's infatuation. She was condemned to death at the stake, but allowed a trial by combat. She chose Ivanhoe as her champion, and the Temple was to be represented by Bois-Guil- bert. In vain Bois-Guilbert prayed her to fly with him, promising to win her a brilliant future. Her rectitude of principle and loyalty to her religion and her own heart sustained her while surrounded by temptations and threatened by an awful death. Bois-Guilbert said: “Would to heaven we had never met, or that thou hadst been noble in birth and Christian in faith ! . . . I could even wish myself one of thy own degraded nation; my hand conversant with ingots and skekels, instead of spear and shield; my head bent down before each petty noble, and my look only terrible to the shivering and bankrupt debtor — this could I wish, Rebecca, to be near to thee in life, and to escape the fearful share I must have in thy death.” “Thou hast spoken the Jew,” said Rebecca, “as the persecution of such as thou has made him. . . . Know, proud knight, we mumber names among us to which your boasted northern nobility is as the gourd compared with the cedar — names that ascend far back to those high times when the Divine Presence shook the mercy seat between the cherubim, and which derived their splendour from no carthly prince, but from the awful voice which bade their fathers be nearest of the congregation to the vision — such were the primces of the house of Jacob.” Rebecca's colour rose as she boasted the ancient glories of her race, but faded as she added, with a sigh, “Such were the princes of Judah, now such no more They are trampled down like the shorn grass, and mixed with mire of the ways. Yet there are those among them who shame not such high descent, and of such shall be the daughter of Isaac the son of Adonikam Farewell ! I envy not thy blood-won honours — I envy not thy barbarous descent from northern hea- thens — I envy not thy faith, which is ever in thy mouth, but never in thy heart or in thy practice.” Ch. xxxix. IVAN HOE. The fatal day came. The execution of her sentence was delayed, at Rebecca's request, several hours, to allow time for her champion to arrive. Calm and trusting, she waited, and Ivanhoe, at length, came. Bois-Guilbert died from the excitement of the terrible occa- sion, and Rebecca was pronounced free and guiltless, Rebecca saw and heard nothing. She was locked in the arms of her aged father, giddy and almost senseless with the rapid change of circumstances around her. But one word from Isaac at length recalled her scattered feelings. “Let us go,” he said, “my dear daughter, my recovered treasure — let us go to throw ourselves at the feet of the good youth.” “Not so,” said Rebecca, “O mo,- no — no. I must not at this moment darc to speak to him. Alas! I should say more than No, my father, let us instantly leave this evil place. . . . For the sake of thy beloved Rachel . . . grant me my request — not now.” Ch. xliv. Before Rebecca and her father left England, she called upon Ivan- hoe's bride, Rowena, and expressed to her the gratitude she felt for Ivanhoe's championship, and as a parting gift gave her a casket of magnificent diamonds, saying that she would never wear them again. Rowena was touched by her dignity and melancholy, and the remembrance of her kindness to Ivanhoe, so she urged her to remain with them, and become a Christian. Rebecca answered: “That may not be. I may not change, the faith of my fathers like a garment unsuited for the climate in which I seek to dwell. . . . Since the time of Abra- ham downwards, have been women who have devoted their thoughts to heaven, and their actions to works of kindness. . . . Among these will Rebecca be numbered. Say this to thy lord, should he chance to enquire after the fate of her whose life he saved.” There was an involuntary tremor on Rebecca's voice, and a tenderness of accent, which perhaps betrayed more than she would willingly have expressed. She hastened to bid Rowena adieu. . . . The fair Saxon related the singular conference to her husband, on whose mind it made a deep impression. . . . Yet it would be enquiring too curiously to ask whether the recollection of Rebecca's beauty and magnanimity did not recur to his mind more frequently than the fair descendant of Alfred might altogether have approved.

He returned to England, after a long absence in Palestine, at a time when his brother's conspiracy against him was the most formidable. Never- theless, he performed remarkable feats of valor at the Ashby tournament, disguised as The Black Sluggard and The Knight of the Fetterlock. As The Black Knight he wanders in Sherwood Forest and revels with Friar Tuck. He conducts the successful THE WAVERLEY DICTION A.R.Y. siege against Torquilstone Castle, and lingers with Robin Hood and his outlaws, although he has barely escaped assassination. More happy, probably, in this chance meeting with Robin IIood and his foresters than he would have been in again assuming his royal state, and pre- siding over a splendid circle of peers and nobles. Novelty in society and adven- ture were the zest of life to Richard Coeur de Lion, and it had its highest relish When enhanced by dangers encountered and surmounted. In the lion-hearted King, the brilliant but useless character of a knight of romance was in a great measure realized and revived, and the personal glory which he acquired by his own deeds of arms was far more dear to his excited imagination than that which a course of policy and wisdom would have spread around his government. Accordingly, his reign was like the course of a brilliant and rapid meteor, which shoots along the face of heaven, shedding around an unnecessary and porten- tous light, which is instantly swallowed up by universal darkness; his feats of chivalry furnishing themes for bards and minstrels, but affording mone of those solid benefits to his country on which history loves to pause, and hold up as an example to posterity. But in his present company Richard showed to the greatest possible advantage. He was gay, good-humoured, and fond of man- hood in every rank of life. Ch. xli. Ch. xii, Xvi, xvii, XX, XXV, xxix., xxxi, xxxii, xxxiii, x1, xli., xlii, xliv. See ROBIN HOOD; PRINCE JOHN; also KING RICHARD, in “The Talisman.” Rowena, Lady. A beautiful Saxon heiress. She was Cedric's ward, and a descendant from Alfred. Cedric was anxious for her marriage with Athelstane, hoping in this way to unite the contend- ing factions, and to reëstablish, the Saxon monarchy. He banished his son Ivanhoe from his home, on account of the love between that knight and Rowena. Formed in the best proportions of her sex. Rowena was tall in stature, yet not so much so as to attract observation on account of superior height. Her complexion was exquisitely fair; but the noble cast of her head and features prevented the insipidity which sometimes attaches to fair beauties. Her clear blue eye, which sat enshrined beneath a graceful eyebrow of brown, sufficiently marked to give expression to the forehead, seemed capable to kindle as well as melt, to command as well as to beseech. If mildness were the more natural expression of such a combination of features, it was plain that, in the present instance, the exercise of habitual superiority, and the reception of general homage, had given to the Saxon lady a loftier character, which mingled with, and qualified, that bestowed by nature. Her profuse hair, of a colour betwixt brown and flaxen, was arranged in a fanciful and graceful manner in numerous ring- lets, to form which art had probably aided nature. These locks were braided with gems, and, being worn at full length, intimated the noble and free-born condition of the maiden. A golden chain, to which was attached a small reli- quary of the same metal, hung round her neck. She wore bracelets on her arms, which were bare. Her dress was an undergown and kirtle of pale sea- green silk, over which hung a long loose robe, which reached to the ground, having very wide sleeves, which came down, however, very little below the elbow. This robe was of crimson, and manufactured out of the very finest IVANIHOE, 149 wool. A veil of silk, interwoven with gold, was attached to the upper part of it, which could be, at the wearer's pleasure, either drawn over the face and bosom after the Spanish fashion, or disposed as a sort of drapery round the shoulders. Ch. iv. At the tournament she was chosen the Queen of Love and Beauty, and when she crowned the victor she found him to be her long absent and wounded lover, Ivanhoe. On her return from the tournament she was captured and confined in the Castle of Tor- quilstone by the enamoured De Bracy; but a speedy rescue termi- nated her persecution. She had no belief or interest in the throne which Cedric had hoped for her, and she so detested Athelstame that she resolved to take the veil sooner than marry him. Ivanhoe . and Rowena were, at length married. Ivanhoe . . . lived long and happily with Rowena, for they were attached to each other by the bonds of early affection, and they loved each other the more from the recollection of the obstacles which had impeded their union.

His close-shaven crown, surrounded by a circle of stiff, curled, black hair, had something the appearance of a parish pinfold begirt by its high hedge. The features expressed nothing of monastic austerity or ascetic privations; on the contrary, it was a bold, bluff countenance, with broad, black eyebrows, a well-turned forehead, and cheeks round and ver- millon as those of a trumpeter, from which descended a long and curly black beard. Such a visage, joined to the brawny frame of the holy man, spoke rather of sirloins and haunches than of pease and pulse. Ch. xvi. King Richard, incognito as The Black Knight, having lost his way in Sherwood Forest, sought the friar's hospitality. With wine, feast- ing and song, they made the night merry. Their conviviality was 150 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. interrupted by Robin Hood, who summoned them to the rescue of the travelers detained at Torquilstone Castle. “I am no longer a shaveling than while my frock is on my back. When I am cased in my green cassock, I will drink, swear, and woo a lass, with any blithe forester,” said the transformed priest. Ch. xx. - In the course of the intimacy between the King and the outlaw they even exchanged “cuffs.” The abashed friar thus refused the King's offer to make him...a yeoman of the royal guard: “My liege,” said the friar, “I humbly crave your pardon; and you would humbly grant my excuse, did you know how the sin of laziness has beset me. Saint Dunstan — may he be gracious to us! — stands quiet in his niche, though I should forget my orisons in killing a fat buck — I stay otit of my cell some- times a night, doing I wot not what — Saint Dunstan never complains — a quiet master he is, and a peaceful, as ever was made of wood. But to be a yeoman in attendance on my sovereign the King—the honour is great, doubtless — yet, if I were to step aside to comfort a widow in one corner, or to kill a deer in an- other, it would be ‘Where is the dog priest?” says one. . . .

See RobTN HooD; RICHARD. Ulrica. A venomous and remorseful old Saxon hag, who was neg- lected and despised by Front de Boeuf, whose mistress she had formerly been. She says to Rebecca : “I was as young, and twice as fair, as thou, when Front de Boeuf, father of this Reginald, and his Normans stormed this castle. My father and his seven sons defended their inheritance from story to story, from chamber to chamber — there was not a room, mot a step of the stair that was not slippery with their blood. They died—they died, every man; and ere their bodies were cold, and ere their blood was dried, I had become the prey and the scorn of the con- queror.” Ch. xxiv. She says to Cedric: “Can the wrinkled, decrepit hag before thee forget she was once the daughter of the noble Thane of Torquilstone? . . . Yes, in these halls, stained with the noble and pure blood of my father and brethren . . . to have lived the paramour of their murderer . . . was to render every breath which I drew of vital air a crime and a curse. . . . Long had the smouldering fire of discord glowed between the tyrant father and his savage son—long had I nursed in se- cret the unnatural hatred, . . . and at his own board fell my oppressor by the hand of his own son. . . . To act as I have acted, to think as I have thought, requires the maddening love of pleasure, mingled with the keen appetite of re- venge, the proud consciousness of power.” Ch. xxvii.

Ch. i. Disguised as a friar, he cunningly and faithfully managed Cedric's escape from Torquilstone Castle, and requested, as a reward for this perilous service, that his friend Gurth should be made a freeman.

THE MONASTERY. A ROMANCE. A. R. G. U M E N T. THE MONASTERY and its sequel, “The Abbot,” are represented as manuscripts given by a Benedictine monk to the Antiquarian, Captain Cuthbert Clutterbuck, of Kennaquhair, who forwards them to the “Author of Waverley” for revision and publication. Captain Clutterbuck, the imaginary editor of “The Monastery,” . . . is described as a character which sometimes occurs in actual society — a person who, having spent his life within the necessary duties of a technical profession, from which he has at length been emancipated, finds himself without any occupation whatever, and is apt to become the prey of ennui, until he discovers some petty subject of investigation commensurate to his talents, the study of which gives him employ- ment in solitude; while the conscious possession of information peculiar to himself adds to his consequence in society. Int. to “The Monastery'' (1830). The celebrated ruins of Melrose Abbey is the scene of the romance — designated as the “Monastery of St. Mary's of Kennaquhair and its dependencies.” The epoch is the Reformation of Queen Mary of Scotland's reign. Avenel, Lady Alice. Mary Avenel's mother. Her castle was depredated by the English borderers, and her daughter's inheritance usurped by Julian Avenel. The Lady of Avenel had been meek and courteous in her prosperity; in adversity, therefore, she met with the greatest sympathy. Ch. iii. Her health failed under the weight of her misfortunes, and she sought consolation in the bible, and died infected, as the monks said, with heretical opinions. Ch. iii, iv, v, viii. See MARY AvH.- NEL; WHITE LADY. Avenel, Julian. A border baron, who seized his niece's estates. He was much dreaded, and lived with a lawless band in the formida- ble castle of Avenel. He was outlawed by both Scotland and Eng- land. He was tall and powerful in frame, and wore a shirt of mail. His countenance was handsome, but had been worn by fatigues and violent passions. 153 154 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. The situation of Julian Avenel, engaged in a variety of feuds, and a party to almost every dark and mysterious transaction which was on foot in that wild and military frontier, required all these precautions for security. His own ambigu- ous and doubtful course of policy had increased these dangers; for he made pro- fessions to both parties in the state. . . . His life was a life of expedients and peril; and while, in pursuit of his interest, he made all the doubles which he thought necessary to attain his object, he often overran his prey, and missed that which he might have gained by observing a straighter course. Ch. xxiii. He was slaim in the defense of the Monastery. Ch. iv, xxiii, xxiv, xxv, xxxvi. See CATHERINE; HENRY WARDEN. Avenel, Mary. Daughter of Alice of Avenel; deprived of her in- heritance by Julian Avenel. She was born on All-Hallows Eve, and was gifted with intuitive understanding of the hidden motives of others, and she had a reputation, besides, for second sight. She was an inmate of Elspeth Glendinning's household, and beloved by both her sons. Edward was her companion in study, but her heart was given to his adventurous brother. During her grief at Halbert's reported death, the White Lady appeared to her and recommended the study of the Bible, which had belonged to Mary's mother, and she soon became a Protestant. Mary Avenel had acquired a demeanour which marked her title to consideration, and effectually checked any attempt at familiarity on the part of those who might be her associates in her present situation, but could not well be termed her equals. She was by mature mild, pensive and contemplative, gentle in disposition, and most placable when accidentally offended; but still she was of a retired and reserved habit. . . . Something, also, had transpired concerning her being born on All-Hallow Eve, and the powers with which that circumstance was supposed to invest her over the invisible world. And from all these particulars combined, the youtng men and women of the Halidome used to distinguish Mary among themselves by the name of the Spirit of Avenel, as if the fair but fragile form, and the beautiful but rather colourless cheek, the dark blue eye, and the shady hair, had belonged rather to the immaterial than the substantial world. . . . So that Mary Avenel, little loved because little known, was regarded with a mys- terious awe, . . . partly from her own retired and distant habits, enhanced by the superstitious opinions of the time and country. Ch. xiv. Mary Avenel's barony was, at length, restored to her, and she bestowed it, with her hand, upon Halbert Glendinning.

Abbot of the Monastery of St. Mary of Kenmaquhair. He was hospitable, kind and self-indulgent, but timid, pompous THE MONASTERY. 155 and exacting of deference. Boniface was bewildered by the de- mands of the stormy period of the Reformation, and utterly incapa- ble to fulfill the duties that he was called upon to perform. So the Primate of St. Andrews sent him an efficient Sub-Prior. Boniface leaned upon him in a helpless fashion, but secretly resented his superiority. The Sub-Prior had an encounter with the White Lady, and conscientiously confessed it to the Abbot, saying that he con- sidered it a punishment for his sin of spiritual pride. The Abbot henceforth conducted himself toward the Sub-Prior in a patronizing and pitying manner. “My brother l’” said he, ea: cathedra, “it cannot have escaped your judicious observation, that we have often declined our own judgment in favour of your opinion; . . . it was done exclusively to give our younger brethren . . . that courage which is necessary to a free deliverance of your opinion, we ofttimes Setting apart our proper judgment, that our inferiors, and especially our dear brother the Sub-Prior, may be comforted and encouraged in proposing valiantly his own thoughts. Which our deference and humility may, in some sort, have produced on your mind, most reverend brother, that self-opinion of facts and knowledge, . . . and thereby subjecting yourself, as is but too visible, to the japes and mockeries of evil spirits. . . . Wherefore, . . . in both of us such faults shall and must be amended — you hereafter presuming less upon your gifts and carnal wisdom, and I taking heed not so easily to relinquish mine own opinion for that of one lower in place and office. . . . Wherefore, on affairs of high mo- ment, we will call you to our presence in private, and listen to your opinion, which, if it shall agree with our own, we will deliver to the Chapter, as emanat- ing directly from ourselves; thus sparing you, dearest brother, that seeming victory which is so apt to engender spiritual pride, and avoiding ourselves the temptation of falling into that modest facility of opinion, whereby our office is lessened and our person (were that of consequence) rendered less important in the eyes of the community over which we preside.” Notwithstanding the high notions . . . Father Eustace entertained of the sacrament of confession, as his Church calls it, there was some danger that a sense of the ridiculous might have stolen on him, when he heard his Superior, with such, simple cunning, lay out a little plan for availing himself of the Sub- Prior's wisdom and experience, while he should take the whole credit to him- self. Ch. x. Dangers and difficulties gathered about the church, and the Mon- astery was threatened by an English invasion. Boniface realized his incompetency for the emergency, and resigned the mitre to the Sub-Prior, Father Eustace. Ch. v, vi, vii, x, xv, xvi, xviii, xix., xxxiv.

Julian Avemel's beautiful and devoted mistress. The Baron treated her, according to his mood, with indifference, fond- mess or cruelty. She lived in hopes that he would compassionate her sorrow and shame and marry her. The Protestant preacher, Henry Warden, asked Avenel what relation existed between him- self and Catherine. He answered that she was hand-fasted to him. “I(nowest thou not that rite? . . . We border-men are more wary than you inland clowns of Fife and Lothian; . . . we take our wives, like our horses, upon trial. When we are hand-fasted, as we term it, we are man and wife for a year and day — that space gone by, each may choose another mate, or, at their pleasure, may call a priest to marry them for life — and this we call hand-fasting.” Ch. xxv. Catherine, with her infant child in her arms, sought for Avenel, after a battle, and found him among the slain. - “O, no, no, no!” she reiterated, “do not say so — he is not dead — he is but in a swoon. I have lain as long in one myself — and then his voice would arouse me, when he spoke kindly, and said, Catherine, look up for my sake. And look up, Julian, for mine !” she said, addressing the senseless corpse; . . . “speak, were it but to curse my folly. O, the rudest word you ever said to me would now sound like the dearest you wasted on me before I gave you all. . . . He promised to wed me if I bore him a boy, and this child is so like to its father' How shall he keep his word, if you do not help me to awaken him?” Ch. xxxvi. Wrapping her arms about Avenel's body, she died in the excess of her grief, and their child was taken care of by Halbert Glendin- ning. Murray said: “What have they to answer for . . . who thus abuse the sweetest gifts of affection?” Ch. xxxvi. Ch. xxiv, xxv, xxxvi. See JULIAN AVENEL; also ROLAND GRAEME, in “The Abbot.” - * Christie of the Clint Hill. Julian Avenel's chief retainer. He was conceited, aggressive and familiar, and had a tenacious mem- ory for favors and offenses. There was both cunning and malice in his fierce gray eye. His manner was cowering, almost abject, in the presence of his chief, whom he faithfully served, and by whose side he died in battle. The Scottish laws . . . had in vain endeavoured to restrain the damages done to agriculture by the chiefs and landed proprietors retaining in their service what were called jackmen, from the jack, or doublet quilted with iron, which they wore as defensive armour. These military retainers conducted themselves with great insolence towards the industrious part of the community,+lived, in a great measure, by plunder, and were ready to execute any commands of their master, however unlawful.

Eustace, Father. Sub-Prior, and afterward Abbot, of the Monas- tery of St. Mary's. The advisor of the inefficient Abbot Boniface. A man of parts and knowledge, devoted to the service of the Catholic church, and very capable, not only to advise the Abbot on occasions of difficulty, but to make him sensible of his duty in case he should, from good nature or timidity, be disposed to shrink from it. Father Eustace played the same part in the Mon- astory as the old general who in foreign armies is placed at the elbow of the Prince of the Blood, who nominally commands in chief, on condition of attempt- ing nothing without the advice of his dry-nurse; and he shared the fate of all such dry-nurses, being heartily disliked, as well as feared, by his principal. . . . He was a thin, sharp-faced, slight-made little man, whose keen grey eyes seemed almost to look through the person to whom he addressed himself. His body was emaciated, not only with fasts, which he observed with rigid punctuality, but also by the active and unwearied exercise of his sharp and piercing intellect. Ch. vi. As the Abbot of St. Mary's, he conducted himself with dignity, courage and diplomacy, and owing to his ability the Monastery suf- fered but little from the demands and depredations of the Reforma- tion.

Warden of the west marches of England. A borderer who made war upon the Monastery for sheltering Piercie Shafton. Ch. xxxvi. See PIERCIE SHAFTON. Glendinning, Edward. Elspeth Glendinning's youngest son. Edward, the younger brother, was light-haired, blue-eyed and of fairer com- plexion; in countenance rather pale, and not exhibiting that rosy hue which colours the sanguine cheek of robust health. Yet the boy had nothing sickly or ill-conditioned in his look, but was, on the contrary, a fair and handsome child, with a smiling face, and mild, yet cheerful, eye. Ch. ii. Edward was a promising student: He was at once acute and industrious, alert and accurate; one of those rare combinations of talent and industry which are seldom united. Ch. xi. Edward loved, in vain, Mary Avenel, and hated his brother and rival, Halbert. He rejoiced when his brother was reported dead, and, though he could not sorrow for him, he assumed the part of a brotherly avenger. When he learned of Halbert's safety, and saw Mary's joy, he hastened to the Monastery and confessed the passion that had changed his heart toward his heretofore beloved brother. In the agony of remorse and hopeless love, Edward took his vows as a monk of St. Mary, but his buried heart heard with restless sor- row of the marriage of Halbert and Mary. 158 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY.

See MARY AVENEL; HALBERT GLENDINNING; also EDWARD GLENDINNING, in “The Abbot.” Glendinning, Elspeth. Mother to Halbert and Edward Glendin- ning. She occupied the Tower of Glendearg, and was the widow of a soldier who died at Pinkie, fighting as a vassal of the Monastery. In compassion for her bereavement the English left her unmolested. She was kind and hospitable, and had a horror of the profession of arms. There was a simple cunning blended with her maternal devotion and rustic ignorance. She cheerfully gave the shelter of her Tower to the homeless Lady of Avenel and her daughter. Ch. ii, iii, iv, v, viii., ix, xi, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xviii, xix., xx, xxvi, xxvii, XXX, xxxiii, xxxvii. See AVENEL (ALICE and MARY); GLENDINNING (EDWARD and HALBERT). Glendinning, Halbert. Elspeth Glendinning's eldest son. He was tall, dark and well formed, with black clustering locks and scintil- lating hazel eyes. His jerkin and hose were of coarse rustic cloth, and his cap of the same. A belt round his waist served at once to sustain the broadsword . . . and to hold five or six arrows and bird-bolts which were stuck into it on the right side, along with a large knife hilted with buckhorn, or, as it was then called, a dudgeon-dagger. To complete his dress we must notice his loose buskins of deer's hide, formed so as to draw upon the leg as high as the knee, or at pleasure to be thrust down lower than the calves. These were generally used . . . in sylvan sports, as they served to protect the legs against the rough and tangled thickets into which the pursuit of game frequently led them. . . . There was not in his carriage a grain either of forwardness or of timidity which a friend could have wished away. Ch. xix. He was brave, adventurous and aspiring, but adverse to study. He loved the scholarly Mary Avenel, and, in despair of winning her, frequently consulted the White Lady. Sir Piercie Shafton's haughty insolence and undisguised admiration of Mary Avenel occasioned a duel between Halbert and the Knight, after which unfortunate oc- currence Halbert leaves home, and afterward becomes a Protestant and joins Murray's army. He rises rapidly in the Earl's favor, who sanctions Halbert's marriage with Mary Avenel, and invests Glen- dinning with his wife's estates.

The dark-eyed and comely daughter of the miller. She was gaily dressed and had a joyous countenance. Elspeth Glen- dinning was anxious for a marriage between her son Halbert and the miller's heiress. Mysie visited at the Tower and became infatu- ated with Sir Piercie Shafton, who was detained there as a prisoner on account of his supposed murder of Halbert Glendinning. The handsome presence, elaborate dress and address of Sir Piercie Shafton . . . had completely dazzled . . . the poor Maid of the Mill. The Knight had perceived this result, and flattered . . . he had bestowed on Mysic a good deal more of his courtesy than in his opinion her rank warranted. It was not cast away, but received with a devout sense of his condescension and with gratitude for his personal notice, which, joined to her fears for his safety, and the natural tenderness of her disposition, began to make wild work in her heart. . . . She was of a simple and affectionate, but at the same time an alert and cnterprising, character, possessing more than female strength of body, and more than female courage, though with feelings as capable of being bewildered with gallantry of dress and language as a fine gentleman of any generation would have desired to exercise his talents upon. Ch. xxviii. She effected his escape and followed him as a page. She said to him: - “You cannot but remember the cause which has brought me here. . . . Make the least approach to any familiarity which you would not offer to a princess surrounded by her court, and you have seen the last of the miller's daughter.” Ch. xxix. - - She allowed herself to be mistaken for Sir Piercie, and was made a prisoner in battle. She became Sir Piercie's bride and followed him into political exile. Ch. xiii, xiv, xv, xix., xxvi, xxviii, xxix, xxxvi, xxxvii. See SIR PIERCIE SHAFTON. Heron, Sir George. Knight of Chip-chase.

James Stuart, leader of the Protestant faction in Scotland, and bastard brother of the Queen. This celebrated person had in his appearance, as well as in his mind, much of the admirable qualities of James V, his father. Had not the stain of illegit- imacy rested on his birth, he would have filled the Scottish throne with as much 160 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. honour as any of the Stuart race. But History, while she acknowledges his high talents, and much that was princely, nay, royal in his conduct, cannot for- get that ambition led him farther than honour or loyalty warranted. Brave among the bravest, fair in presence and in favour, skilful to manage the most intricate affairs, to attach to himself those who were doubtful, to stun and over- whelm, by the suddenness and intrepidity of his enterprises, those who were resolute in resistance, he attained, and as to personal merit certainly deserved, the highest place in the kingdom. But he abused, under the influence of strong temptation, the opportunities which his sister Mary’s misfortunes and impru- dence threw in his way. He supplanted his sovereign and benefactress in her power; and his history affords us one of those mixed characters, in which prin- ciple was so often sacrificed to policy, that we must condemn the statesman, while we pity and regret the individual. . . . The commanding form, and the countenance to which high and important thoughts were familiar; the features, which bore the resemblance of Scotland's long line of kings, were well calcu- lated to impress awe and reverence. . . . A buff coat, richly embroidered with silken lace, supplied the place of armour, and a massive gold chain, with its medal, hung around his neck. His black velvet bonnet was decorated with a string of large and fair pearls, and with a small tufted feather; a long, heavy sword was girt to his side, as the familiar companion of his hand. He wore gilded spurs on his boots, and these completed his equipment. Ch. xxxv. Ch. xxxv, xxxvi, xxxvii. Nicholas, Father. A dull and verbose aged monk, who wearied his brethren with marrating events that transpired in the days of the previous Abbot. Ch. x, xxxiii, xxxiv, xxxvii. Peter. Bridge ward of the draw-bridge of Brigton. There was an annoying feud between the Monastery and the churlish keeper, which required the Sub-Prior's patient diplomacy to settle satisfac- torily. The bridge-keeper, who was the dependant of a meighbouring baron, resided with his family in the second and third stories of the tower, which, when both the draw-bridges were raised, formed an insulated fortalice in the midst of the river. He was entitled to a small toll or custom for the passage, concerning the amount of which disputes sometimes arose between him and the passengers. It is need- less to say, that the bridge-ward had usually the better in these questions, since he could at pleasure detain the traveller on the opposite side, or suffering him to pass half way, might keep him a prisoner in his tower till they were agreed on the rate of pontage. But it was most frequently with the monks of St. Mary's that the warder had to dispute his perquisites. . . . The controversy grew ani- mated on both sides. The Abbot menaced excommunication, and the keeper of the bridge, though unable to retaliate in kind, yet made each individual monk who had to cross and recross the river endure a sort of purgatory ere he would accommodate them with a passage. Ch. v. Ch. v, vii, ix. See PETER THE BRIDGEWARD, in “The Abbot.” Philip, Father. Sacristan at the Monastery of St. Mary. He was secretly regarded by his brethren as “a devoted squire of dames.” Being orthodox in his Catholicism, he was horrified at the Lady of THE MONASTERY. 161 Avenel's inclination to heresy. He possessed himself of her Bible, saying, “The word slayeth.” The White Lady gave him a severe ducking, and reclaimed the volume. “Why thou knowest all the widows in the country side,” said the Abbot. . . “Ho! ho! ho! ” echoed the Sacristan, in the tone and tune in which an inferior applauds the jest of a superior. Then added, with a hypocritical snuffle and a sly twinkle of his eye, “It is our duty, most holy father, to comfort the widow.” Ch. V. Ch. v, vii, x, xvi, xxxiv, xxxvii. See WHITE LADY; also FATHER PHILIP, in “The Abbot.” Rowley. A retainer at Avemel Castle. Ch. xxv. Shafton, Sir Piercie. The Knight of Wilverton. A handsome gallant, who had been a long resident at Elizabeth's court, and was skilled in the ornate language and extravagant metaphor called Euphuism, which was then the fashion. He had engaged in a Catholic plot with the Earl of Northumberland. The Earl allowed the blame to rest on Sir Piercie, and sent him to Scotland with his clothes. The Earl solicited the Monastery to shelter his cousin, Sir ‘ Piercie, so the Knight became an inmate of the Tower of Glendearg. He had a pride in his Piercie blood, and a distaste for all that was plebeian. His especial passion was for elegant dressing, and he had an affectionate regard for his wardrobe. He said: “By the gods and saints, if there be a gallant at the British Court more fan- cifully considerate, and more considerately fanciful, more quaintly curious and curiously quaint, in frequent changes of all rich articles of vesture, becoming one who may be accounted point-de-vice a courtier, I will give you leave to term me a slave and a liar.” Ch. xxvii. The Sub-Prior said of him: “If hare-brained courage, and an outrageous spirit of gallantry, can make good his pretensions to the high lineage he claims, these qualities have never been denied him. For the rest, he is one of the ruffling gallants of the time, ... who wear out their fortunes, and endanger their lives in idle braveries, in order that they may be esteemed the only choice gallants of the time; and af ter- wards endeavour to repair their estates by engaging in the desperate plots and conspiracies which wiser heads have devised.” Ch. xvi. Though there was much supernatural interference in Sir Piercie's destinies, nothing so bewildered him as Mary Avemel's indifference to his courtly homage. Though a vain and conceited coxcomb, Sir Piercie had generous traits, and was above taking a base advantage of Mysie Happer's love for him. His relationship to the Piercies was through an illegitimate channel, and his mother's father was a tailor. Any allusion to these circumstances changed Sir Piercie's general sang-froid of mammer into a condition of uncontrollable rage. So when Halbert Glendimming showed him a silver bodkin a 7+ 162 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. duel necessarily resulted, which came near terminating fatally for the Euphuist. The Monastery became involved in trouble with England for sheltering Sir Piercie, and the Knight yielded himself a prisoner to his pursuers, who publicly exposed his claims to high birth, and sent him into exile. Murray said: “I suspect . . . we should not have heard of the miller's daughter being made a lady, had not the Knight proved to be the grandson of a tailor.” Ch.

An old woman, who was hospitable to Halbert Glen- dinning because She thought she saw some resemblance between Halbert and her son, Saun- ders, who had been killed in one of the affrays so common in the time. It is true, Saunders was a short, square-made fellow, with red hair and freckled face, and somewhat bandy-legged, whereas the stranger was of brown complexion, tall, and remarkably well made. Nevertheless, the widow was clear that there existed a general resemblance. Ch. xxxv. Ch. xxxv. Warden, Henry, Rev. A Protestant preacher. A conscientious and courageous enthusiast. He was a man of advanced life, and wearing a long beard, having on his head a large slouched hat, without either band or brooch. His dress was a tumic of THE MONASTERY. w 163 black serge, which, like those commonly called hussar cloaks, had an upper part which covered the arms and fell downſ on the lower; a small scrip and a bottle, which hung at his back, with a stout staff in his hand, completed his equipage. Ch. xxii. The vehemence of his zeal made it necessary for him to fly from Edinburgh. He was sheltered by Julian Avenel, who supposed that the new religion was one of license. “It is from spiritual bondage,” said the preacher . . . “that I come to deliver you, it is from a bondage more fearful than that of the heaviest earthly gyves — it is from your own evil passions.” Ch. xxv. Warden insisted upon Avenel's marriage with the wronged Catherine. The incensed Baron sent him as a prisoner to the Monastery. The Sub-Prior and the preacher had been cherished college friends. They had religious arguments, but the Sub-Prior protected him, and Warden returned the kindness soon, by prevent- ing the demolition of the Monastery. Ch. xxii, xxiii, xxiv, xxv, xxx, xxxi, xxxii, XXxiii, xxxvii. See JULIAN AVENEL; CATHERINE; also HENRY WARDEN, in “The Abbot.” White Lady. A beautiful spirit, dressed in white, who was a guar- dian of the destinies of the House of Avenel. Her tone of voice had a low, sweet and melancholy cadence. Her speech was . . song, or rather measured chaunt; . . . it flowed occa- sionally in modulated blank-verse, and at other times in . . . lyrical measure, Ch. xvii. Her haunt was a fountain, overhung by a holly-tree (the badge of Avenel), in a wild glen. To invoke her, it was necessary to re- move the buskin from the right foot, and, with drawn sword in hand, bow thrice to the fountain and to the tree, saying: “Thrice to the holly brake— Thrice to the Well . I bid thee awake, White Maid of Avenel.” Ch. xi. She was much interested in Lady Alice Avenel's Protestant bible. She took it from the Sacristan, and returned it to the Tower. She also prevented the Sub-Prior from retaining it. It was then placed in a beautiful grotto, guarded by flame, and she allowed Halbert Glendinning to reclaim it. She resolved to prevent the alliance of the church-vassal, Halbert, and the heiress of Avenel. She man- aged so that a duel should occur between Sir Piercie Shafton and Halbert. Believing he had killed the Knight, Halbert fled the Halidome, and the Spirit instantly cured his antagonist. She de- scribes herself as something "Twixt a waking thought and a sleeping dream. Ch. ix. 164 TEIE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. Upon the marriage of Halbert Glendinning and Mary Avenel, the mournful Spirit said adieu to the fountain and tree: “The knot of fate at length is tied, The Churl is lord, the Maid is bride.

THE ABBOT. A RomanCE. SEQUEL TO THE MONASTERY. A. R. G. U M E N T. y | WHE ABBOT relates to the history of Queen Mary of Scotland, from her imprisonment at Lochleven Castle, to her flight to England after the battle of Langside. I ventured to awaken, in a work of fiction, the memory of Queen Mary, so inter- esting by her wit, her beauty, her misfortunes, and the mystery which still does, and probably always will, overhang her history. Int. (1831). Abbot of Unreason. See ADAM WoODCOCK. Ambrosius. The Abbot of the Monastery of St. Mary's in Kenna- quhair, and successor to Eustatius. In his lay estate, he had been called Edward Glendinning, and entered the convent on account of his hopeless love for Mary Avenel, who afterward became his Protestant brother's wife. Religious differences prevented cor- diality between the brothers. The Monastery suffered from the iconoclastic fury of the Scottish Reformation, and the election of another abbot was prohibited. So the aged and disheartened monks gave him the mitre in gloomy secrecy and without cere- monial. - Bold and enthusiastic, yet generous and forgiving; wise and skilful, yet zeal- ous and prompt, he wanted but a better cause than the support of a decaying superstition, to have raised him to the rank of a truly great man. Ch. xiii. The Abbot's election was speedily annulled by the government, the church property given to a Protestant nobleman, and the monks scattered. The Abbot resorted to disguise for safety, and, to assist Queen Mary's escape, acted as a sentinel at Lochleven Castle. He was the Queen's companion and counselor until her departure for England, which fatal act he, in vain, endeavored to prevent. Abbot Ambrosius . . . retired into the Scottish convent of , and so lived there that the fraternity were inclined to claim for him the honours of canoniza- 166 THE ABBOT. 167 tion. But he guessed their purpose, and prayed them, on his death-bed, to do no honours to the body of one as sinful as themselves; but to send his body and his heart to be buried in Avenel burial-aisle, in the Monastery of Saint Mary’s, that the last abbot of that celebrated house of devotion might sleep among its ruins.

She was a kind and dignified mistress and a loving wife. That she was childless was a source of secret pain, and she clung to Roland Graeme, whom accident threw in her path, with a maternal fondness.

After his abdication, he acted as a mail-gardener at Kinross. As he became stricken in years, he grew peevish and entirely absorbed in horticulture. Against his wishes, his house became the rendezvous for those who conspired for Queen Mary's rescue. He found a final refuge at the Abbey of Dum- drennan, where he had served his first movitiate. He disguised himself under the name of Blinkhoolie. Ch. xxviii, xxxv, xxxviii. See ABBOT BONIFACE, in “The Monastery.” Bradbourne, Lilias. The Lady of Avenel's favorite and devoted attendant.

Douglas, George. The handsome grandson of the Lady of Loch- leven, and Seneschal of the Castle. He had a melancholy passion for the imprisoned Queen, and assisted her escape. When the Queen reprimanded him for his despondency, he answered: - “I am a houseless and landless man — disinherited by my mother and laid under her malediction — disowned by my name and kindred — who brings noth- ing to your standard but a single sword, and the poor life of its owner. . . . This only let me say, that not for wealth or title would I have done that which I have done. Mary Stuart will not, and the Queen cannot, reward me.” Ch. xxxvi. Douglas was fatally wounded at Langside, and the Queen saw him die. e Her tears fell fast on the face of the dying man, who continued to fix his eyes on her with an eagerness of passion which death itself could hardly subdue. “Mourn not for me,” he said, faintly, “but care for your own safety. I die in mine armour, as a Douglas should, and I die pitied by Mary Stuart.” Ch. XXXVII. Ch. xxi, xxii, Xxiii, xxiv, xxv, xxix., xxx, XXxiii, XXXV, xxxvi, XXXvii. See LADY LOCHLEVEN. Dryfesdale, Jasper. The grim, suspicious and sullen old steward at Lochleven Castle. He was jealously devoted to the Douglas family, but revengeful by nature, and had an insanely fanatical belief in fatalism. He resented the favor that was shown the page, Roland Graeme, and hated Queen Mary and Romanism—so he made an unsuccessful attempt to poison the Queen and her attend- ants. He was killed by Henry Seyton. Ch. xx, xxii, xxiii, xxv, xxix, xxx, xxxi, xxxii, xxxiii. See HENRY SEYTON. Edward. Lord Lindesay's attendant. Ch. xx. Eustace. Abbot of St. Mary, in whose favor Boniface had abdicated. The flagstone bore only the inscription: Hic jacet Eustatius Abbas, for no one dared to add a word of commendation in favour of his learning, and strenuous zeal for the Roman Catholic faith. Ch. xiii. Ch. ii., iii, xii, xiii. See EUSTACE, in “The Monastery.” THE ABBOT. 169. Fisher, Ralph. A rough, obsequious and hypocritical churl. Ch. vii. - Fleming, Lady Mary. Tire-woman to Queen Mary, and her com- panion in captivity at Lochleven Castle. She was court bred, cere- monious and dull. She was a skillful lady of the bedchamber, and an authority upon fashions and their changes. Lady Fleming was the embodiment of solemn dignity and propriety, and endeavored to check the levity of the Queen's youthful attendants, Roland Graeme and Catherine Seyton. Through her utter lack of tact or adroitness, the Queen's conversation often stumbled upon painful subjects. Her husband was killed at Langside, and she accompa- nied the Queen to England. Ch. xxi, xxii, xxiii, xxiv, xxix., xxx, xxxi, xxxii, xxxiv, xxxv, xxxvi, xxxvii, xxxviii. See CATHERINE SEYTON. - Glendinning, Edward. See ABBOT AMBROSIUs. Glendinning, Sir Halbert. Knight of Avenel, and brother to Abbot Ambrosius. There was a rational and tender devotion between the Knight and his lady, their only troubles being their want of an heir, and Sir Halbert's long absences from the Castle on political and military matters, for he was the Regent Murray's trusted favorite. The fiery freedom of the aspiring youth had given place to the steady and stern composure of the approved soldier and skilful politician. . . . His beard, according to the fashion of the time, grew short and thick, and was turned into mustaches on the upper lip, and peaked at the extremity. . . . The favour in which he was held by the powerful Earl of Murray, and the high talents by which he vindicated his right to that rank and that favour, were qualities which rather increased than diminishcd the envy which was harboured against Sir Hal- bert Glendinning among a proud aristocracy, as a person originally of inferior and obscure birth, who had arisen to his present eminence Solely by his personal merit. The natural firmness of his mind did not enable him to despise the ideal advantages of a higher pedigree, . . . and . . . there were moments in which he felt mortified, . . . and regretted that his importance as the proprietor of Avenel was qualified by his possessing it only as the husband of the heiress. Ch. iii. Ch. i, iii, xv, xxxvii, xxxviii. See AMBROSIUS; LADY OF AVENEL; MURRAY; also HALBERT GLENDINNING, in “The Monastery.” Graeme, Magdalen. Roland Graeme's grandmother. A Catholic. enthusiast, and a bold and resolute conspirator in the interests of Queen Mary and the Church. She was haughty in her manners and commanding in stature. She wore a pilgrim's habit. The Protest- ants suspected her of witchcraft, while the Catholics regarded her as a saint. Fanaticism and a life of trials had somewhat unsettled 8 170 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. her intellect. Her language rose, sometimes, to the height of rhap- sody, and again was witheringly expressive of hatred and vitupera- tion. To assist the Queen's escape, she went in the neighborhood of Lochleven Castle, under the name of Mother Nichneven, and saved the Queen's life by selling to the would-be poisoner, Dryfes- dale, a harmless drug. She devotedly loved her grandson. A fondness carried almost to the verge of dotage, in circumstances where the Catholic religion was not concerned. . . . Her life she would willingly have laid down to save the earthly object of her affection, but that object itself she was ready to hazard, and would have been willing to sacrifice, could the restoration of the Church of Rome have been purchased with his blood. Ch. xiii. She went on the continent after the Queen's escape from Loch- leven. Magdalen Graeme . . . died at Cologne, in the performance of a penance too severe for her age, which she had taken upon herself in behalf of the Queen and Church of Scotland, so soon as she heard of the defeat at Langside. Ch. xxxviii. Ch. ii., viii, ix, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xxvi, xxviii, XXXii, XXXvi, xxxviii. See ROLAND GRAEME. Graeme, Roland. Magdalen Graeme's grandson. He was rescued from drowning by the Lady of Avenel's dog, and became her spoiled page. He was haughty, handsome and daring. He was galled at his menial position, and secretly believed in his gentle blood. He rapidly became accomplished in exercises of body and mind, and his jealous fellow-servants plotted for his dismissal. The character of young Roland began to develop itself. It was bold, per- emptory, decisive and overbearing; generous, if neither withstood nor contra- dicted; vehement and passionate, if censured or opposed. Ch. iii. He at length became so presumptuous that his indulgent mistress was forced to discharge him. He parted from her with feelings of remorse and gratitude, and the proud determination to achieve an independent career. His Catholic grandmother educated him to conceal his religion, and privately dedicated him to the restoration of the Queen and Romanism. Murray sent him to Lochleven Castle as the Queen's page, with the instructions to act as a spy, which Roland was too honorable to obey. He conducted himself with dis- cretion, and became a Protestant while at the Castle. He was in- fatuated by the Queen's attendant, Catherine Seyton, and between them there was a very diverting war of wits. Through the solicita- tions of Catherine and sympathy for the Queen, he effected her es- cape by duplicate keys, and remained with the Queen until she left Scotland. Murray pardoned Roland, and the young man learned that instead of being the illegitimate child of Julian Avenel and Catherine Graeme, he was the offspring of their secret marriage, THE ABBOT. 171 and the nephew and heir of his kind benefactress. He returned to Avenel Castle. A modest and unassuming young man, too much acquainted with his own ex- pectations and character, to be hot or petulant in demanding the consideration which was readily and voluntarily yielded to him.

See MAGDALEN GRAEME; CATHERINE SEYTON; also CATHERINE, in “The Monastery.” Benderson, Elias, Rev. The Calvinistic chaplain at Lochleven Castle. He converted the Queen's page, and aspired to proselyting Mary, but she adroitly avoided religious discourse with him. He was a man in the prime of life, and possessed of good natural parts, care- fully improved by the best education which those times afforded. To these qualities were added a faculty of close and terse reasoning, and, at intervals, a flow of happy illustration and natural cloquence. Ch. xxiii. Ch. xxiii, xxiv, xxv. See Ro1,AND GRAEME.

The jealous and observing Usher of the Council Cham- ber at Holyrood.

Ch. xxxvii. * * Leslie, Ralph. Lord Seyton's enemy. Ch. xvii, xviii. Lindesay, Lord. One of the commissioners sent by the Scottish Privy Council to force Queen Mary to abdicate. The whole equipment was that of a rude warrior, negligent of his exterior even to misanthropical sullenness; and the short, harsh, haughty tone, which he used towards his attendants, belonged to the same unpolished character. Ch.xx. He was violent in his language and demeanor to the Queen, and bruised her arm with his gauntleted hand. He was ashamed of this brutality, and the Queen, forgiving him, said: “An honoured soldier hadst thou been by a king's side — leaguered with rebels what art thou but a good blade in the hands of a ruffian?” Ch. xxii. Ch. xx, xxi, xxii, xxiii, xxxvii. See QUEEN MARY. & 172 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. Lochleven, Lady of Margaret Erskine, of the house of Mar, and wife of Sir William Douglas, of Lochleven Castle. Previous to her marriage she had captivated James V, by whom she became the mother of the Regent Murray. She secretly sorrowed over her for- mer shame, and embraced the most austere and bigoted tenets of the reformed religion. The Lady had a stately mien, and her coun- tenance bore traces of early beauty and her present bitterness and discontent. In every respect, the unfortunate Queen Mary, now the compulsory guest, or rather prison.cr. of this sullen lady, was obnoxious to her hostess. Lady Loch- leven disliked her as the daughter of Mary of Guise, the legal possessor of those rights over James' heart and hand of which she conceived herself to have been injuriously deprived; and yet more so as the professor of a religion which she detested worse than Paganism. . . . The Lady of Lochleven . . . endeavoured to conceal dislike and apprehension under the appearance of respectful indiffer- ence. The truth was, that she had experienced repeatedly the Queen's superi- ority in . . . disguised yet cutting sarcasm. Ch. xxi. Notwithstanding her rigid surveillance, her grandson attempted the Queen's escape. “Wretched boy,” said the distracted Lady of Lochleven, “ hast thou fallen even thus far into the snares of this Moabitish woman? Hast thou bartered thy name, thy alkegiance, thy knightly oath, thy duty to thy parents, thy country and thy God, for a feigned tear, or a sickly smile, from lips which flattered the infirm Francis — lured to death the idiot Darnley — read luscious poetry with the minion Chastelar — mingled in the lays of love which were sung by the beg- gar Rizzio — and which were joined in rapture to those of the foul and licen- tious Bothwell? . . . Madame, . . . you retain an exchequer which neither your own prodigality can drain nor your offended country deprive you of. . . . You have fair words and delusive smiles at your command . . . to lure youth to folly. . . . My eldest son is a widower — were he not more worthy the flattering hopes with which you have seduced his brother? True, the yoke of marriage has been already thrice fitted on — but the Church of Rome calls it a sacrament, and its votaries may deem it onc in which they cannot too often participate.” “And the votaries of the Church of Geneva,” replied Mary, colouring with indignation, “as they deem marriage no sacrament, are said at times to dispense with the holy ceremony.” Ch. xxx. Lady Lochleven was stunned by the affront, which she had drawn upon herself, and resorted to her bible for strength to restrain her desire for vengeance. - & “Now God be praised for that woman's youthful frailty! ” said the Queen. “Had she not that weak point in her character I might waste my words on her in vain. But that spot is the very reverse of what is said of the witch's mark. I can make her feel there, though she is otherwise insensible all over.” Ch. xxxiv. Ch. xxi, xxiii, xxiv, xxv, xxix., xxx, xxxii, xxxiii, xxxiv, xxxv. See GEORGE DOUGLAS; QUEEN MARY; EARL OF MURRAY. THE ABBOT. 173 Lundin, Luke, Dr. The Lord of Lochleven's chamberlain at Kin- ross; facetious, pedantic and pompous. Woe betide the family of the rich boor, who presumed to depart this life with- out a passport from Dr. Luke Lundin for if his representatives had aught to set- tle with the Baron, as it seldom happened otherwise, they were sure to find a cold friend in the Chamberlain. He was considerate enough, however, gratuitously to help the poor out of their ailments, and sometimes out of all their other dis- tresses at the same time. Formal, in a double proportion, both as a physician and as a person in office, and proud of the scraps of learning which made his language almost universally unintelligible. Ch. xxvi. Ch. xxvi, xxvii, xxix., xxxii. Mary, Queen of Scotland. She is represented as having been ill- advised by friends, deserted by an usurping brother and betrayed by enemies. Notwithstanding the gloom of a prison, her natural buoyancy finds expression in wit and mirth, and she is endowed with delicate tact, winning address, and a demeanor and magna- nimity truly royal. Her face, her form, have been so deeply impressed upon the imagination, that even at the distance of nearly three centuries, it is unnecessary to remind the most ignorant and uninformed reader of the striking traits which characterize that remarkable countenance, which seems at once to combine our ideas of the majestic, the pleasing and the brilliant, leaving us to doubt whether they express most happily the queen, the beauty, or the accomplished woman. . . . Even those who feel themselves compelled to believe all, or much, of what her ene- mies laid to her charge, cannot think without a sigh upon a countenance ex- pressive of anything rather than the foul crimes with which she was charged when living, and which still continue to shade, if not to blacken, her memory. That brow, so truly open and regal — those eyebrows, so regularly graceful, which yet were saved from the charge of regular insipidity by the beautiful effect of the hazel eyes which they overarched, and which seemed to utter a thousand histories — the nose, with all its Grecian precision of outline — the mouth, so well proportioned, so sweetly formed, as if designed to speak nothing but what was delightful to hear — the dimpled chim — the stately, swan-like neck, form a countenance, the like of which we know not to have existed in any other char- acter moving in that class of life where the actresses as well as the actors com- mand general and undivided attention. . . . And no small instance is it of the power of beauty, that her charms should have remained the subject, not merely of admiration, but of warm and chivalrous interest, after the lapse of such a length of time. We know that by far the most acute of those who, in latter days, have adopted the unfavourable view of Mary’s character, longed, like the executioner before his dreadful task was performed, to kiss the fair hand of her on whom he was about to perform so horrible a duty. Ch. xxi. Her wit and satire were much dreaded. It may be well doubted, whether this talent was not as fatal to its possessor as the many others enjoyed by that highly gifted but most unhappy female; for, while it often afforded a momentary triumph over her keepers, it failed not to exasperate their resentment, and the satire and sarcasm in which she had in- dulged were frequently retaliated by the deep and bitter hardships which they 174 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. had the power of inflicting. It is well known that her death was at length has- tened by a letter which she wrote to Queen Elizabeth, in which she treated her jealous rival and the Countess of Shrewsbury with the keenest irony and ridi- cule. Ch. xxi. Ch. xxi, xxii, xxiv, xxv, xxix., xxx, xxxi, xxxii, xxxiv, xxxv, xxxvi, xxxvii, xxxviii. See LADY OF LOCHLEVEN; EARL OF MURRAY. Melville, Sir Robert. One of the three commissioners sent by the Privy Council to request Mary's abdication. He was a gray-haired, shrewd, but kindly-looking, gentleman. He was instructed by the Regent to act as a restraint upon his colleagues, and to mediate between them and the Queen. Ch. xx, xxi, xxii. Morton, James Douglas, Earl of. A leading member of the Scottish Privy Council, and a general at Langside. His passions were dark and fierce, and his jealousy ever on the alert. His antag- onism to the Queen was most bitter. Ch. xviii, xx, xxxvii. Murray, James Stuart, Earl of. Regent of Scotland during the infancy of his nephew, James VI. Murray was the illegitimate son of James V and the Lady of Lochleven. His natural expression of countenance was that of “melancholy gravity,” and he endeavored to moderate the violence of his party toward the Queen. This distinguished statesman . . . possessed all the external dignity, as well as almost all the noble qualities, which could grace the power which he enjoyed. . . . But that he held his authority by the deposition and imprisonment of his sister and benefactress was a crime yhich those only can excuse who think am- bition an apology for ingratitude. He was dressed plainly in black velvet, after the Flemish fashion, and wore in his high-crowned hat a jewelled clasp, which looped it up on one side. Ch. xviii. Ch. xviii, XX, Xxxvii.

See NICHOLAs, in “The Monastery.” Peter.

Ch. xvi. Ch. xvi. See PETER THE BRIDGEwARD, in “The Monastery.” Philip, Father. Sacristan at St. Mary's. He married Julian Avenel and Catherine Graeme, but the Baron had prevailed upon him to observe secrecy in the matter, and Catherine died, not knowing that she was a lawful wife, for Avenel afterward told her that the cere- mony had been performed by a mock priest. Father Philip's dying confession made Roland Graeme the heir of the Avenel estates. THE ABBOT. 175 Ch. xiii, xxxviii. See Roland GRAEME; also CATHERINE, in “The Monastery.” Randal. A domestic at Lochleven Castle. Ch. xx, xxi, xxx, xxxii, xxxiii, XXXiv, xxxv. - Rosabelle. The Queen's horse, which Douglas obtained from Mor- ton's guarded stables for Mary's use after her flight from Lochleven Castle. The Queen said: “My own favourite Rosabelle, who was never matched in Scotland for swift- ness, for ease of motion and for sureness of foot.” Ch. xxxvi. Rosabelle safely bore Mary from the battle of Langside, and in all the agony of that hour she did not forget to provide for the faithful creature's care. Ch. xxxvi, xxxvii, xxxviii. See GEORGE Douglas. Ruthven, Lord William. A distinguished soldier and statesman, who was appointed one of the commissioners to obtain Mary's abdi- cation.

Ch. xxi, xxxii, xxxiii. Seyton, Catherine. Iord Seyton's beautiful young daughter, in attendance upon the Queen at Lochleven Castle. Previous to the Reformation she had been in the nunnery of her aunt, the Abbess Bridget. She was proud and spirited, as well as witty and gay, together with ready tact, quick intelligence and loyalty to church and queen. She fascinated the Queen's page, Roland Graeme, and archly coquetted with him. She devoted herself to amusing her imprisoned mistress: She danced, she sang, she recited tales of ancient and modern times, with that heartfelt exertion of talent, of which the pleasure lies not in the vanity of display- ing it to others, but in the enthusiastic consciousness that we possess it ourselves. . . . A touch of audacity, altogether short of effrontery, and far less approaching to vulgarity, gave as it were a wildness to all that she did, and Mary . . . com- pared her to a trained singing bird escaped from a cage, which practises in all the luxuriance of freedom . . . the airs which it had learned during its earlier captivity. Ch. xxiv. She inspires Roland to assist the Queen's escape. After remaining two years with the Queen in her rigorous English imprisonment, Catherine returned to Scotland and became the wife of Roland, now the lawful heir of Avenel.

An elderly minister, who had given offense to those in power by his aggressive zeal, and sought a refuge for his old age at Avenel Castle. He poured vials of wrath upon the head of the page, Roland Graeme, whom he considered lacking in respect for himself and his holy office. He ceased not, however, to serve his cause as eagerly with his pen as he had formerly done with his tongue, and had engaged in a furious and acrimonious contest concerning the sacrifice of the mass, as it was termed, with Abbot Eusta- tius, . . . and his grave, stern and absorbed deportment . . . seldom showed any interest except in that which concerned his religious profession.

He was somewhat conceited, and made pretensions to being a jester THE ABBOT. 177 and poet. A body of masquers invaded the Monastery in a spirit of ribaldry, and Woodcock sustained his character of “Abbot of Unreason '' with insolent and riotous assurance. The mock dignity was a stout-made, under-sized fellow, whose thick Squab form had been rendered grotesque by a supplemental paunch, well stuffed. He wore a mitre of leather, with a front like a grenadier’s cap, adorned with mock embroidery and trinkets of tin. This surmounted a visage, the nose of which was the most prominent feature, being of unusual size, and at least as richly gemmed as his head gear. His robe was of buckram, and his cope of canvas, curiously painted, and cut into open work. On one shoulder was fixed the painted figure of an owl; and he bore in the right hand his pastoral Staff, and in the left a small mirror, having a handle to it. Ch. xiv.

ECIENILWORTH. A ROMANCE, º iſe “No scandal about Queen Elizabeth, I hope.” The Critic. A R G U M E N T. A CERTAIN degree of success, real or supposed, in the delinea- tion of Queen Mary, naturally induced the author to attempt something similar respecting “her sister and her foe,” the celebrated Elizabeth. . . . The in- terest of the story is thrown upon that period when the sudden death of the first Countess of Leicester seemed to open to the ambition of her husband the oppor- tunity of Sharing the crown of his sovereign. It is possible that slander, which very Seldom favours the memories of persons in exalted stations, may have blackened the character of Leicester with darker shades than really belong to it. But the almost general voice of the times attached the most foul suspicions to the death of the unfortunate Countess. Int. (1831). Adams. A monopolist. Ch. xvii. Alasco. Poisoner, conjurer and astrologer in Leicester's service. He was also called Demetrius Doboobius. He died from the effects of a chemical experiment. The astrologer was a little man, and seemed much advanced in age, for his beard was long and white, and reached over his black doublet down to his silken girdle. His hair was of the same venerable hue. But his eyebrows were as dark as the keen and picroing black eyes which they shaded, and this peculiarity gave a wild and singular cast to the physiognomy of the old man. His cheek was still fresh and ruddy, and the eyes we have mentioned resembled those of a rat, in acuteness, and even fierceness, of expression. Ch. xviii. Ch. xi, xviii, xix., xx, xxii, xli. See LEICESTER; AMY ROBSART. Alison. One of Foster's servants. Ch. xx. Aylford. A London alderman. Ch. xvii. Badger, Will. Sir Hugh Robsart's favorite attendant and squire. Ch. xii. Blount, Nicholas. A worthy soldier, and master of the horse to Sussex, who was knighted at Kenilworth. 179 180 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. He was desired to advance toward the throme. . . . His head was already giddy from a consciousness of unusual finery, and the supposed necessity of suiting his manners to the gayety of his dress; and now this sudden view of pro- motion altogether completed the conquest of the newly-inhaled spirit of foppery over his natural disposition, and converted a plain, honest, awkward man into a coxcomb of a new and most ridiculous kind. The knight-expectant advanced up the hall, . . . turning out his toes with so much zeal that he presented his leg every step with its broadside foremost, so that it greatly resembled an old-fash- ioned table-knife, with a curved point, when seen sideways. The rest of his gait was in proportion to this unhappy amble. Ch. xxxii. Ch. xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, XXX, XXXi, xxxii, Xxxiv, xxxix., x1, xli. See SUSSEx. * Bowyer, Master. The Usher of the Black Rod.

Burleigh stooped to kiss her hand, with affection, and — rare in the annals of courts — a tear of true sympathy dropped from the eye of the minister on the hand of his . sovereign. Ch. xl.

I have endeavoured to describe her as at once a high-minded sovereign and a female of passionate feelings, hesitating betwixt the sense of her rank and the duty she owed her subjects, on the one hand, and, on the other, her attachment to a nobleman, who, in external qualifications, at least, amply merited her favour, Int. (1831). - KENILWORTH. 181 Elizabeth governed mostly by factions. Sussex and her favorite, Leicester, headed rival parties. The Queen learns of certain haughty, threatening language which Leicester had used to the usher, Bow- yer: e “God’s death ! my Lord "" (such was her emphatic phrase), “what means this? . . . Who gave you license to contradict our orders, or control our officers? I will have in this court—ay, and in this realm — but one mistress, and no master. Look to it that Master Bowyer sustains no harm for his duty to me faithfully discharged; for, as I am a Christian woman and a crowned Queen, I will hold you dearly answerable.” . . . Leicester, . . . assuming an aspect of the deepest humility, did not even at- tempt a word in his own exculpation. . . . The dignity of the Qileen was gratified, and the woman soon began to feel for the mortification which she had imposed on her favourite. Her keen eye also observed the secret looks of Congratulation exchanged amongst those who favoured Sussex, and it was no part of her policy to give either party a decisive triumph. - “What I say to my Lord of Leicester,” she said, after a moment’s pause, “I say also to you, my Lord of Sussex. You also must needs rufile in the court of England, at the head of a faction of your own.” “My followers, gracious Princess,” said Sussex, “ have indeed ruffled in your cause . . .” “Do you bandy looks and words with me, my Lord?” said the Queen, inter- rupting him. “ Methinks you might learn of my Lord of Leicester the modesty to be silent — at least, under our censure. . . . I tell you no king in Christendom will less brook his court to be cumbered, his people oppressed and his kingdom's peace disturbed with the arrogance of overgrown power than she who now speaks with you.- My Lord of Leicester, and you, my Lord of Sussex, I com- mand you both to be friends with each other. . . . I bid you once more to join hands, and, God's death ! he that refuses shall taste of our Tower fare ere he see our face again. I will lower your proud hearts ere we part, and that I promise on the word of a Queen. . . . Why, this is as it should be,” she added, looking on them more favourably. “And when you, the shepherds of the people, unite to protect them, it shall be well with the flock we rule over.” Ch. xvi. At Kenilworth, Elizabeth listened to Leicester's importunities: “No, Dudley,” said Elizabeth; yet it was with broken accents. . . . “Urge it no more. . . . Were I as others, free to seek my own happiness, . . . then, indeed. . . . It is madness, and must not be repeated.” . . . The mind of Eng- land's Elizabeth, if somewhat shaken by the agitating interview to which she had just put a period, was of that firm and decided character which soon recov- ers its natural tone. It was like one of those ancient Druidical monuments called rocking-stones. The finger of Cupid, boy as he is painted, could put her feelings in motion, but the power of Hercules could not have destroyed their cquilibrium. Ch. xxxiv. The day following this scene, Elizabeth learned of Leicester's se- cret marriage with Amy Robsart. In the first moment of rage, at the outrage which she had sustained as a Queen and a woman, she placed the Earl under arrest. Fearing that her severity would be- tray her pain, she at length mastered herself, and calmly said: 182 THE WAWERLEY DECTIONARY. “My Lord Shrewsbury, we discharge you of your prisoner. My Lord of Leicester, rise and take up your sword — a quarter of an hour's restraint, under the custody of our marshal, my Lord, is, we think, no high penalice for months of falsehood practised upon us. We will now hear the progress of this affair.” . . . Barred from every other and more direct mode of revenge, the Queen perceived that she gave her false suitor torture by these inquiries, and dwelt on them for that reason, no more regarding the pain which she herself experienced than the savage cares for the scaring of his hands by grasping the hot pincers with which he tears the flesh of his captive enemy. At length, how- ever, the haughty lord, like a deer that turns to bay, gave intimation that his patience was failing. “Madame,” he said, “I have been much to blame, . . . yet, Madame, let me say that my guilt, if it be unpardonable, was not unprovoked; and that, if beauty and condescending dignity could seduce the frail heart of a human being, I might plead both, as the causes of my concealing this secret from your Majes- ty. . . . Your Grace, who has pardoned so much, will excuse my throwing my- self on your royal mercy for those expressions which were yester-morning accounted but a light offence.” The Queen fixed her eyes on him while she replied: “Now, by Heaven, my Lord, thy effrontery passes the bounds of belief, as well as patience . But it shall avail thee nothing. What, ho! my Lords, come all and hear the news. My Lord of Leicester's stolen marriage has cost me a husband, and England a king. His Lordship is patriarchal in his tastes— one wife at a time was insufficient, and he has designed Us the honour of his left hand. Now, is not this too insolent, that I could not grace him with a few marks of court favour, but he must presume to think my hand and crown at his disposal? You, however, think better of me; and I can pity this ambitious man as I could a child, whose bubble of soap has burst between his hands.” Ch. xl. Previously Warney had said to Leicester: “You are strong, my Lord, and powerful; you are so only by the reflected light of the Queen's favour. . . . Think on all who have made head against this sage princess. They are dead, captive or fugitive. This is not like other thrones, which can be overturned by a combination of powerful nobles; the broad foundations which support it are in the extended love and affections of the peo- ple. You might share it with Elizabeth; . . . but neither yours nor any other power, foreign or domestic, will avail to overthrow, or even shake it.” Ch. xiv, xv, xvi. xvii, xxi, XXX, xxxi, xxxii, xxxiv, xxxvi, xxxvii, xxxviii, xxxix., x1, xli. See LEICESTER. Foster, Anthony. An avaricious, canting, cold-blooded hypocrite. He held Cumnor-Place by a lease from Leicester, and had charge of the Earl's secretly-married wife, Amy Robsart. He was called Tony-Fire-the-Fagot, on account of his assistance at the burning of Latimer and Ridley. He was sullen and dogged in his manner, and was clumsily built and slovenly dressed. He generally kept his villainous eyes bent on the ground, and guarded his daughter with superstitious care. He said: “No contagious vapours shall breathe on Janet — she shall remain pure as a blessed spirit, were it but to pray to God for her father.” Ch. vii. KENILWORTEI. 183 Warney bribed him to assist in the Countess of Leicester's murder. All search for him was in vain. His grandson, * In making some researches about Cumnor-Place, discovered a secret passage, closed by an iron door, which . . . descended to a sort of cell, in which they found an iron chest containing a quantity of gold, and a human skeleton stretched above it. The fate of Anthony Foster was now manifest. He had fled to this place of concealment, forgetting the key of the spring-lock, and be- ing barred from escape, by the means he had used for preservation of that gold for which he had sold his salvation, he had there perished miserably.

Know you aught of the requisites expected of the retainer of a rising courtier?” . . . Lambourne said: “A quick eye, - a close mouth, a ready and bold hand,- a sharp wit and a blunt conscience.” “And thine, I suppose,” said Warney, “has had its edge blunted long since?” “I cannot remember, sir, that its edge was cver over keen,” said Lambourne. “When I was a youth, I had some few whimsies, but I rubbed them partly out of my recollection on the rough grindstone of the wars, and what remained I washed out in the broad waves of the Atlantic.” . . . . “Canst thou be faithful?” asked Warney. . . . “If I'm well used and well recompensed; not otherwise,” answered Lam- bourne. . . . If I am to have a quick cye for my patron's service, he must have a dull one towards my faults.” . - º “So they lie not so grossly open that he must needs break his shins over them,” said Varney. . . . - “Next, if I run down game, I must have the picking of the bones,” said Lam- bourne. “That is but reason,” replied Warney; “ so your betters are served before you.” “Good,” said Lambourne; . . . " if the law and I quarrel, my patron must bear me out.” . . . “Reason again,” said Warney; “if the quarrel hath happened in your master's Service.” Ch. Vii. He was the bearer of a letter from Leicester to Warney forbidding the Countess' murder. He was drunk and presumptuous; so War- ney killed him, and rejoiced - That he had so adroitly removed a troublesome witness to many of his in- trigues, and the bearer of mandates which he had no intentions to obey, and which, therefore, he was desirous it should be thought had never reached his hand.

See AMY ROBSART. e Leicester, Robert Dudley, Earl of Queen Elizabeth's favorite. He was the leader of a powerful faction, and accomplished in every courtly art and exercise. He was of dark complexion, and had black hair and eyes. Leicester . . . was alike remarkable for elegance of manners and beauty of person. Ch. xv. It was rumored that the Queen intended sharing her crown with him. Leicester entertained the Queen, at his Castle of Kenilworth, with princely magnificence. The favourite Earl was now apparelled all in white, his shoes being of white velvet; his understocks (or stockings) of knit silk, his upper stocks of white velvet lined with cloth of silver, which was shown at the slashed part of the middle thigh; his doublet of cloth of silver, the close jerkim of white velvet, embroidered with silver and seed-pearl; his girdle and the scabbard of his sword of white velvet with golden buckles; his poniard and sword hilted and mounted with gold; and over all, a rich loose robe of white satin, with a border of golden embroidery a foot in breadth. The collar of the Garter and the azure Garter itself around his knee, completed the appointments of the Earl of Leicester; which were so well matched by his fair stature, graceful gesture, fine proportion of body, and handsome countenance, that at that moment he was admitted, by all who saw him, as the goodliest person they had ever looked upon. Ch. xxxi. Leicester was always supposed to be seen to the greatest advantage in the character and dress which, for the time, he represented or wore. Ch. xxxiv. Leicester was anxious to conceal from his jealous sovereign his clandestine marriage with Amy Robsart. The Countess embar- rassed him by coming to Kenilworth, and he saves his desperate fortunes by a course of shameful duplicity, in which he is aided and advised by his villainous master of the horse, Warney. Leicester says: “I do not stand where I did. I have spoken to Elizabeth, under what mad impulse I know not, on a theme which cannot be abandoned without touching every female feeling to the quick, and which I dare mot and cannot prosecute. She can never, never forgive me, for having caused and witnessed those yield- ings to human passion. . . . I am like one who has long toiled up a dangerous precipice, and when he is within one perilous stride of the top, finds his pro- gress arrested when retreat has become impossible. I see above me the pinnacle 8% 186 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. which I cannot reach — beneath me the abyss into which I must fall as soon as my relaxing grasp and dizzy brain join to hurl me from my present precarious stance.” Ch. XXXV. He is betrayed by Warney into consenting to his wife's death, but when he realizes, through the Countess' letter, how Warney has duped him, his love revives for Amy, and in remorse he confesses his marriage to the Queen. He then experienced the full bitterness of court disgrace, but he bore his humiliation with dignity, and con- tinued to be a solicitous host, hourly expecting his wife's return to Kenilworth, with the commissioners who had been sent to Cummor- Place for her. The news of the Countess' dreadful fate put a sudden period to the pleasures of Kenilworth. Leicester retired from court, and for a considerable time aban- doned himself to his remorse. But as Varney. in his last declaration, had been studious to spare the character of his patron, the Earl was the object rather of compassion than resentment. The Queen at length recalled him to court; he was once more distinguished as a statesman and a favourite, and the rest of his career is well known to history. But there was something retributive in his death, if, according to an account very generally received, it took place from swallowing a draught of poison which was designed by him for another person. Ch. xli. It is unnecessary to state the numerous reasons why the Earl is stated in the tale to be rather the dupe of villains, than the unprincipled author of their atrocities. In the latter capacity, which a part at least of his contemporaries imputed to him, he would have made a character too disgustingly wicked to be useful for the purposes of fiction.

He was an old bachelor, of good family, but small fortune, and distantly related to the house of Robsart; in virtue of which connection, Lidcote Hall had been honoured with his residence for the last twenty years. His company was agreeable to Sir Hugh, chiefly on account of his profound learning, which, though it only related to heraldry and genealogy, with such scraps of history as connected themselves with these subjects, was precisely of a kind to captivate the good old knight; besides the convenience which he found in having a friend to appeal to, when his own memory, as frequently happened, proved infirm and played him false concerning names and dates, which, and all similar deficiencies, Master Michael Mumblazen supplied with due brevity and discretion. And, indeed, in matters concerning the modern world, he often gave, in his enigmatical and heraldic phrase, advice which was well worth attending to. Ch. xii.

A young gentleman of Sussex's household, Who seemed about twenty or upward; was clad in the gayest habit used by persons of quality at that period; wearing a crimson velvet cloak richly orna- mented with lace and embroidery, with a bonnet of the same, encircled with a gold chain turned three times round it, and secured by a medal. His hair . . . was combed upwards, and made to stand as it were on end; and in his ears he wore a pair of silver ear-rings, having each a pearl of considerable size. The countenance of this youth, besides being regularly handsome, and accompanied \ by a fine person, was animated and striking in a degree that seemed to speak at \ once the firmness of a decided and the fire of enterprising character, the power \of reflection, and the promptitude of determination. Ch. xiv. He ventured near to the Queen's train, in order to look upon his sovereign's face. The night had been rainy, and just where the young gentleman stood a small quantity of mud interrupted the Queen's passage. As she hesitated to pass on, the gallant, throwing his cloak from his shoulders, laid it on the miry spot, so as to insure her stepping over it dry-shod. Elizabeth looked at the young man, who accompanied this act of devoted courtesy with a profound reverence and a blush that overspread his whole countenance. . . . - “You have this day spoiled a gay mantle in our service, young man. We thank you for your service, though the manner of offering it was unusual and something bold.” “In a sovereign's need,” answered the youth, “it is each liegeman's duty to be bold."' “God’s pity! that was well said; . . . your gallantry shall not go unreward- ed,” said the Queen. . . . “What is it thou wouldst have of me?” “Only permission, madame — if it is not asking too high an honour — permis, sion to wear the cloak which did you this trifling service.” “Permission to wear thine own cloak, thou silly boy “ said the Queen. “It is no longer mine,” said Walter; “when your Majesty's foot touched it, it became a fit mantle for a prince, but far too rich a one for its former owner.” Ch. xv. - At Kenilworth the Duchess of Rutland says to the Queen: 188 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. “In the name of these fair ladies, I request your Majesty to confer the rank of knighthood on Walter Raleigh, whose birth, deeds of arms, and promptitude to serve our sex with sword or pen deserve such distinction from us all.” “Grammercy, fair ladies,” said Elizabeth, smiling, “your boon is granted, and the gentle squire Lack-Cloak shall become the good knight Lack-Cloak, at your desire.” Ch. xxxii.

You might have searched land and sea without finding anything . . . half so lovely. The wreath of brilliants which mixed with her dark brown hair did not match in lustre the hazel eye, which a light brown eyebrow, pencilled with ex- quisite delicacy, and long eyelashes of the same colour, relieved and shaded. The milk-white pearls of the necklace which she wore . . . were excelled in purity by her teeth, and by the colour of her skin, saving where the blush of pleasure and self-satisfaction had somewhat stained the neck with a shade of light crimson. Ch. vi. The Earl had married her secretly, and taken her to Cumnor- Place, where she lived in magnificence and under circumstances of guarded privacy. The Earl impressed upon her the belief that con- cealment of their marriage was necessary for a brief period. The Earl's visits became less frequent, and her seclusion spared her the pain of hearing of the rumored marriage between the Queen and Leicester. Foster became more severe in his surveillance, the poi- soner Alasco came to Cumnor-Place, and Warney forced his insulting admiration upon her. She fled from these perils to Kenilworth, and wrote a letter of entreaty and explanation to Leicester. Desolate and almost bereft of reason, she waited for the answer that never came. From a remote apartment of the castle, of which she was the rightful mistress, she listened to the demonstrations in honor of the Queen's arrival. She accidentally met the Earl in the Queen's presence, and with unutterable agony she beheld Leicester remain silent while Warney claimed her as his insane wife. But that night, when her husband visited her, all was forgotten, and she fondly lavished her affection on him. She even forbore to accuse Warney, seeing how useful he was to the Earl. Leicester bade her go to one of his northern castles, disguised as Warney's wife, until it should become possible for him to acknowledge her as his wife. “I cannot put your commands, my Lord,” said Amy, “in balance with those of honour and conscience. I will not, in this instance, obey you. . . . How could you again, my Lord, acknowledge me as a pure and chaste matron, worthy to share your fortunes, when holding that high character, I had strolled the country the acknowledged wife of such a profligate fellow as your servant Varney? “ . . . RENILWORTH. 189 It was then that the Countess Amy displayed, in the midst of distress and diffi- culty, the natural energy of character, which would have rendered her, had fate allowed, a distinguished ornament of the rank which she held. She walked up to Leicester with a composed step, a dignified air, and looks in which strong affec- tion essayed in vain to shake the firmness of conscious truth and rectitude of principle. . . . “Will your Lordship be pleased to hear what a young and timid woman, but your most affectionate wife, can suggest in the present extremity? . . . There hath been but one cause for all these evils. . . . and it resolves itself into the mysterious duplicity with which you have been induced to surround your- self. Extricate yourself at once, my Lord, from the tyranny of these disgraceful trammels. Be like a true English gentleman, knight and earl, who holds that truth is the foundation of honour, and that honour is as dear to him as the breath of his mostrils. Take your ill-fated wife by the hand, lead her to the footstool of Elizabeth's throne— Say that in a moment of infatuation, moved by supposed beauty, of which none perhaps can now trace even the remains, I gave my hand to this Amy Robsart.—You will then have done justice to me and your own honour; and should law or power require you to part from me, I will oppose no objection, since I may then with honour hide a grieved and broken heart in those shades from which your love withdrew me. Then—have but a little pa- tience, and Amy’s life. will not long darken your brighter prospects.” Ch. xxxv. Warney so maligned the Countess that her angry and perplexed husband consented to her death. She was induced to leave Kenil- worth by the assurance that Leicester would soon join her at Cum- mor-Place. Arriving there, she was placed in a chamber in front of which was a trap door. Warney imitated the Earl's whistle in the court-yard. Amy, hastening to meet her husband, stepped on the trap, and was precipitated to the vault below.

Sussex . . . was a martialist; had done good service in Ireland and Scotland, and especially in the great northern rebellion of 1569, which was quelled, in a great measure, by his military talents. . . . The Earl of Sussex, moreover, was of more ancient and honourable descent than his rival. Ch. xiv. Ch. xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, xxxi, xxxii, xxxix., xl. See QUEEN ELIZABETH; LEICESTER. The Old Curate.

Supposing Amy to have been seduced by Warney, he followed her to Cumnor-Place in order to persuade her to return to her father. Amy said she was married to one whose name she could not reveal, and refused to leave Cumnor-Place. Tressilian, still believing Warney guilty, appealed to the Queen in behalf of Amy's father, Sir Hugh Robsart, but Warney asserted in Elizabeth's presence that Amy was his wife. Tressilian realized that Amy was involved in some painful mystery that was beyond his solution. Amy, flying from the terrors of Cumnor-Place, sought refuge in his apartments at Kenilworth Castle. Warney so exaggerated this cir- cumstance that Tressilian would have died by the hand of the jeal- ous Leicester, had not the timely receipt of Amy's letters convinced her husband of his unjust conduct. The Queen delegated Raleigh and Tressilian to bring the Countess of Leicester to Kenilworth. They arrived at Cumnor-Place just as her murder was consum- mated. Sir Hugh Robsart bequeathed his estate to Tressilian. 192 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. But neither the prospect of rural independence, nor the promise of favour, which Elizabeth held out to induce him to follow the court, could remove his profound melancholy. Wherever he went, he seemed to see before him the dis- figured corpse of the early and only object of his affection. At length, having made provision for the maintenance of the old friends and old servants who formed Sir Hugh’s family at Lidcote Hall, he himself embarked with his friend, Raleigh, for the Virginia expedition, and, young in years but old in grief, died before his day in that foreign land.

Warney, Richard. Leicester's Master of the Horse; an accom- plished courtier, and a subtle and heartless villain. He had a par- amount influence over Leicester. He faithfully executed his secret plots and dark designs, and adroitly advanced his interests. He persuaded him to conceal his marriage, and stimulated his ambi- tion. He was knighted. at Kenilworth. Warney hoped to see Leicester the Queen's husband, but the Earl's wife was the insur- mountable obstacle. He had managed the Earl's courtship of Amy Robsart, and had dared to express to the Countess his own admira- tion in warmest terms, and he consequently feared her: He thus soliloquized: “She loves me not; would that it was true that I loved not her Idiot that I was, to move her in my own behalf, when wisdom bade me be a true broker to my Lord! And this fatal error has placed me more at her discretion than a wise man would willingly be at that of the best piece of painted Eve’s flesh of them all. Since the hour that my policy made so perilous a slip, I cannot look at her without fear, and hate, and fondness, so strangely mingled, that I know not, whether, were it at my choice, I would rather possess or ruin her.” Ch. v. Seeing that Leicester wearied of dissimulation, and desired to con- fess his marriage, Warney resolved upon the Countess' death. He felt his own safety and the fulfillment of his long labors and am- bitious dreams demanded it. By a dastardly inuendo he won the Earl's consent to her death. He killed the messenger who brought contrary orders, and with his accomplice, Foster, murdered the Countess of Leicester under most tragic circumstances. He was immediately arrested, and displayed no remorse. He had poison concealed about his person, and committed suicide. “I was not born,” he said, “to drag on the remainder of my life a degraded outcast.— nor will I so die that my fate shall make a holiday to the vulgar herd.” . . . He was found next morning dead in his cell; . . . his countenance pre- senting even in death, the habitual expression of sneering sarcasm, which was predominant while he lived. Ch. xli.

THE PIRATE, A ROMANCE. “Quoth he, “There was a ship.’” A. R. G. U M E N T. THE following story is laid in the Orkney and Zetlaſſid Islands at - the latter part of the seventeenth century. Altamont, Frederick. See BUNCE. Bimbister, Margery. Neil Rolandson's worthy spouse. Ch. viii. Bunce, John. A pirate. Cleveland's lieutenant and devoted friend. A young man of light and Slender form, whose showy dress seemed to have been studied with care, yet exhibited more extravagance than judgment or taste; whose manner was a jaunty affectation of the free-and-easy rake of the period, and the expression of whose countenance was lively with a cast of effrontery. Ch. xxxi. He had been on the stage in his youth, and, disgusted with his plebeian name of Bunce, he desired his companions to address him as Frederick Altamont. He observed Cleveland's antipathy to piracy and reluctance to leave Minna Troil, so Bunce brilliantly attempted to force them both aboard the vessel. He was arrested for piracy, but his life was spared on account of a former humane act, and he was allowed to enter the government service. His nature was not entirely corrupted by his lawless life, and he con- ducted himself creditably in his new profession. Ch. xxxi, xxxii, xxxiv, xxxv, xxxvi, xxxviii, xxxix., x1, xli., xlii. See CLEVELAND. Cleveland, Clement, Captain. The pirate. The son of Basil Waughan and Norna. He adopted the name of Cleveland, and was a very attractive young man, in manner as well as person. Cleveland . . . was gallantly attired in a blue coat, lined with crimson silk and laced with gold very richly, crimson damask waistcoat and breeches, a vel- vet cap, richly embroidered, with a white feather, white silk stockings and red- 195 196 THE WAVERLEY I) ICTION ARY. heeled shoes, which were the extremity of finery among the gallants of the day, He had a gold chain several times folded around his neck, which sustained a whistle of the same metal, the ensign of his authority. Above all he wore a deco- ration peculiar to those daring depredators, who, besides one, or, perhaps, two, brace of pistols at their belt, had usually two additional brace, of the finest mounting and workmanship, suspended over their shoulders in a sort of sling or scarf of crimson ribbon. The hilt and mounting of the Captain's sword corre- sponded in value to the rest of his appointments, and his natural good mien was so well adapted to the whole equipment, that when he appeared on deck he was received with a general shout by the whole crew. Ch. xxxiv. Cleveland was shipwrecked, and became the inmate of Magnus Trail's household, and love soon developed between Cleveland and Minna Troil. His father had been a pirate, and early governing circumstances had forced Cleveland into the same career. He longed to begin a new life with Minna, and his past became a memory of horror. He was pained that she idealized his profession, and spoke frankly to her about it, but when she perceived the atrocity of piracy she refused to marry him, and he accepted his fate in hopeless mis- ery. He said: “I have always endeavoured to distinguish myself rather by acts of adventur- ous valour than by schemes of revenge or plunder, and that at length I could save lives by a rude jest, and, sometimes, by the excess of the measures which I myself proposed, could induce those under me to intercede in favour of prison- ers; so that the seeming severity of my character has better served the cause of humanity than had I appeared directly devoted to it.” Ch. xxii. He was made a prisoner by the government, but his former noble acts secured him his liberty, and he was given a position on a ship of war. He fell, ~- Leading the way in a gallant and honourable enterprise, which was success- fully accomplished by those companions to whom his determined bravery had opened the road.

He was a man betwixt forty and fifty, rather under the middle size, but so very strongly made that his crew used to compare him to a sixty-four cut down. Black-haired, bull-necked and beetle-browed, his clumsy strength and ferocious countenance contrasted strongly with the manly figure and gpen countenance of Cleveland.

A whimsical old bard, whose minstrelsy and im- provisation delighted the Zetlanders. A little slight-made old man, whose eye retained all the vivacity of spirit which had supported him under the thousand vicissitudes of a changeful and precarious life, and which, accompanying him in his old age, rendered his grey hairs less awfully reverend, perhaps, but not less beloved, than would a more grave and less imaginative expression of countenance and character. Ch. xii. Halcro had seen Dryden in his youth, and spoke continually and enthusiastically of “Glorious John.” He was a chronic narrator, and used such circumlocution that neither the point nor the end of his stories was ever reached.

A cynical and misanthropic recluse. His youth had been blighted by a painful romance and his manhood betrayed by a faithless wife. He became an avenger and a corsair. In weari- mess of life and remorse for his crimes upon land and sea, he sought a retreat upon the Zetland Islands. He changed his name from Waughan to Mertoum, and, as a penance, he endured the society of his wife's son, Mordaunt, whose right to call him father was doubt- ful. Mertoum had seasons of solitary agony, and, if enraged, dis- played an appalling fury. Years passed without tidings of Clement, his beloved son by Norma, and he found him, at length, in the con- 198 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. demned pirate, Cleveland.

Basil Mertoum's son; a brave, imaginative * and handsome youth; the leader of the youthful sports and revels. The sinewy limbs and graceful form of Mordaunt Mertoum were seen to great advantage in his simple sea dress; and with his dark sparkling eye, finely- formed head, animated features, close-curled dark hair, and bold, free looks, . . . was . . . a youth whose exterior was . . . prepossessing. Ch. V. Though his father was interested in his welfare and education, Mordaunt felt that he did not love him as much as a son could expect, and he sought the society of Minna and Brenda Troil, at first without a preference for either. Cleveland persecuted him, think- ing that Mordaunt aspired to Minna, and Norna mistook him for her son. During an estrangement between himself and the Troil family, Brenda and Mordaunt learned that they loved each other, and were, finally, married. Ch. i., ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii., ix, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, xviii, xxiii, Xxxiii, xxxix., x1, xlii. See BASIL MERTOUN; TROIL (BRENDA and MINNA). . Norna of the Fitful-head. A sibyl, related to Magnus Troil. While escaping from home with the object of her youthful and secret love, she was the accidental cause of her father's death. Speaking of these events, Norna (Ulla Troil) said: “All that follows is mist and darkness, . . . until I became assured that my doom was accomplished, and walked forth the calm and terrible being you now behold me — the queen of the elements. . . . I am taken from humanity to be something pre-eminently powerful, pre-eminently wretched : " Ch. xix. Norna was The victim of remorse and insanity, and the dupe of her own imposture; her mind, too, flooded with all the wild literature and extravagant superstitions of the North. Int. (1831). Norna had an extraordinary knowledge of the signs of the weather, and was familiar with all the secret recesses of the island, and had at her command a considerable income—so she was enabled to con- trol, in a measure, passing events, and to carry to a successful issue her own plans. She might well have represented on the stage, so far as features, voice and stature were concerned, the Bonduca or Boadicea of the Britoms, or the sage Welleda, Aurinia, or any other fated Pythoness, who ever led to battle a tribe of the ancient Goths. IIer features were high and well formed, and would have been handsome but for the ravages ox time and the effects of exposure to the severe weather of her countº.

Her upper garment . was of a coarse, dark-coloured stuff called wadmaal. . . . But as she threw this cloak back from her shoulders, a short jacket of dark blue velvet, stamped with figures, became visible, and the vest, which corresponded to it, was of crim- son colour, and embroidered with tarnished silver. Her girdle was plated with silver ornaments, cut into the shape of planetary signs — her blue apron was embroidered with similar devices, and covered a petticoat of crimson cloth. Strong, thick, enduring shoes, of the half-dressed leather of the country, were tied with straps, like those of the Roman buskins, over her scarlet stock- ings. She wore in her belt an ambiguous-looking weapon, which might pass for a sacrificing knife or dagger, as the imagination of the spectator chose to assign to the wearer the character of a priestess or of a sorceress. In her hand she held a staff, squared on all sides, and engraved with Runic characters and figures, forming one of those portable and perpetual calendars which were used among the ancient natives of Scandinavia, and which, to a superstitious eye, might have passed for a divining-rod. Such were the appearance, features, and attire of Norma of the Fitful-head, upon whom many of the inhabitants of the island looked with observance, many with fear, and almost all with a sort of venera- tion. . . . Among those who were supposed to be in league with disembodied spirits, this Norma . . . was so eminent, that the name assigned to her, which signifies one of those fatal sisters who weave the Web of human fate, had been conferred in honour of her supernatural powers. . . . Certain it is, that she per- formed her part with such undoubting confidence, and such striking dignity of look and action, and evinced, at the same time, such strength of language and energy of purpose, that it would have been difficult for the greatest sceptic to have doubted the reality of her enthusiasm, though he might Smile at the pre- tensions to which it gave rise. Ch. v. She mistook Mordaunt Mertoum for her son, who had been sepa- rated from her in infancy, and malignantly conspired against his supposed rival, Cleveland. Not until she had jeopardized Cleve- land's life, did she learn that she was his mother. Henceforth she lived a different life and abandoned her former pretensions, and assumed her own name, Ulla Troil, and brought to the study of the bible what she had left of intellect.

Claud Halcro used to say, in reference to many of the traditionary superstitions around Burgh Westra, that Minna believed them without trembling, and that Brenda trembled without believing them. Ch. xix. Brenda and Mordaunt Mertoum, after a long attachment, were married. Mordaunt and Brenda were as happy as our mortal condition permits us to be. They admired and loved each other— enjoyed easy circumstances—had duties to discharge which they did not neglect; clear in conscience as light of heart, laughed, sung, danced, daffed the world aside, and bid it pass.

The Udaller (proprietor under the old Norwegian law) of Jarlshof. He resided at his mansion, called Burgh Westra. He was an honest, plain Zetland gentleman, somewhat passionate, the neces- sary result of being surrounded by dependents; and somewhat over-convivial in habits, the consequence, perhaps, of having too much time at his disposal; but frank tempered and generous to his people, and kind and hospitable to strangers. THE PIRATE, 201 . . . Magnus Troil . . . was wont to assert that he had never in his life gone to bed drunk (that is, in his own sense of the word); it would have been impossible to prove that he had ever resigned himself to slumber in a state of actual and absolute sobriety. Ch. i. Magnus had early been deprived of a beloved wife, the source of “a short joy and long sorrow.” His daughters were the objects of his tenderest affection. He was descended from the Norwegian Earl who founded Jarlshof, and was attached to the customs and belief of his fathers, and resented indignantly the Scottish encroachments on Zetland. Ch. i, iii, iv, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, xviii, xxi, xxii, xxiii, xxvi, xxvii, xxviii, xxix., xxx, XXXvi, xxxviii, XXXix, xl, xlii. See TROIL (BRENDA and MINNA). - Troil, Minna. Magnus Troil's elder daughter. From her mother, Minna inherited the stately form and dark eyes, the raven locks and finely pencilled brows. . . . Her cheek . . . was so slightly and deli- cately tinged with the rose, that many thought that the lily had an undue pro- portion in her complexion. . . . It was the natural colour of health, and corre- sponded in a peculiar degree with features which seemed calculated to express a contemplative and high-minded character. . . . There was something in the serious beauty of her aspect, in the measured, yet graceful ease of her motions, in the music of her voice, and the serene purity of her eye, that seemed as if Minma Troil belonged naturally to some higher and better sphere, and was but the chance visitant of a world that was not worthy of her. . . . The knowledge which is derived from books was beyond her reach. . . . But the book of nature was before Minna. . . . The information which she acquired by habits of patient attention was indelibly riveted in a naturally powerful memory. She had also a high feeling for the solitary and melancholy grandeur of the scenes in which she was placed. . . . Something in her manners claimed deference (notwithstanding her early youth) as well as affection. Ch. iii. Minna had a patriotic attachment for Zetland, and believed in the Northern legends. The dash and daring of the handsome pirate, Cleveland, captivated her heart, and her poetic imagination invested him with heroic virtues. Minna said to her sister, Brenda: “I love Clement Cleveland. . . . The boldness, the strength, and energy, of his character, to which command is natural and fear unknown, these very properties, which alarm you for my happiness, are the qualities which ensure it. . . . My lover must be a sea-king, or what else modern times may give that draws near to that lofty character.” Ch. xx. . Minna, having been made a prisoner by Cleveland's crew, was sadly disemchanted in respect to the pirate character. Her moral perceptions were so acute, and her sensibilities so tender, that jus- tice to her own nature compelled her to part forever from Cleveland, and she never married. º But Minna—the high-minded and imaginative—she, gifted with such depth of feeling and enthusiasm, yet doomed to see both blighted in early youth, because, 202 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. with the inexperience of a disposition equally romantic and ignorant, she had built the fabric of her happiness on a quicksand instead of a rock, was she, could she be happy? . . . She was happy. . . . Her resignation, however, and the constant attention which she paid . . . to all who had claims on her, were neither Minna's sole nor her most precious source of comfort. . . . She learned to exchange the visions of wild enthusiasm which had exerted and misled her imagination, for a truer and purer connection with the world beyond us, than could be learned from the sagas of heathem bards, or the visions of later rhym- ers.

His mother, before his birth, dreamed she was to be delivered of a plow drawn by three oxen, which she interpreted as a sign of her child's future greatness. He was christened Triptolemus in refer- ence to the maternal vision, and was educated for the ministry. His tastes, however, were agricultural, but not of a profitable mature. He brought himself to the verge of destitution by his theories, new implements and expensive improvements. He went from Scotland to the Orkney and Zetland islands as the agent of a nobleman, whom he had impressed with his farming abilities. He made himself disagreeable to the islanders by insisting on his lord's prerogatives and his own superior judgment. He was lazy and luxurious; and his conviction that he had been born a century too soon was not his only trouble, for he was made to observe a perpet- ual Lent by his penurious and tyrannical sister. Triptolemus was a short, clumsy, duck-legged disciple of Ceres, whose bottle nose, turned up and handsomely coppered at the extremity, seemed to intimate something of an occasional treaty with Bacchus, Ch. v.

THE FORTUNES OF NIGEL. - A ROMANCE. wº ARGUMENT. HIS romance is laid in London and its vicinity, during the reign of James I. Armstrong, Archie. King James' famous jester. Ch. vi., xxxvii. Bash and Battie. King James' greyhounds. Ch. xxvii. Beaujeu, Le Chevalier. The obsequious host of a fashionable London Ordinary and Gaming-house. Monsieur Le Chevalier, [as he qualified himself, Saint Priest de Beaujeu, was a sharp, thin Gascon, about sixty years old, banished from his own country, as he said, on account of an affair of honour, in which he had the misfortune to kill his antagonist, though the best swordsman in the south of France. His preten- sions to quality were supported by a feathered hat, a long rapier, and a suit of embroidered taffeta, not much the worse for wear, in the extreme fashion of the Parisian court, and fluttering like a May-pole with many knots of ribbon, of which it was computed he bore at least five hundred yards about his person. "But, notwithstanding this profuse decoration, there were many who thought Monsieur Le Chevalier so admirably calculated for his present situation, that mature could never have meant to place him an inch above it. It was, however, part of the amusement of the place for Lord Dalgarno and other young men of quality to treat Monsieur de Beaujeu with a great deal of mock ceremony, which being observed by the herd of more ordinary and simple gulls, they paid him, in clumsy innitation, much real deference. The Gascon's natural forwardness being much enhanced by these circumstances, he was often guilty of presuming beyond the limits of his situation, and of course had sometimes the mortification to be disagreeably driven back into them.

The Earl.of Huntinglen's daughter, and a rumored favorite with the Duke of Buckingham. e She . . . had probably completed her six lustres; but the deficiency in ex- treme youth was more than atomed for in the most precise and curious accuracy of attire, an early acquaintance with every foreign mode; and a peculiar gift in adapting the knowledge which she acquired to her own particular features and complexion. At court, she knew as well as any lady in the circle, the precise tone, moral. political. learned or jocose. in which it was proper to answer the 204 & THE FORTUNES OF NIGEL. 205 Monarch, according to his prevailing humour; and was supposed to have been very active, by her personal interest, in procuring her husband a high situation, which the gouty old viscount could never have descryed by any merit of his own commonplace conduct and understanding. . . . Lady Blackchester possessed. great influence on the circle around her, both from her beauty, her abilities, and her reputed talents for court intrigue. Ch. xiii. Ch. xiii, xv, xxxii. See BUCKINGHAMI; DALGARNO; HUNTINGLEN. Buckingham, George Williers, Duke of. The imperious favorite of both King James and Prince Charles. The King called him Steenie, From a supposed resemblance betwixt his very handsome countenance, and that with which the Italian artists, represented the proto-martyr, Stephen. . . He entered, that unhappy minion of court favour, sumptuously dressed in the picturesque attire which will live forever on the canvas of Wandyke, and which marks so well.the proud age, when aristocracy, though undermined and nodding to its fall, still, by external show and profuse expense, endeavoured to assert its paramount superiority over the inferior orders. The handsome and command- ing countenance, stately form, and graceful action and manners of the Duke of Buckingham, made him become that picturesque dress beyond any man of his time. Ch. ix. - g - A singular fate attended this accomplished courtier, in being at once the reigning favourite of a father and son so very opposite in manners, that, to ingratiate himself with the youthful Prince, he was obliged to compress within the strictest limits of respectful observance, the frolicsome and free humour which captivated his aged father.

Im- bittered and broken-hearted, he commenced a search for his wife, who had eloped with Lord Dalgarno. He found her after Dalgarno's murder, and, with dignity, he said to her: “ Kneel liot to me, woman, . . . but kneel to the God thou hast offended more than thou couldst offend such another worm as thyself. . . . Vanity brought folly, and folly brought sin, and sin hath brought death, his original companion. Thou must needs leave duty, and decency, and domestic love, to revel it gayly with the wild and the wicked; and there thou liest like a crushed worm, writh- ing beside the lifeless body of thy paramour. Thou hast done me much wrong 206 - THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. — dishonoured me among my friends — driven credit from my house, and peace from my fireside; but thou wert my first and only love, and I will not sec thee an utter castaway, if it lies with me to prevent it. . . .

One of Hildebrod's counselors in Alsatia; a gambler and highwayman, with a portly form and Sav- age countenance. He had formerly been a Low Country soldier, and was a cowardly, drunken and malignant bully. The noble Captain Colepepper, or Peppercull, for he was known by both these names, and some others besides, had a martial and swashing exterior, which, on the present occasion, was rendered yet more peculiar by a patch covering his left eye and a part of the cheek. The sleeves of his thickset velvet jerkin were polished and shone with grease; his buff gloves had huge tops, which reached almost to the elbow ; his sword-belt, of the same materials, extended its breadth from his haunch-bone to his small-ribs, and supported on the one side his large, black-hilted backsword, on the other a dagger of like proportions. Ch. xxiii. Failing in his pretensions to the hand of the heiress, Martha Trap- bois, he murdered her father, but was forced to fly without the cov- eted treasure. For purposes of plunder, he murdered Lord Dalgarno, and was slain himself a few moments afterward. Ch. xii, xvii, xxii, xxiii, xxiv, xxv, xxvi, xxxiv, xxxv, xxxvi.

Dalgarno, from motives of policy, defamed Glenvarloch's character, and insidiously endeavored to lead him into ruinous dissipation. Beneath a courtly exterior he concealed a malignant, satirical and licentious character. He was dressed point-de-vice, and almost to extremity, in the splendid fashion of the time, which suited well with his age, probably about five-and-twenty, with THE FORTUN ES OF NIG EJL. 207 a noble form and fine countenance; . . . his address was gallant, free, and un- cncumbered either by pride or ceremony. Ch. x. He was banished from court and disowned by his father on account of the deception he had practiced upon Lady Hermione. He bore himself with heartless nonchalance under these circumstances. After marrying the lady, he started northward with her money, but lin- gered on the way in hopes of an encounter with Lord Nigel, whom he blamed for the dénouement that had disgraced him. He was killed by robbers, and died in the arms of his paramour, Nelly Christie. Ch. x, xi, xii, xiii, xv, xvi, xx, xxvii, xxxii, xxxiv, xxxvi.

Nigel Olifaunt; a young Scottish nobleman, who came to London in hopes of obtaining from the King a sum of money which he had owed to Lord Nigel's father, and which was necessary to prevent the sale of the castle and estates of Glenvar- loch. But as Buckingham desired the land, the King would not. interest himself in Nigel's suit. Dalgarno, Buckingham's friend, attempted to force Glenvarloch into disadvantageous conduct. Nigel was handsome, accomplished and upright, but he was inexperienced in London life, and committed many follies, which were so exagge- rated as to prejudice the King against him. He accused Dalgarno of treachery, and struck him in the royal park, and fled to White- friars to prevent the execution of his right hand. Afterward, meet- ing the King, he solicited his favor, but the timid monarch accused him of intended assassination, and Nigel was committed to the tower. The King, at length, was moved to befriend Nigel, and his estates were recovered, and Nigel became the possessor of wealth and Margaret Ramsay's hand.

Pauletti; Heriot's ward, and a friend to Margaret Ramsay. She possessed immense wealth, and was still beautiful, notwithstanding the remarkable pallor of her complexion, which strangely contrasted with her black hair. She lived in melancholy seclusion at George Heriot's house, and was the subject of much conjecture to those unacquainted with her history. She had been deceived in Spain by Dalgarno with a false marriage, and her life was practiced upon in a convent by the avaricious in- mates. Dalgarno endeavored to bestow her, as a mistress, upon Buckingham, but when the Duke learned of the lady's wrongs, he assisted her journey to England. She petitioned the King, and Dalgarno was compelled to marry her. She immediately separated from him, and accepted of the offered protection of his father, the Earl of Huntinglem. She was soon a widow, and made her kins- man, Glenwarloch, and his wife, Margaret Ramsay, her heirs. Ch. vii, xviii, xix., xx, xxxii, xxxvi, xxxvii. See DALGARNO; GLENVAR- Loch; HERIOT; MARGARET RAMSAY. w Hildebrod, Jacob, Duke. Chief magistrate of Alsatia (the sanctu- ary of Whitefriars, and refuge for legal offenders); a shrewd and good-natured man, ever on the alert for his own interests. Duke Hildebrod . . . was a monstrously fat old man, with only one eye, and a nose which bore evidence of the frequent strength and depth of his potations. He wore a murrey-coloured plush jerkin, stained with the overflowings of the tankard, and much the worse for Wear, and unbuttoned at bottom for the ease of his enormous paunch. Behind him. lay a favourite bull-dog, whose round head and single black, glancing eye, as well as the creature's great corpulence, gave it a burlesque resemblance to its master. Ch. xvii. Duke Hildebrod . . . seemed an absolute sandbed, capable of absorbing any given quantity of liquor without being either vivified or overflowed. He drank THE FORTUNES OF NIGEL. 209 of the ale to quench a thirst which, as he said, kept him in a fever from morning to night, and night to morning; tippled off the sack to correct the crudity of the ale; sent the spirits after the sack to keep all quiet, and then declared that, probably, he should not taste liquor till post meridžem, unless it was in compliment to some special friend. Ch. xxiii. Ch. xvii, xxiii, xxv. - Huntinglen, Earl of. A sterm old Scottish nobleman, who clung to the manners and customs of a rougher age. Though Nigel's feudal enemy, he kindly befriended him. As he had saved James from threatened assassination, he was privileged to ask an annual boom of the King. He only used this rare opportunity for courtly preferment to obtain “butts of sack, hawks, hounds,” etc. Hunt- inglem was overwhelmed with shame and sorrow at his son's vil- 3 * lainy toward Lady Hermione, and bestowed his “malison” upon Dalgarno. Ch. ix, x, xiii, xxxii, xxxvi. See DALGARNO; GLENVAR- LOCH; LADY HERMIONE. James I. King of England. He is represented as being a pedantic, good-natured and gossipy old man, timid in the presence of weap- Oms, governed by favorites, and very penurious. But there was a natural awkwardness about his figure which prevented his clothes from sitting handsomely, and the prudence or timidity of his disposition had made him adopt the custom . . . of wearing a dress so thickly quilted as might withstand the stroke of a dagger, which added an ungainly stiffness to his whole appearance, contrasting oddly with the frivolous, ungraceful and fidget- ing motions with which he accompanied his conversation. And yet, though the King's deportment was very undignified, he had a manner so kind, familiar and good-humoured, was so little apt to veil over or conceal his own foibles, and had So much indulgence and sympathy for those of others, that his address, joined to his learning and a certain proportion of shrewd mother-wit, failed not to make a favourable impression on those who approached his person. Ch. ix. The King's fear of Naked steel . . . was usually ascribed to the brutal murder of Rizzio hav- ing been perpetrated in his unfortunate mother's presence before he yet saw the light. Ch. xxvii.

No scout in Oxford, no gip in Cambridge, ever matched him in speed and intel- ligence. He knows the step of a dun from that of a client, when it reaches the bottom of the staircase; can tell the trip of a pretty wench from the step of a bencher, when at the upper end of the court.” Ch. xvi.

But Reginald Lowestoffe . . . was of opinion that little law was necessary to enable him to spend the revenues of the paternal acres which were to devolve upon him at his father's demise. . . . In other respects, he was one of the wits of the place, read Ovid and Martial, aimed, at quick repartee and pun (often very far-fetched), danced, fenced, played at tennis, and performed sundry tunes on the fiddle and French horn, to the great annoyance of old Counsellor Barrater, who lived in the chambers immediately below him.

He ran away with his murdered master's money. Ch. xi, xxxvi. See DALG ARNo. Malagrowther, Sir Mungo. A crabbed and backbiting old Scottish courtier, whose countenance was grotesquely ugly. He was educated with King James as whipping-boy, receiving upon his own person the chastisement that the royal scholar deserved. Sir Mungo indulged in a malicious, caustic and envious humor, and early lost three fingers of his right hand in a duel, and was lamed for life on account of some odious verses he had written about a court lady. He grew old, deaf and peevish. . . . Sir Mungo, thus fallen into the yellow leaf of years and fortune, showed his emaciated form and faded embroidery at Court as seldom as his duty permitted; and spent his time in indulging his food for Satire in the public walks, and in the aisles of Saint Paul's, which were then the general resort of mewsmongers and characters of all descriptions, associat- THE FORTUNES OF NIGEL. 211 ing himself chiefly with such of his countrymen as he accounted of inferior birth and rank to himself. In this manner, hating and contemming commerce, and those who pursued it, he nevertheless lived a good deal among the Scottish artists and merchants, who had followed the Court to London. To these he could show his cynicism without much offence; for some submitted to his jeers and ill-humour in deference to his birth and knighthood, which in those days conferred high privileges; and others, of more sense, pitied and endured the old man, unhappy alike in his fortunes and his temper.

He was tall, solemn and raw-boned, and had the appearance of a “half-pedant, half-bully.” Disapproving of his master's conduct, he left his service. But when misfortunes came to Nigel, he devotedly returned to him. He accidentally was of service to the heiress, Martha Trapbois, and she agreed to marry him if he would avenge her father's murder. This he did by killing the desperado, Colepepper. The King expressed his appreciation of Richie's virtues by knighting him, upon his mar- riage with Martha Trapbois. Richie, with all his good intentions, was . . . a conceited, pragmatical domes- tic, who seemed rather disposed to play the tutor than the lackey, and who, out of sheer love, as he alleged, to his master’s person, assumed the privilege of in- terfering with, and controlling, his actions, besides rendering him ridiculous in the gay world, from the antiquated formality and intrusive presumption of his manners.

But though from these circumstances the city beauty had become as wilful, as capricious and as affected as unlimited in- dulgence seldom fails to render those to whom it is extended, . . . Mistress Margaret had much real shrewdness and judgment, which wanted only oppor- tunities of observation to refine it—a lively, good-humoured, playful disposi- tion and an excellent heart. Ch. xviii. Margaret, unknown to Lord Nigel, became interested in him. With skill, perseverance and modesty she devoted herself to deliv- ering him from his difficulties. She was detected by the King while disguised as a page. She confessed to James her attachment for Nigel, and secured the King's favor in his behalf. She was afterward married to Lord Nigel at Heriot's mansion, the King giving away the bride. Ch. i., vi, viii, xviii, xix., xx, xxviii, xxix., xxx, xxxv, xxxvii.

Benjamin Suddlechop's wife; “A Secret agent in all manner of proceedings,” and a vendor of certain drugs, pomades, etc. She always kept the secrets confided to her, unless sufficiently bribed to disclose them, and had established a reputation for trustworthiness. In fact, she was a most admirable matron, and could be useful to the impas- sioned and the frail in the rise, progress and consequences of their passion. She could contrive an interview for lovers who could show proper reasons for meet- ing privately; she could relieve the frail fair one of the burden of a guilty passion, and, perhaps, establish the hopeful offspring of unlicensed love as the heir of some family whose love was lawful, but where an heir had not followed the union. More than this she could do, and had been concerned in deeper and dearer secrets. . . . But all that was deep and dark in her real character was cov- ered by the show of outward mirth and good humour. . . . Marriages, births and christenings were seldom thought to be performed with sufficient ceremony, for a considerable distance round her abode, unless Dame Ursley, as they called her, was present. She could contrive all sorts of pastimes, games and jests. . . . Dame Ursley was, nevertheless, so poor that she might probably have mended her own circumstances, as well as her husband's, if she had . . . set herself quietly down to the care of her own household, and to assist Benjamin in the concerns of his trade. But Ursula was luxurious and genial in her habits, and could no more have endured the stinted economy of Benjamin's board than she could have reconciled herself to the bald chat of his conversation. Ch. viii. She effectually assisted Margaret Ramsay to extricate Lord Nigel from his troubles, but her darker deeds compelled her to leave Lon- don, and she died in the Amsterdam bridewell.

She was dressed in what was called a Queen Mary ruff and farthingale, not the falling ruff with which the unfortunate Mary of Scotland is usually painted, but that which, with more than Spanish stiffness, surrounded the throat and set off the morose head of her fierce namesake, of Smithfield memory. This anti- quated dress assorted well with the faded complexion, grey eyes, thin lips and austere visage of the antiquated maiden, which was, moreover, enhanced by a black hood, worm as her head gear, carefully disposed so as to prevent any of her hair from escaping to view, probably because the simplicity of the period knew mo art of disguising the colour with which time had begun to grizzle her tresses. Her figure was tall, thin and flat, with skinny arms and hands, and feet of the larger size, cased in huge high-heeled shoes, which added height to a stature al- ready umgainly. Ch. xxii. 214 TEIE WAWERLEY DICTIONARY. Besides these unprepossessing traits, one shoulder was higher than the other, and her manner was severe and rude. Nevertheless, Martha was a sensible, honorable and grateful woman. She was discontented with her residence at Whitefriars, and was continually on the alert to keep her old father from danger and dishonor. Lord Nigel assisted her flight, with her immense wealth, from Alsatia, after her father's murder. She liberally repaid this service in Nigel's meed. In reference to her marriage with Richard Moniplies, she said: “I chose this man because he was my protector when I was desolate, and neither for his wit nor wisdom. He is truly honest, and has a heart and hand that makes amends for some folly. Since I was condemned to seek a protector through the world, which is to me a wilderness, I may thank God that I have come by no worse.” Ch. xxxvii. Ch. xvii, xxii, xxiii, xxiv, xxv, xxvi, xxxvii.

See DAVID RAMSAY; JENKIN WINCENT. Vincent, Jenkin. David Ramsay's apprentice — called Jim Wim. Vincent had been educated at the excellent foundation of Christ's-Church Hospital. and was bred, therefore, as well as born. a Londoner, with all the acuteness, address and audacity which belong peculiarly to the youth of a me- tropolis. He was now about twenty years old. short in stature, but remarkably strong made, eminent for his feats upon holidays, at foot-ball and other gymnas- tic exerciscs. . . . He knew every lane, blind alley and sequestered court of the ward better than his Catechism; was alike active in his master's affairs and in his own adventures of fun and mischief. . . . His head, upon which his 'pren- tice cap was generally flung in a careless and oblique fashion; was closely cov- ered with thick hair of raven black, which curled maturally and closely, and would have grown to great length but for the modest custom enjoined by his state of life, and strictly enforced by his master, which compelled him to keep it short-cropped. . . . Vincent’s eyes were deep-sel, in his head, of a strong, vivid THE FORTUNES OF NIGEL. 215 black, full of fire, roguery and intelligence, and conveying a humourous expres- sion, even while he was uttering the usual small talk of his trade, as if he ridi- culed those who were disposed to give any weight to his commonplaces. He had address enough, however, to add little touches of his own, which gave a turn of drollery even to this ordinary routine of the booth; and the alacrity of his man- ner, his ready and obvious wish to oblige, his intelligence and civility, when he thought civility necessary, made him a universal favourite with his master's cus- tomers. His features were far from regular, for his nose was flattish, his mouth tending to the larger size, and his complexion inclined to be more dark than was them thought to be consistent with masculine beauty. . . . His turned-up nose gave an air of spirit and raillery to what he said, and seconded the laugh of his eyes. Ch. i. Unfortunately, Vincent lifted aspiring eyes to his master's daugh- ter, Margaret Ramsay. Dame Suddlechop was employed by Marga- ret to assist Lord Nigel, and she made a tool of Vincent. She assured him that only by aiding Nigel could he win Margaret's favor, so he meglected his business and devoted himself to Lord Nigel's interests. He assumed various disguises, and even suffered a brief imprisonment. The wretched and deluded youth broke his indenture upon hearing of Margaret's marriage with Lord Nigel. The interference of friends saved him from ruin, and it was so arranged for him that he entered into partnership with his com- panion, Turnstall, and commenced business under favorable circum- stances. - Ch. i., ii, w, xii, xxi, xxii, xxv, xxvi, xxvii, xxxv, xxxvi.

A black boy, superbly dressed, like an Oriental page, with gold bracelets on his naked arms, and a gold collar around his equally bare neck. Ch. xxxi. Ch. xxxi. Beacon, Tom. Chiffinch's groom. Ch. xxvii. Blood, Thomas, Colonel. One of Buckingham's minions; a des- perado celebrated for his daring and adroitness. He was a revolu- tionist, and the associate of austere Puritans. Previous to the date of the romance, he attempted to purloin the crown jewels from the Tower. He was middle aged, tall and strongly built, with large serious eyes. Buckingham thus described him: A robber from his cradle, a murderer since he could hold a knife, a profound hypocrite in religion, and a worse and deeper hypocrite in honour; would sell his soul to the devil to accomplish any villainy, and would cut the throat of his brother, did he dare give the villainy he had so acted its right name. Ch. xxxviii. Ch. xxxviii, x1, xlvi, xlix. See BUCKINGHAM. Brewer, Sam. Sir Geoffrey Peveril's groom. Ch. vi. Bridgenorth, Alice. Ralph Bridgenorth's beautiful daughter and heiress. Julian Peveril and Alice secretly loved each other. Owing to an estrangement between their families, Alice regarded their love as hopeless, and discouraged Julian's passion. Her uncle, Edward Christian, plotted to make her the King's mistress. Under Julian's protection, she fled from the pursuit of the King and Buckingham; and after these events, Julian and Alice were married with their parents' consent. 10 217 218 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. The sad-coloured gown; the pinched and plaited cap, which carefully obscured the profusion of long dark-brown hair; the small ruff, and the long sleeves, would have appeared to great disadvantage on a shape less graceful than Alice Bridgenorth's; but an exquisite form, though not as yet sufficiently rounded in the outlines to produce the perfection of female beauty, was able to sustain and give grace even to this unbecoming dress. Her countenance, fair and delicate, with eyes of hazel and a brow of alabaster, had, notwithstanding, less regular beauty than her form, and might have been justly subjected to criticism. There was, however, a life and spirit in her gayety, and a depth of sentiment in her gravity, which made Alice, in conversation with the very few persons with whom she associated, so fascinating in her manners and expression, whether of lan- guage or countenance; so touching, also, in her simplicity and purity of thought, that brighter beauties might have been Överlooked in her company.

The wealthy and shrewd proprietor of Moultrassie Hall. He was disinterested in his friendships, and a devoted husband and father. He suffered many domestic bereave- ments, and was a melancholy mourner for his wife. He was a severe Puritan, and had been a Parliamentary major in the Civil War. He gradually sank into gloomy political and religious fanat- icism, and went to America after the failure of a conspiracy against the government. His enmity against the Countess of Derby de- stroyed his long friendship with her relatives, the Peverils.

The King's favorite, and the son of the first Duke of Buckingham, who was so highly regarded by James I and Charles I. He was reckless, haughty and handsome, as well as voluptuous and ambitious. Amid the gay and licentious of the laughing Court of Charles, the Duke was the most licentious and most gay; yet, while expending a princely fortune, a strong constitution and excellent talents in pursuit of frivolous pleasures, he nevertheless nourished deeper and more extensive designs, in which he only failed from want of that fixed purpose and regulated perseverance essential to all-important enterprises, but particularly in politics. Ch. xxviii. He attempted to rival Charles in Alice Bridgenorth's favor, and becoming angry at the King's refusal of his niece's hand, he con- PEW ERIL OF THE PEAK. 219 spired against the government; but King Charles indulgently for- gave him both offenses. Dryden wrote of him: “A man so various, that he seem'd to be Not one, but all mankind's epitome; Stiff in opinions — always in the wrong; Was everything by starts, but nothing long; Who, in the course of onc revolving moon, Was chemist, fiddler, statesman, and buffoon; Then, all for women, painting, fiddling, drinking, Besides a thousand frcaks that died in thinking.” Ch. xxviii.

Catherine, Queen. Charles' Portuguese consort. Queen Catherine, reconciled or humbled to her fate, had long ceased to express any feelings of jealousy; nay, seemed so absolutely dead to such a passion, that she received at her drawing-room, without scruple, and even with encouragement, the Duchesses of Portsmouth and Cleveland, and others, who enjoyed, though in a less avowed character, the credit of having been royal favourites.

Past the middle age of life, of a dark complexion, corresponding with the long, black, full-bottomed periwig, which he wore instead of his own hair. His dress was plain black velvet, with a diamond star, however, on his cloak, which hung carelessly over one shoulder. His features, strongly lined, even to harsh- mess, had yet an expression of dignified good humour; he was well and strongly built, walked upright and yet easily, and had upon the whole the air of a person of the highest consideration. He kept rather in advance of his companions; but turned and spoke to them, from time to time, with much affability, and probably with some liveliness, judging by the smiles, and sometimes the scarce restrained laughter, by which some of his sallies were received by his attend- ants. . . . They shared the attention of their principal in common with seven or eight little black curly-haired spaniels, or rather, as they are now called, cock- ers, which attended their master as closely, and perhaps with as deep sentiments of attachment, as the bipeds of the group, and whose gambols, which seemed to 220 THE WAW ERLEY DICTION ARY. afford him much amusement, he sometimes checked and sometimes encouraged, Ch.

Tom Chiffinch's mistress. She was saucy, vul- gar and hypocritical, and presumed with effrontery on her favor with the King. In order that Alice Bridgenorth's path to infamy, as the King's mistress, might be speedy, Christian left her in charge of the experienced “Hen Chiffinch,” who afterward asserted that Charles was consoled by her society for the puritanical Alice's flight. It would not be easy to describe her, but by weighing her natural good quali- ties against the affectations which counterbalanced them. She would have been handsome, but for rouge and mānauderie — would have been civil, but for over- strained airs of patronage and condescension — would have had an agreeable voice, had she spoken in her natural tone — and fine eyes, had she not made such desperate hard use of them. She could only spoil a pretty ankle by too liberal display; but her shape, though she could not yet be thirty years old, had the embonpoint which might have suited better with ten years more advanced. Ch. XXX. It was one, and not perhaps the least prejudicial, consequence of the license of that ill-governed time, that the bounds betwixt virtue and vice were so far smoothed down and levelled that the frail wife, or the tender friend who was no wife, did not necessarily lose their place in society; but, on the contrary, if they moved in the higher circles, were permitted and encouraged to mingle with women whose rank was certain, and whose reputation was untainted. A regu- lar liaison, like that of Chiffinch and his fair onc, inferred little scandal. . . . As Charles himself expressed it, the lady . . . had obtained a brevet commission to rank as a married woman. And to do this gentle dame justice, no wife could have been more attentive to forward his plans, or more liberal in disposing of his income. She inhabited a set of apartments called Chiffinch's — the scene of many an intrigue, both of love and politics; and where Charles often held his private parties for the evening, when, as frequently happened, the ill-humour of the Duchess of Portsmouth, his reigning Sultana, prevented his supping with her.

When incognito he called himself Richard Ganlesse. He was hypocritical, cool, dar- ing and licentious. He intrigued both with Puritans and courtiers. Amid his villainy and debauchery he never forgot his hatred of the Countess of Derby, who had executed his brother for a political of- fense. He endeavored to keep alive a faith in the Popish Plot, and to implicate the Countess. To do this it would be necessary to sup- plant the King's Catholic mistress, the Duchess of Portsmouth. Christian resolved that his niece should achieve his vengeance and fortune by becoming Charles's ruling favorite. He was foiled by Alice Bridgenorth's virtue, and was exiled to America on account of an ambitious and treasonable plot, He was accompanied by his daughter, Fenella, whom he had trained to dissimulation, and who, unconscious of their near relationship, betrayed him to the King.

She afterward had sole charge of Alice Bridgenorth, and so impressed Bridgenorth with the belief that Alice's health de- pended on her care that he retained her in his household after his daughter had reached womanhood. She was obstimate, coquet- tish and untruthful. She was embarrassed by the romance which she had allowed to develop between Julian Peveril and Alice. Be- ing dismissed from Bridgenorth's service, she was separated, for twenty years, from her lover, Lance Outram, whose heart time had changed. She had saved considerable money in the meanwhile, and he had to fly to escape the “crown matrimonial.” Ch. v, viii, x, xi, xii, xiv, xxv, xxvi. See LANCE OUTRAM. DePigal, Monsieur.

William Christian led a revolt of the Manx men during the Civil War, and she was imprisoned. She was offered her liberty upon the condi- tion of renouncing her son's right to the sovereignty of the Isle of Man. The Countess indignantly refused such terms, and after the restoration, as regent for her son, she tried and executed Christian for treason. The government compelled her to pay a large fine for her summary vengeance, and Christian's friends cherished a deadly enmity against her, and endeavored to implicate her in the Popish Plot. She ventured to Court in the height of the Catholic excite- ment, and received the honorable exculpation that her loyalty de- manded. - A lady in a mourning dress, past the meridian of life, but whose countenance still retained traces of great beauty, although the predominant character both of her features and person was an air of almost royal dignity. . . . Her eyes were deep black, keen and piercing, and her features had something of a foreign expression. When she spoke, her language was marked by a slight foreign ac- cent, although in construction it was pure English. Her slightest tone and gest- ure had the air of one accustomed to command and to be obeyed. Ch. v. Ch. v, vi, vii, x, xiv, xv, xvi, xviii, xix., xxix., xli., xlv, xlvi. xlix.

Christian, assuming to be her uncle, endeavored to train her fierce passions to desire vengeance upon the Countess of Derby, who, he said, had murdered her father, Colonel William Christian. Zarah pretended to be a deaf and dumb mute, and the Countess, in pity, attaches her to her household, nam- ing her Fenella. She communicated with others by signs and writ- ing, and resided for years with the Countess as a spy, and never betrayed herself; but, unfortunately, she becomes hopelessly and absorbingly in love with Julian Peveril. She had an acute intellect, an expressive countenance and a haughty and impatient temper. While assisting Christian's schemes in London she meets, fascinates and scorms Buckingham. She becomes weary of Christian's debas- ing dominion, and warns the King of his conspiracy. She is horrified to learn that her testimony has endangered her father instead of her supposed uncle, and follows him to America. She plays an unsatis- factory part in the romance, and her character is inconsistent, artifi- Clal and unnatural. Ch. xv, xvi, xviii, xix, XX, XXX, XXXi, xxxii, xxxv, -xxxvi, xxxix., xlvii, xlix.

Oates was, by nature, choleric, and the credit that he had acquired made him insolent and conceited. Even his exterior was portentous.

Sir Geoffrey had a proud affection for his wife and son, and in his general character resembled the country gentleman of the period. He was proud of small advantages, angry at small disappointments, incapable of forming any resolution or opinion abstracted from his own prejudices.

Son and heir of Sir Geoffrey Peveril. He was educated in the household of the Countess of Derby, and was nobly free from the vices and levity of his generation. He loved Alice Bridgenorth, but a family quarrel prevented the open acknowledg- ment of their attachment. The Countess intrusted him with a dan- gérous mission to London. He was suspected of having connection with the Popish Plot, but was rescued from confinement at Bridge- north's house by his father's retainers. While protecting Alice from insult he became involved in a mêlée, and was sent to the Tower, again charged with Catholic conspiracy. When freed from his diffi- culties, his father was prevailed upon to consent to Julian's marriage with Alice, and by this alliance the Peverils recovered their incum- bered property.

QUENTIN DURWARD. A ROMANCE. A. R. G. U M E N T. This romance is laid in the latter part of the fifteenth century, - and relates to Louis XI, King of France, and Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. The Author of Waverley assumes to have gathered the details of the romance of “Quentin Durward ” from family memoirs, furnished him by the Marquis de Hautlieu, a relic of the ancien régime, at whose chateau the Author made a brief sojourn. Abbess of Ursuline Convent. A prim and pious recluse, who sheltered the Countess Isabelle, and was anxious for her to become a nun. Ch. xxiv, xxxii, XXXV. See ISABELLE DE CROYE. Andrew. Ludovic Lesly's yeoman. Termed coutelier, from the large knife which he wore to despatch those whom in the mêlée his master had thrown to the ground. Ch. V. Ch. v. See LUDOVIC LESLY. Arnot. An archer of the King's Scottish Guard. Ch. vii. Balue, John, Cardinal. Lord Bishop of Auxerre, and Grand Almoner of France. A favorite, whom King Louis had elevated from the lower ranks. The Cardinal, accordingly, had not escaped the error incidental to those who are suddenly raised to power from an obscure position, for he entertained a strong persuasion . . . that his capacity was equal to intermeddling with affairs of every kind, even those most foreign to his profession and studies. Tall and ungainly in his person, he affected gallantry and admiration of the fair sex, although his manners rendered his pretensions absurd, and his profession marked them as indecorous. Some male or female flatterer had, in an evil hour, . possessed him with the idea that there was much beauty of contour in a pair of huge substantial legs, which he had derived from his father, a car-man of Limoges, or according to other authorities, a miller of Verdun; and with this idea he had become so infatuated that he always had his cardinal's robes a little looped up on one side, that the sturdy proportion of his limbs might not escape observation. Ch. viii. 230 QUENTIN DURWARD. 231 The King wounded his presumptuous vanity, and in retaliation the Cardinal influenced Louis to make his subsequent perilous visit to the Duke of Burgundy. - Louis kept his promise of vengeance against Cardinal La Balue, whom he always blamed as having betrayed him to Burgundy. After he had returned to his own kingdom, he caused his late favourite to be immured in one of the iron cages at Loches. These were constructed with horrible ingenuity, so that a person of ordinary size could neither stand up at his full height nor lie length- wise in them. Some ascribed this horrible device to Baluc himself. At any rate, he was confined in one of these dens for eleven years, nor did Louis permit him to be liberated till his last illness. Note to ch. xxviii. - Ch. viii., ix, x, xxv, xxviii, xxxvi. See Louis XI. Beaujeau, Lady of. Princess Anne, King Louis' eldest daughter. Afterwards married to Peter of Bourbon, and known in French history by the name of the Lady of Beaujeau. . . . She was tall and rather handsome, possessed eloquence, talent, and much of her father's sagacity, who reposed great confi- dence in her, and loved her as well, perhaps, as he loved any one. Ch. viii. Ch. viii. See LOUIs XI. Blok, Nikkel. A butcher of Liege, who at De la Marck's command killed the Bishop of Liege with a blow of his cleaver. Ch. xix, xxii. See BISHOP OF LIEGE. Burgundy, Duke of. Charles the Bold. He wore his “feudal bonds '' to France very lightly, and hated his treacherous relative and suzerain, Louis XI, and was in turn despised and feared by the King. He rushed on danger because he loved it. . . . Charles . . . never sacrificed his passions, or cven his humour, to any other consideration. . . . The very soul of bravery, which he pushed to the verge of rashness, and beyond it; profuse in expenditure—splendid in his court, his person and his retinue, in all of which he displayed the hereditary magnificence of the house of Burgundy. Charles the Bold drew into his services almost all the fiery spirits of the age whose tempers were congenial. Ch. i. Ch. i, xxv, xxvi, xxvii, XXX, XXXii, XXXiii, Xxxv, xxxvi, xxxvii.

The frank and faithful Captain of the Archers of the Scottish Guard, who was much trusted by the King. He was a Scottish nobleman who had fought against England under Jeanne d'Arc's banner. 232 THE WAVERLEY DICTION A.R.Y. The King . . . allowed him greater influence because he was never known to interfere excepting in matters which concerned his charge. . . . Lord Crawford was tall, and through advanced age had become gaunt and thin, yet retaining in his sinews the strength, at least, if not the clasticity, of youth. . . . He was hard-favoured, with a scarred and weather-beaten countenance, and an eye that had looked upon death as his play-fellow in thirty pitched battles, but which, nevertheless, expressed a calm contempt of danger, rather than the ferocious courage of a mercenary soldier.

A keen-sighted and haughty Burgundian warrior, and Marshal of the Duke's household. He was a friend to Isabelle de Croye, and exercised a restraining influ- ence over the passionate Duke. He was admired by Louis, to whom he carried an audacious message from the Duke of Burgundy. He had a Lofty look, commanding stature, and undaunted composure of countenance and manner. Ch. viii.

Isabelle de Croye's aunt and protectress. She was fond of gayety, voluble and shrill-voiced. She sighed for the days of chivalry, and delighted in describing the “passage of arms at Haflingham” which had been held in her honor when she was a young beauty. Crèvecoeur described her as “That blundering, romantic, old match-making and match-seeking idiot.” Ch. xxiv. She was tall and graceful, though somewhat haughty in her deportment, . . . with a smile of gracious condescension. . . . She had been long the inhabitant of courts, and was mistress of the manners which are there acquired. Ch. xi. She became infatuated with the archer, Quentin Durward, and was overwhelmed with chagrin when she learned that his affections were centered on her niece. She afterward became the wife of the brutal De la Marck. Ch. xi, xii, xiv, xv, xvi, xviii, xx, xxiii, xxiv, xxvi, xxxvi. See ISABELLE DE CROYE; DE LA MARCK; QUENTIN DURw ARD. Croye, Isabelle de, Countess. A young and beautiful Bur- gundian heiress, whose hand the Duke desired to give to one of his unworthy favorites. Louis XI, from interested motives, offers the QUENTIN DURWARD. 233 Countess and her aunt a refuge in France; but finding their sojourn at his court was offensive to Burgundy, he resolves to make an ally of the infamous De la Marck, by bestowing her hand upon him. He sends the ladies upon a journey under the pretense of placing them under the protection of the Bishop of Liege, but with the private arrangement to betray Isabelle to the Wild Boar of Ar- dennes. Quentin Durward was the protector of Isabelle and her aunt, and prevented the meditated treachery, and won Isabelle's gratitude and love. She refused the hand of the Duke of Orleans, and the enraged Duke of Burgundy promised her hand to whoever would bring him the head of De la Marck. Isabelle gave Quentin the information that enabled him to win her hand. While in France she was disguised under the name of Jacqueline.

De la Marck, William. A debauched and brutal Baron, called the Wild Boar of Ardennes. The most motorious robber and murderer on all the frontiers — excommuni- cated by the Pope for a thousand crimes, . . . and under the ban of the Em- pire. Ch. xii. For purposes of plunder, and in hopes of making the wealthy Countess de Croye his bride, he joined in the revolt of the Liegeois. He caused the Bishop of Liege's murder, and assumed his title, but he was soon killed in a battle with the avenging Burgundian army. Over his shoulders hung a strong surcoat, made of the dressed skin of a huge wild boar, the hoofs being of solid silver, and the tusks of the same. The skim of the head was so arranged that, drawn over the casque when the Baron was armed, or over his bare head, in the fashion of a hood, . . . the effect was that of a grinning, ghastly monster. . . . De la Marck, while he assumed in other respects the appearance of the Wild Boar, and even seemed pleased with the name, yet endeavoured by the length and growth of his beard to conceal the cir- cumstance that had originally procured him that denomination. This was an unusual thickness and projection of the mouth and upper jaw, which, with the : huge projecting side teeth, gave that resemblance to the bestial creation which, joined to the delight that De la Marck had in hunting the forest so called, ori- ginally procured for him the name of the Boar of Ardennes. The beard, broad, grizzly and uncombed, neither concealed the natural horrors of the countenance nor dignified its brutal expression. Ch. xxii. 10% 234 THE WAW ERLEY DICTIONARY. Ch. xxii, xxxvi, xxxvii. See ISABELLE DE CROYE; LUDOVIC LESLY; LOUIs XI. Des Comines, Philip. An acute Burgundian politician and histo- rian, whom Louis afterward induced into the service of France. A lively-looking man, with an eye of great vivacity, which was corrected by an expression of reflection and gravity about the mouth and upper lip– the whole physiognomy marking a man who saw and judged rapidly, but was Sage . in forming resolutions or in expressing opinions. This was the famous Knight of Hainault, son of Collart, or Nicolas de l'Elite, known in history, and among historians, by the venerable name of Philip des Comines, at this time close to the person of Duke Charles the Bold, and one of his most trusted coun- sellors. Ch. xxY. Ch. xxv, xxvi, xxvii, XXX, XXxiii. Dunois, Count de. France's “best champion ”; the son of the Bastard of Orleans, who fought with Jeanne d'Arc against England. He was popular with the French nation, and esteemed by the King. Although accounted complete in all the exercises of chivalry, . . . the Count was far from being a model of romantic beauty. . . . His mien was bold and upright, his step free and manly, and the harshness of his countenance was dig- nified by a glance like an eagle, and a frown like a lion. Ch. viii. Ch. viii., ix, xi, xii, xiv, xv, xxvii, xxxii, XXXvii. - Durward, Quentin. An archer of the Scottish Guard. He leaves Scotland to seek his fortune in France, a feudal enemy having re- duced him to poverty. Unexpected circumstances recommend him to the King's favor, and he becomes a trusted archer in Louis’ body-guard. Quentin was intrusted with the protection of the ladies of Croye during a dangerous journey. With courage and presence of mind he extricated them from their perplexities and perils. The Countess Isabelle de Croye and Quentin soon became victims of a romantic passion. After suffering and difficulty, they were permitted to marry. Crèvecoeur says of Quentin Durward: “It is sense, firmness and gallantry which have put him in possession of Wealth, Rank and Beauty / " Ch. xxxvii.

Joan, Princess. King Louis' youngest and deformed daughter. She was betrothed to the Duke of Orleans, whom she loved, but who held her in abhorrence. She was pale, thin and sickly in her complexion, her shape visibly bent to one side, and her gait so unequal that she might be called lame. A fine set of teeth, and eyes which were expressive of melancholy, softness and resignation, with a quantity of light brown locks, were the only redeeming points which flattery it- self could have dared to number, to counteract the general homeliness of her face and figure. To complete the picture, it was easy to remark, from the Princess' negligence in dress, and the timidity of her manner, that she had an unusual and distressing consciousness of her own plainness of appearance, and did not dare to make any of those attempts to mend by manners or by art what nature had left amiss, or in any other way exert a power of pleasing.

The Duke of Burgundy's fine- looking jester, who rescued his master at the battle of Montlhery. Perhaps he was afraid of this being thought too serious a service for a person of his condition, and that it might excite him enemies among those knights and nobles who had left the care of their master's person to the court fool. At any rate, he chose rather to be laughed at than praised for his achievement, and Imade such gascomading boasts of his exploits in the battle, that most men thought that the rescue of Charles was as ideal as the rest of his tale; and it was upon this occasion he acquired the title of Le Glorieux (or the boastful). by which he was ever afterwards distinguished. Ch. xxvii. Ch. xxv, xxvi, xxvii, xxviii, xxix., xxxiii, xxxiv, xxxv, xxxvi. L'Hermite, Tristan. Provost-Marshal of the Royal Household. This taciturn and malignant hangman was a great favorite with King Louis. He was a Middle-sized man, . . . with a down-looking visage, and a very ominous smile. Ch. ii. The sullen eye of this official expressed a malevolence of purpose which made men shudder to meet his glance. Ch. viii. The Author has endeavoured to give to the odious Tristan L'Hermite a spe- cies of dogged and brutal fidelity to Louis similar to the attachment of a bull- dog to his master. With all the atrocity of his execrable character, he was cer- tainly a man of courage, and was, in his youth, made knight on the breach of Fronsac, with a great number of other young nobles, by the honour-giving hand of the elder Dunois, the celebrated hero of Charles the Fifth's reign. Note to Ch. xxviii. - Ch. ii, vi, viii, xiv, xv, xxvii, xxviii, xxix., xxxiii, xxxv. See PETIT ANDRE; TROIs EscHELLES. Lesly, Ludovic. An archer of the Scottish Guard, and uncle to Quentin Durward. He was called “Ludovic with the Scar, or Le Balafré,” on account of a hideous scar which disfigured his counte- Iſla, Il Cé. Without being wantonly cruel, Le Balafré was, from habit, indifferent to hu- man life and human suffering; he was profoundly ignorant, greedy of booty, unscrupulous how he acquired it, and profuse in expending it on the gratifica- tion of his passions. . . . Balafré was, in short, a keen soldier, hardened, self- ish and narrow-minded; active and bold in the discharge of his duties, but acknowledging few objects beyond it, except the formal observance of a care- less devotion, relieved by an occasional debauch with Brother Boniface, his comrade and confessor. Had his genius been of a more extended character, he would probably have been promoted to some important command, for the King, who knew every soldier of his body-guard personally, reposed much confidence in Balafré's courage and fidelity; and, besides, the Scot had either wisdom or cunning enough perfectly to understand, and ably to humour, the peculiarities of that sovereign. Still, however, his capacity was too much limited to admit of his rising to higher rank, and though smiled on and favoured by Louis on many occasions, Balafré continued a mere life-guardsman, or Scottish archer. Ch. vi. QUENTIN DURWARD. 237 He refused to be an assassin, and said to the King, who respected his “tenderness'': “I could not kill you a dog, unless it were in hot assault, or pursuit, or upon defiance given, or such like. . . . Your Majesty has your Provost, and two of his Marshal's men without, who are more fit for dealing with him than a Scottish gentleman of my family and standing in the service.” Ch. xxviii. Quentin Durward was interrupted in his combat with De la Marck by the cries of a distressed lady friend, whom he was compelled to rescue from the brutal soldiers. Ludovic finished what his nephew had begun and killed De la Marck—whose head was the price of the Countess Isabelle de Croye's hand. His captain, Lord Crawford, took him and his bloody trophy into the presence of Louis and the Duke of Burgundy, but the overwhelmed Ludovic could only repeat the name of a Scottish soothsayer, “Saunders Souplejaw.” “May it please your Majesty, and your Grace,” said Crawford, “I must speak for my countryman and old comrade. You shall understand that he has had it prophesied to him by a seer in his own land, that the fortune of his house is to be made by marriage; but as he is like myself, something the worse for wear.— loves the wine-house better than a lady’s summer-parlour, and, in short, having some barrack tastes and likings, which would make greatness in his own person rather an incumbrance to him, he hath acted by my advice and resigns the pre- tensions acquired by the fate of slaying William de la Marck, to him by whom the Wild Boar was actually brought to bay, who is his maternal mephew.” Ch. xxxvii.

Prince Louis of Bourbon was an elderly, luxuri- ous and generous ruler—greatly beloved by his brother-in-law, the Duke of Burgundy. The wealthy and discontented. Liegeois were induced to revolt by Louis XI, and, under the command of De la Marck, sacked the Bishop's castle and made him a prisoner. When the unhappy prelate was brought before the footstool of the savage leader, although in former life only remarkable for his easy and good-natured temper, he showed in this extremity a sense of his dignity and noble blood, well becoming the high race from which he was descended. His look was composed and undismayed; his gesture, when the rude hands which dragged him forward were unloosed, was noble and at the same time resigned, somewhat between the bearing of a feudal noble and of a Christian martyr. Ch. xxii. He was murdered “at the foot of his own Episcopal throne.” Ch. xviii, xxii. See DE LA MARCK; LOUIs XI. Lindesay. An Archer of the Scottish Guard. Ch. vi., vii. Louis XI. King of France; disguised, at one time, as Maitre Pierre. His strong features, sunk cheeks, and hollow eyes, had . . . an expression of shrewdness and humour. . . . But then, those same sunken eyes, from under 238. THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. the shroud of thick black eyebrows, had something in them that was at once commanding and sinister. Perhaps this effect was increased by the low fur cap, much depressed on the forehead, and adding to the shade from under which those eyes peered out. . . . His cap, . . . in which all men of any quality dis- played either a brooch of gold or of silver, was ornamented with a paltry image of the Virgin, in lead, such as the poorer sort of pilgrims bring from Loretto. Ch. ii. He was avaricious, cruel and sensual by mature, but never allowed his pride or passions to interfere with the success of his subtle schemes. He exalted favorites from the lowest ranks, and thus humiliated the mobility. He taxed the nobles to pay mercenary soldiers, and gradu- ally centralized the military power in the crown. Through his craft, he raised France to a position of influence and made himself the most powerful sovereign of his time. He dressed shabbily and had a taste for low companions. He had a profound knowledge of human mature, and was devotedly attached to life. In his conduct, he obeyed neither the dictates of humanity nor acknowledged any obligations of honor or morality. The remorse arising from his evil actions, Louis never endeavoured to appease by any relaxation in his Machiavelliam stratagems, but laboured in vain to soothe and silence that painful feeling by superstitious observances, severe penance, and profuse gifts to the ecclesiastics. Ch. i. Louis was under many obligations to the Duke of Burgundy, which he never meant to repay, and acted with duplicity toward his fiery and ambitious vassal. In order to deceive Charles with a pre- tense of trusting friendship, he came an “unbidden guest” to the Duke's camp at Peronne. During this visit, the Duke's brother-in- law, the Bishop of Liege, was murdered. The Duke, justly, accused the King of having instigated the revolt of the Liegeois, and said: “I have too long suffered to be stified by trivial considerations of circum- stance and place. Murderer of thy brother! rebel against thy parent | tyrant over thy subjects! treacherous ally perjured king ! dishonoured gentleman — thou art in my power, and I thank God for it.” Ch. xxvii. The guilty King was imprisoned, and his crown and life were endangered. His cool judgment made him the superior of the maddened Duke. He submitted to the Duke's humiliating ex- actions and regained his liberty. He dissimulatingly allayed, if he did not dispel, Charles' suspicions. Himself the most false and insincere of mankind, some of the greatest errors of his life arose from too rash a confidence in the honour and integrity of others. When these errors took place, they seem to have arisen from an over-refined sys- tem of policy, which induced Louis to assume an appearance of undoubting con- fidence in those whom it was his object to overreach.

She was a jolly, little, roundabout woman, who had been pretty in her time, but whose principal characteristics for several years had been a red and sharp mose, a shrill voice, and a determination that the Syndic, in consideration of the authority which he exercised when abroad, should remain under the rule of due discipline at home.

Galeotti Martivalle was a tall, bulky, yet stately man, considerably past his prime, and whose youthful habits of exercise, though still occasionally resumed, had not been able to contend with his natural tendency to corpulence, increased by sedentary study, and indulgence in the pleasures of the table. His features, though rather overgrown, were dignified and noble, and a Santon might have envied the dark and downward sweep of his long-descending beard. His dress was a chamber-robe of the richest Genoa velvet, with ample sleeves, clasped with frogs of gold, and lined with sables. It was fastened around his middle by a broad belt of virgin parchment, round which were represented, in crimson characters, the signs of the Zodiac. He rose and bowed to the King, yet with the air of one to whom such exalted society was familiar, and was not at all likely, even in the royal presence, to compromise the dignity them especially affected by the pursuers of science. Ch. xiii. He considered Douis XI a “miggardly slave,” and he read the stars, upon one occasion, to suit the liberal Cardinal Balue. Conse- quently the King undertook his visit to Duke Charles, and when in a Burgundian prison, Louis sent for the astrologer with the inten- tion of having him executed. The wily sage realized his danger and saved his life by telling the superstitious King that it was decreed that his death should precede Louis' by only twenty-four hours.

He carried a silver basin in his hand, and a napkin flung over his arm indicated his menial capacity. His visage was penetrating and quick, although he endeavoured to banish such expression from his features, by keep- ing his eyes fixed on the ground, while, with the stealthy and quiet pace of a cat, he seemed modestly rather to glide than to walk through the apartment. But though modesty may easily obscure worth, it cannot hide court favour; and all attempts to steal umperceived through the presence-chamber were vain, on the part of one known to have such possession of the King's ear as had been ob. tained by the celebrated barber and groom of the chamber, Oliver le Dain, called sometimes Oliver le Mauvais, and sometimes Oliver le Diable, epithets derived from the unscrupulous cunning with which he assisted in the execution of the schemes of his master's tortuous policy.

The jealously-watched object of Louis’ suspicions . . . was not suffered to absent himself from Court, and while residing there was alike denied employ- ment and countenance. The dejection which his degraded and almost captive state naturally impressed on the deportment of this unfortunate Prince, was at this moment greatly increased by his consciousness that the King meditated, with respect to him, one of the most cruel and unjust actions which a tyrant could commit, by compelling him to give his hand to the Princess Joan of France, the younger daughter of Louis, to whom he had been contracted in in- fancy, but whose deformed person rendered the insisting upon such an agree- ment an act of abominable rigour. The exterior of this unhappy prince was in no respect distinguished by personal advantages; and in mind he was of a gentle, mild and beneficent disposition. Ch. viii. The Duke is represented as being infatuated with Isabelle de Croye, and attempted to prevent her leaving France. In this ad- venture, the disguised Duke is unhorsed by Quentin Durward. The King was angry with Orleans on this account, and temporarily im- prisoned him and his accomplice, Dunois. QUENTIN DURWARD. 241 Ch viii., ix, xi, xii, xiv, xv, xxvii, XXXii, xxxv.

ST, RONAN's WELL A ROMANCE, “A merry place, ’tis said, in days of yore; But something ails it now — the place is cursed.” WORDSWORTH, A R G U M E N T. THE novel which follows is upon a plan different from any other e the author has ever written. . . . It is intended, in a word, celebrare domes- tica facta. . . . The scene chosen for the author's little drama of modern life was a mineral spring . . . St. Ronan's Well. Int. (1832). John Mowbray and Lady Penelope Penfeather headed two factions at the Well. The rank and fortune of the lady, her pretensions to beauty as well as talent (though the former was something faded), and the consequence which she arro- gated to herself as a woman of fashion, drew around her painters, and poets, and philosophers, and men of Science, and lecturers, and foreign adventurers, et hoc genus omne. . . . The Squire's influence, as a man of family and property, who actually kept greyhounds and pointers, and at least talked of hunters and races, ascertained him the support of a whole class of bucks, half and whole bred, from the three next counties; and if more inducements were wanting, he could grant his favourites the privilege of shooting over his moors, which is enough to turn the head of a young Scottishman at any time. Ch. iii. Administration at the well was intrusted to a managing committee, consisting of Dr. Quackleben (Man of Medicine), Mr. Winterblossom (Man of Taste), Mr. Meiklewham (Man of Law), Captain MacTurk (Man of Peace), Rev. Simon Chatterly (Man of Religion), Michael Meredith (Man of Mirth). Anderson, Eppie. Servant at Meg Dod's inn. Ch. ii., xxviii. Anthony. Servant at Meg Dod's inn. Ch. xiv. Beenie.

A coarse sportsman; betting, gambling and drinking; with the slang and manners of the prize-ring. Sluggish in intellect and heavy in purse, he was the jest and victim of sharper men. His dogged sullenness and habitual ill-humor found vent in a series of inarticulate growls. Not naturally courageous, when stimulated by liquor and thoroughly enraged, his resentment was lingering, malicious and pugnacious. The heavy loutish shuffle of the bulky Baronet had, by dint of practice, very nearly attained that most enviable of all carriages, the gait of a shambling Yorkshire Ostler. Ch. xiii. Ch. iii, iv, v, vi, viii, xii, xiii, xviii, xxi, xxxi. See LADY BINKS. Binks, Lady. Wife of Sir Bingo Binks. The sultana-like beauty of the haughty dame promised to an admirer all the vicissitudes that can be expressed by a countenance lovely in every change, and changing as often as an ardent and impetuous disposition, unused to restraint and despising admonition, should please to dictate. Ch. XX. Etherington wrote of her: “A lovely woman, . . . rather plump, and above the middle size . . . a Juno in beauty, looking with such scorn on her husband, whom she despises and hates, and seeming as if she could look so differently on any one she might like better, that on my faith "twere a sin not to give her the occasion.” Ch. xix. Lady Binks had played the hoyden to entrap the wealthy Sir Bingo Binks. Through the instrumentality of the Caledonian Hymen and a martial brother, their private marriage was at length acknowledged, but Sir Bingo's family refused to receive his wife. Lady Binks was wretched, and tyrannized over her low husband. She was sullen and sarcastic, and dressed with great magnificence. It galled her to be indebted to Lady Penelope's favor for her suffer- ance in the society at St. Roman's Well. Lady Binks was flattered by the Earl of Etherington's attentions, and was in “savage glee" over the torment her flirtation gave to Sir Bingo. The Earl's pur- suit of Clara Mowbray aroused Lady Bink's jealous malignancy against her rival. Ch. vi., vii, viii, xiii, xviii, xix., xx, xxii, xxxiv. See SIR BINGO BINKs; ETHERINGTON; Mowbray (CLARA and JoHN); LADY PENELOPE PENFEATHER. Blower, Mrs. A rich widow, fair, fat and forty, with a “broad, good-natured countenance.” She was plain, illiterate and honest, and regarded the fashionable society at St. Roman's Well with admiring wonder. Dr. Quackleben sympathized with her lonely condition, and impressed upon her the necessity of medical attend- ance in health as well as sickness. So she bound him to herself with the knot matrimonial. Ch. vi, vii, viii, xiii, xx, xxii, xxxiv, xxxix. See DR. QUACKLEBEN. 246 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. Bulmer, Valentine. See ETHERINGTON. Cargill, Josiah, Rev. An absent-minded clergyman, who married Clara Mowbray to Etherington, and recollected it at a disastrous moment for the parties concerned.

Owing to an unfor- tunate love experience, he never married, and devoted himself mostly to erudite researches. Ch. xvi, xvii, xx, xxi, xxxviii. See ETHERINGTON; CLARA Mowbray. Chatterly, Simon, Rev.

During all the week-days . . . this rev- erend gentleman was the partner at the whist-table, or in the ball-room, to what maid or matron Soever lacked a partner at either; and on Sundays he read prayers in the public room to all who chose to attend. He also was a deviser of charades, and an unriddler of riddles; he played a little on the flute, and was Mr. Winterblossom's principal assistant in contriving those ingenious and romantic paths, by which, as by zig-zags which connect military parallels, you were able to ascend to the top of the hill behind the hotel, which commands so beautiful a prospect, at exactly that precise angle of ascent which entitles a gentleman to offer his arm, and a lady to accept it, with perfect propriety.

Desiring no master, Meg refused to share her small fortune with any of the numerous aspirants for her hand. She exerted arbitrary sway over her servants and guests. Queen Elizabeth, in Dame Quickley's piqued hat and green apron. Ch, i. She had hair of the brindled colour, betwixt black and gray, which was apt to escape in elf-locks from under her mutch, when she was thrown into violent agitation; long skinny hands, terminated by stout talons. gray eyes, thin lips, a robust person, a broad though flat chest, capital mind, and a voice that could match a choir of fish-women. . . . These notable gifts, however, had no charms for the travellers of these light and giddy-paced times, and Meg's Inn becamic less and less frequented. . . . We have only further to notice Meg's mode of conducting herself towards chance travellers, who . . . stumbled upon her house. Her reception of these was as precarious as the hospitality of a savage nation to sailors shipwrecked on their coast. . . . Hence arose the different ST. RONAN’s WELL. 247 reports concerning the little inn of St. Roman’s, which some . . . praised as thc Incatest and most comfortable old-fashioned house in Scotland, where you had good attendance and good cheer at-moderate rates, while others less fortunate could only talk of the darkness of the rooms, homeliness of the old, furniture, and the detestable bad humour of Meg Dods, the landlady. Ch. i. Ch. i, ii, iii, ix. xii, xiv, xv, xvi, xvii, XX, xxviii, xxxviii, XXXix, Etherington, Earl of. Valentine Bulmer. The handsome and courtly lion of the hour at St. Roman's Well. But chiefly Lady Penelope threw out the captivations of her wit and litera- ture; while Lady Binks, trusting to her natural charms, endeavoured equally to attract his notice. The other nymphs of the Spa held a little back upon thc principle of that politeness which, at continental hunting parties, affords the first shot at a finc piece of game to the person of highest rank present; but the thought throbbed in many a fair bosom, that their ladyships might miss their aim, in spite of the advantages allowed them, and there might then be room for less exalted, but perhaps not less skilful, markswomen. Ch. xviii. He was a traitor to his supposed bastard brother, Francis Tyrrel, and a gambler, libertine and duelist. In hopes of bringing his father's wrath upon Francis, he assisted his clandestine love affair with Clara Mowbray, but learning that such a marriage would result in fortune and his father's favor, he substituted himself, at the altar, for his brother, unconsciously to Clara. Francis spared his life on conditions that he should renounce all claims to Clara. Financially ruined, he again sought Clara and in vain persecuted her to accept him as her husband, and he found, too late, that she was dear to him. At St. Roman's, he was Lady Binks' acknowl- edged gallant. The Earl learned that papers substantiating his brother's claims to the earldom were expected by mail, and he illegally obtained them, only to find that they were copies of orig- inals that would draw the bar sinistre across his own name. His accomplices betrayed him, and dark clouds of perplexity and fear lowered around him, and his life of crime and intrigue was ended in a duel with Clara's brother, John Mowbray.

The Man of Peace. A Highland Lieutenant on half pay, and that of ancient standing; one who preferred toddy of the strongest to wine, and in that fashion and cold drams finished about a bottle of whiskey per diem, whenever he could come by it. He was called the Man of Peace, on the same principle which assigns to constables, Bow-street runners, and such like, who carry bludgeons to break folks' heads, and are perpetually and officially employed in scenes of riot, the title of peace officers—that is because by his valour he compelled others to act with discretion. The Captain was the general referee in all those abortive quarrels, which, at a place of this kind, are so apt to occur at night, and to be quietly settled in the morning; and occasionally adopted a quarrel himself, by way of taking down any guest who was unusually pugnacious. This occupation procured Captain MacTurk a good deal of respect at the Well; for he was precisely that sort of person who is ready to fight with any one — whom no one can find an apology for declining to fight with, in fighting with whom considerable danger was incurred, for he was ever and anon showing that he could snuff a candle with a pistol ball.— and lastly, through fighting with whom no (clat or credit could redound to the antagonist. He always wore a blue coat and red collar, had a Supercilious taciturnity of manner, ate sliced leeks with his cheese, and resem- bled in complexion a Dutch red herring. Ch. iii.

His nose projected from the front of his broad vulgar face, like the style of an old sun-dial, twisted all of one side. He was as great a bully in his profession as if it had been military instead of civil; . . . and was ST, RON AN’S WELL. 249 on excellent terms with lyr.

The Jack Pudding to the company, whose business it was to crack the best joke and sing the best song he could. Unluckily, however, this functionary was for the present obliged to absent himself from St. Roman's; for not recollecting that he did not actually wear the privileged motley of his profession, he had passed some jest on Captain MacTurk which cut so much to the quick, that Mr. Meredith was fain to go to goat-whey quarters, at some miles' distance, and remain there in a sort of concealment, until the affair should be made up through the mediation of his brethren of the Committee. Ch. iii. Ch. iii. See MACTURK. Mowbray, Clara. John Mowbray's sister. She was graceful in carriage and exquisite in form, with an intellectual beauty of counte- nance and expression. Her hair and eyes were black, and her com- plexion was of marble whiteness, and she was always seen in her riding dress. When very young, she had secretly loved Francis Tyrrel; by criminal deceit, a marriage ceremony was performed between her and his brother, the Earl of Etherington. The horror and pain of that hour left blighting effects. She was henceforth impatient of society, and vigilantly guarded the secret of her tragic TOIT1a.]]C62. - Though the beauty remained, the bloom was fled forever. . . . Her mind was clouded, more or less slightly, with a shade of insanity, which deranged, though it had not destroyed, her powers of judgment. Ch. ix. & Sorrow had laid his hand upon her — the purple light of youth was quenched — the glance of innocent gayety was exchanged for looks now moody with ill- concealed care, now animated by a spirit of reckless and satirical observation. Ch. xxix. From interested motives, Etherington sought Clara and urged her to acknowledge him as her husband. She treated him with scorn, and thus expressed her repugnance: “Never . . . while water can drown, while cords can strangle, stcel pierce — while there is a precipice on the hill, a pool in the river — never — never!” Ch. ix. At length vague rumors were afloat of some mystery connected with Clara Mowbray. Ignorant of the circumstances, her brother understood them to be suspicions of her fair fame. He upbraided her with inconsiderate brutality, and insisted upon her immediate marriage with Etherington. º Grief, shame, confusion, and terror, had contributed to overwhelm the unfor- tunate Clara Mowbray. . . . For years, her life, her whole tenor of thought, had been haunted by the terrible apprehension of a discovery. . . . The extreme violence of her brother, which went so far as to menace her personal safety, 250 THE WAV ERLEY DICTION ARY. had united with the previous conflict of passions to produce a rapture of fear. Ch. xxxviii. Clara wandered from home a stormy night and listened to the dying confession of Etherington's accomplice. Her intellect com- pletely lost its poise, and she sought the inn where Tyrrel was stay- ing, and died there in a few hours.

He was proud, vindictive and scheming, and, being a sportsman and gambler, had so dissipated his small inheritance as to be at the mercy of his agent, Meiklewham. He was an admirer of Lady Binks, and wasted his time among the fashionables of the Well. Heavy losses at cards made him favor Etherington's proposal for his sister's hand. He listened to some malicious gossip concerning his sister, and, mad- dened by his desperate fortunes and heated with wine, he used a fatal violence of language and conduct toward Clara. After her death, he killed Etherington in a duel, and entered the army, where he won honor and reformed his character. He became a favorite with his relative, Touchwood, and demolished the hotel at the Well, which had been the scene of his former errors and crimes.

A guest at St. Roman's. Ch. vi. Patrick. John Mowbray's servant. Ch. xxxv, xxxvi. Penfeather, Lady Penelope. Patroness of St. Roman's Well. Though suave and courteous, she was jealous of the prestige she de- manded, and venomous of her resentment of any disrespect or indif- ference. She was curious and indiscreet in respect to gossip, and very romantic and stilted in her language. She was the daughter of an earl, possessed a showy person and features which might have been called handsomc in youth, though now rather too much pro- nouncés to render the term propor. The nose had become sharper, the cheeks had lost the roundness of youth, and as, during fifteen years that she had reigned a beauty and a ruling toast, the right man had not spoken, or, at least, had not spoken at the right time, her Ladyship, now rendered sufficiently independent by the inheritance of an old relation, spoke in praise of friendship, began to dislike the town in summer, and to babble of green fields. About the time Lady Penel- ope thus changed the tenor of her life she was fortunate cnough, with Dr. Quack- leben's assistance, to find out the virtues of St. Ronan's spring, and, having contributed her share to establish the urbs in 7'ure which had arisen around it, She sat herself down as leader of fashions in the little province which she had in ST. RON AN’s WELL. 251 a great measure both discovered and colonized. She was, therefore, justly de- sirous to compel homage and tribute from all who approached the territory. In other respects Lady Penelope pretty much resembled the numerous class she belonged to. She was at bottom a well principled woman, but too thoughtless to let her principles control her humour, therefore not scrupulously nice in her society. She was good-natured, but capricious and whimsical, and willing enough to be kind or generous if it neither thwarted her humour or cost her too much trouble; would have chaperoned a young friend anywhere, and moved the world for subscription tickets, but nover troubled herself how much her giddy charge flirted, or with whom, so that, with a numerous class of young misses, her Ladyship was the most delightful creature in the world. Then Lady Penel- ope had lived so much in society, knew so cxactly when to speak, and how to escape from an embarrassing discussion by professing ignorance, while she looked intelligence, that she was not generally discovered to be a fool, unless when she set up for being remarkably clever. This happened more frequently of late, when, perhaps, as she could not but observe that the repairs of the toilet became more necessary, she might suppose that new lights, according to thc poet, were streaming on her mind through the chinks that time was making. Many of her friends, however, thought that Lady Penelope would have better consulted her genius by remaining in mediocrity, as a fashionable and well-bred woman, than by parading her new-found pretensions to taste and patronage; but such was not her own opinion, and, doubtless, her Ladyship was the best judge.

The acknowl- edgment of the Doctor's merit, as having becn first to proclaim and vindicate the merits of these healing fountains, had occasioned his being universally installed First Physician and Man of Science, which last qualification he could apply to all purposes, from boiling of an egg to giving a lecture. He was, indeed, qualified, like many of his profession, to spread both bane and antidote before a dyspeptic patient, being as knowing a gastronome as . . . any . . . worthy physician who has written for the benefit of the cuisine. . . . But pluralities are . . . invidious always, and, therefore, the Doctor prudently relinquished the office of caterer and head carver to the Man of Taste, . . . reserving to himself the occasional privilege of criticising, and principal share in consuming, the good things which the common entertainment afforded. . . . He was a tall, lean, beetle-browed man, with an ill-made black scratch wig, that stared out either side from his Yantern jaws. He resided nine months out of the twelve at St. Ronan's, and was supposed to make an indifferent good thing out of it, especially as he played whist to admiration.

Tyrrel, Francis. Half-brother to Etherington. He loved Clara Mowbray, and had been betrayed in heart and fortune by his brother. After years of weary wandering he returned to St. Ro- man's, and was admired for his amateur sketches. He courteously refused to be lionized by the ladies, and was dignified and spirited with his own sex. His youth had been shadowed by alleged ille- gitimacy, but he now had the proofs that he was the rightful Earl of Etherington. Private wrongs, his mother's honor and a father's dying command, all urged him to assert his claims, but Tyrrel agreed to leave his brother undisturbed in his possession if Ether- ington would cease from further persecution of Clara Mowbray. Before his generous self-sacrifice could be effected Clara died, and Etherington fell in a duel. In despair, Tyrrel again left England. Nor has he since been heard of, although the title and cstates of Etherington lic vacant for his acceptance. It is the opinion of many that he has cntered the Moravian mission, for the use of which he had previously drawn considerable sums. Ch. xxxix. He was a well-made man, rather above than under the middle size, and appar- ently betwixt five-and-twenty and thirty years of age; . . . he bore, in his as- ST.

A civil sort of person, who was nicely precise in his address, wore his hair queued and dressed with powder. had knee-buckles set with Bristol stones, and a seal ring as large as Sir John Falstaff’s. In his heyday he had a small estate, which he had spent like a gentleman, by mixing with the gay world. He was, in short, one of those respectable links that connect the coxcomb of the present day with those of the last age, and could compare, in his own experience, the follies of both. In latter days he had sense enough to extricate himself from his course of dissipation, though with impaired health and impoverished for- tune. Mr. Winterblossom now lived upon a moderate annuity, and had discov- ered a way of reconciling his economy with much company and made dishes, by acting as perpetual president of the table d'hôte at the Well. Here he used to amuse the society by telling stories about Garrick. Foote, Bonnel Thornton and Lord Kelly, and delivering his opinions in matters of taste and vertu. An ex- cellent carver, he knows how to help each guest to what was precisely his due ; and never failed to preserve a proper slice as a reward for his own labours. To conclude, he was possessed of some taste in the fine arts, at least in painting and music, although it was rathcr of a technical kind than that which warms the heart and elevates the feelings. . . . He was shrewd, selfish and sensual; the least two of which qualities he screened from observation under a specious varnish of exterior complaisance. Therefore, in his professed and apparent anxiety to do the honours of the table to the most punctilious point of good breeding, he never permitted the attendants upon the public taste to supply the wants of others until all his own private comforts had been fully arranged and provided for. Mr. Winterblossom was also distinguished for possessing a few curious engravings, and other specimens of art, with the exhibition of which he occasionally beguiled a wet morning at the public room.

A TALE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. “Master, go on, and I will follow thee, To the last gasp, with truth and loyalty.” As You Like It. A. R. G. U M E N T. THE Jacobite enthusiasm of the eighteenth century . . . afforded a theme, perhaps the finest that could be selected, for fictitious composition, founded upon real or probable incident. . . . But in proportion as the political: enthusiasm died gradually away among men of ordinary temperament, it influenced those of warm imaginations and weak understandings, and hence wild schemes were formed, as desperate as they were adventurous. . . . It was while reflecting on these things that the novel of “Redgauntlet “ was undertaken. But various cir- cumstances in the composition induced the author . . . to carry the action to that point of time when the Chevalier Charles Edward, though fallen into the sere and yellow leaf, was yet meditating a second attempt, which could scarcely have been more hopeless than his first; although one to which . . . the unfortunate Prince, at least as late as seventeen hundred and fifty-three, still looked with hope and ex- pectation.

Mrs. Crosbie, in all external points, seemed to acknowledge “ the lawful sway and right supremacy " of the head of the house, and if in truth she did not reverence her husband, she at least seemed to do so.

Captain of the smuggling brig Jumping Jenny, and a slave to brandy. His dress was what is emphatically termed the shabby-genteel — a frock with tarnished lace — a small cocked hat, ornamented in a similar way — a scarlet waistcoat, with faded embroidery, breeches of the same, with silver knee-bands; and he wore a smart hanger and a pair of pistols in a sullied sword-belt. . . . Nanty was one of those topers who, becoming early what bon vivants term flus- tered, remain whole nights and days at the same point of intoxication; and, in fact, as they are seldom entirely sober, can be as rarely seen absolutely drunk. . . . The very touch of the helm seemed to dispel the remaining influence of the liquor which he had drunk, since, through a troublesome and intricate channel, he was able to direct the course of his little vessel with the most perfect accu- racy and safety. Ch. xiii. It was plain, Ewart, though a good seaman, had not been bred upon that ele- ment. He was a reasonably good scholar, and seemed fond of showing it by recurring to the subject of Sallust and Juvenal; while, on the other hand, sea phrases seldom chequered his conversation. He had been in person what is called a smart little man; but the tropical sun had burned his originally fair complexion to a dusty red, and the bile that was diffused through his system had stained it with a yellowish black; what ought to have been the white part of his eyes, in particular, had a hue as deep as the topaz. He was very thin, or rather emaciated, and his countenance, though still indicating alertness and activity, showed a constitution exhausted with cxcessive use of his favourite stimulus. Ch. xiv. A youthful folly had carried wide-spread desolation with it, and had driven Ewart into exile and desperation. He deplored his out- lawed condition, and realizing that brandy was killing him, he considered it his best friend. There was Something in him that but for early error and subsequent profligacy might have been excellent and noble. Ch. xiv. Cristal Nixon knew that Ewart had quareled with Redgauntlet and disliked Jacobites and Catholics. He, therefore, tried to bribe him into betraying Charles Edward and his adherents. Nanty, who had keenly suffered himself from treachery, refused to act so villainous a part, and to save himself from exposure Nixon shot him. Ewart summoned his dying strength, and cleft his murderer's skull, saying: 11 * 258 THE WAV ERLEY DICTION ARY. “You have done me the last good office, and I will not die ungrateful.” Ch. xxiii.

Alexander Fairford's son; a promising young law student, devotedly attached to an absent friend, Darsie Latimer. A charming lady in a green mantle informed him that Darsie was in danger. Troubled about his friend, and with visions of the green mantle, he prepares to make his first appearance in the court-room, as attorney for Peebles in the case of Peebles against Plainstames. He argued the case with clearness and address, and was listened to with flattering attention. By accident, a letter, stating that Darsie was missing, was placed in Alan's hands in the midst of the trial. Unmindful of Peebles against Plainstanes and his legal future, he abruptly left the court without a word of explanation, and com- menced a search for his friend. Alan Fairford . . . had a warmth of heart which the study of law and the world could not chill, and talents which they had rendered unusually acute. Deprived of the personal patronage enjoyed by the most of his contemporaries, who assumed the gown under the protection of their aristocratic alliances and descents, he only saw that he should have that to achieve for himself that fell to them as a right of birth. He laboured hard in silence and solitude, and his labours were crowned with success. But Alan doted on his friend Darsie, even more than he loved his profession, and . . . threw everything aside when he thought Latimer in danger, forgetting fame and fortune, and hazarding even the serious displeasure of his father, to rescue him whom he loved with an elder brother's affection. Darsie, though his parts were more quick and brilliant than those of his friend, seemed always to the latter a being under his peculiar charge, whom he was called upon to cherish and protect in cases where the youth's own experience was unequal to the exigency; and now, when the fate of Latimer seemed worse than doubtful, Alan's whole prudence and energy were to be exerted in his behalf, an adventure which might have seemed peril- ous to most youths of his age had no terrors for him. He was well acquainted with the laws of his country, and knew how to appeal to them; and besides his professional confidence, his natural disposition was steady, sedate, persevering, and undaunted. With these requisites he undertook a quest which, at that time, was not unattended with actual danger, and had much in it to appal a more timid disposition. Ch. x. Alan was thrown among smugglers and Jacobite conspirators, even meeting Charles Edward himself. His solicitous affection for Darsie sustained him through peril, treachery and sickness. The friends were at length restored to each other. The “green mantle '' 6% "J.GITALNſ) Wł)OIGI? I o:3uu.us tº unſ.

Her appearance is remarkably pleasing; although her age is certainly thirty. at least, she still retains the shape and motion of an earlier period. The absence of everything like fashion or ornament was, as usual, atoned for by the neatness and cleanliness of her dress; and her simple close cap was particularly suited to eyes which had the softness and simplicity of the dove's. Her features were also extremely agreeable, but had suffered a little through the ravages of that pro- fessed enemy to beauty, the small-pox, a disadvantage which was in part coun- terbalanced by a well-formed mouth, teeth like pearls, and a pleasing sobriety of smile that seemed to wish good here and hereafter to every one she spoke to.

Alan Fairford's friend and correspondent. He was an orphan, and resided in Alexander Fairford's household. He had an ample income, and, at the age of twenty-five, a large fortune would be placed at his disposal. He was warned not to venture into England during his minority. His parentage and the reasons for this precaution were both mysteries to the young man. He relin- quished legal studies, as they were not agreeable to his romantic tastes, and engaged in a journey of adventure. He writes to Alan brilliant descriptions of his travels and experiences. Alexander Fair- ford was in the habit of saying to his son: “Darsie was a pleasant companion.— but over-waggish, Alan, and somewhat scatter-brained.'" Let. ii. Darsie becomes infatuated with an unknown enchantress in a green mantle, who interests herself in his welfare and urges him to shun England. With reckless curiosity he draws nearer and nearer to England. He was made a prisoner by Redgauntlet and vigilantly guarded. Darsie occasionally caught a glimpse of the Greenmantle maiden, whom he believed to be in silent sympathy with him. T)ur- ing a journey, which he was compelled to take in female attire, his companion de voyage was the lady of his dreams. To his astonish- ment he learns that she is his sister and that he is Sir Arthur Darsie Redgauntlet. Their mother had taken every precaution to keep him ignorant of his inheritance and away from the influence of his Jacobite uncle. Their father had been executed for treason. Red- gauntlet had imprisoned him in order to act as his guardian, and to force or persuade Darsie into the proposed Jacobite insurrection of 1753. His fever-fit of love had departed like a morning's dream, and left nothing be- hind but a painful sense of shame, and a resolution to be more cautious before he again indulged in such romantic visions. His station in society was changed 262 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. from that of a wandering, unowned youth, in whom none appeared to take an interest, excepting the strangers by whom he had been educated, to the heir of a noble house, possessed of such influence and such property, that it seemed as if the progress or arrest of important political events were likely to depend on his resolution. Even this sudden elevation, the more than fulfilment of those wishes that had haunted him ever since he was able to form a wish on the subject, was contemplated by Darsie, volatile as his disposition was, without more than a few thrills of gratified vanity. Ch. xix. The government discovered the Jacobite conspiracy, and Darsie was restored to freedom before he was treasonably complicated.

His wit, or rather humour, bordered on the sarcastic, and intimated a discontented man. Cli. xi.

I doubt if he dare quarrel with him. And yet I know that of Cristal, which would move my uncle to pass his sword through his body. . . . The old brutal desperado, whose face and mind are a libel upon human nature, has had the insolence to speak.to his master's niece as one he was at liberty to admire; and when I turned on him with the anger and con- tempt he merited, the wretch grumbled out something, as if he held the destiny of our family in his hands.” Ch. xviii. He betrayed Redgauntlet and the Jacobites, and before he could reap the reward of his treachery he was killed by Nanty Ewart. Let. iv, vi; ch. iv, vii, ix, xvii, xviii, xix., xxi, xxiii. See NANTY EWART; REDGAUNTLET (EDwARD HUGH and LILIAS). Owen, Samuel. Darsie Latimer's servant. Let. i., iii; ch. iii. Peebles, Peter. A drunken and insane pauper, who had been at law for fifteen years. In prosperity, he had enforced the full rigor of that law to which he had fallen a victim. Alam Fairford plead in behalf of Peebles in the suit of Peebles against Plainstanes. At the moment when success seemed certain, Alan was compelled to desert the cause to obey the call of friendship. Although the haze which surrounded the cause or causes of that unfortunate litigant had been for a time dispelled by Alan's eloquence, like a fog by the thunder of artillery, yet it seemed once more to settle down upon the mass of litigation, thick as the palpable darkness of Egypt. Ch. ii. Such ruined clients are like scarecrows and potato-bogles, distributed through the courts to scare away fools from the scene of litigation. . . . Peter wears a huge great-coat, threadbare and patched itself, yet so carefully dis- posed and secured by what buttons remain, and supplementary pins, as to con- ceal the still more infirm condition of his under-garments. The shoes and stockings of a ploughman were, however, seen to meet at his knees with a pair of brownish blackish breeches; a rusty-coloured handkerchief . . . surrounded his throat, and was an apology for linen. His hair, half grey, half black, escaped in elf-locks around a huge wig, made of tow, . . . and so much shrunk that it stood upon the very top of his head; above which he plants, when covered, an immense cocked hat, which, like the chieftain's banner in an ancient battle, may be seen any sederunt day betwixt nine and ten towering above all the fluc- tuating and changeful scenes in the Outer-House, where his eccentricities often make him the centre of a group of petulant and teasing boys, who exercise on him every art of ingenious torture. His countenance, originally that of a portly, comely burgess, is now emaciated with poverty and anxiety, and rendered wild by an insane lightness about the eyes; a withcred and blighted skin and com- plexion; features begrimed with snuff, charged with the self-importance pe- culiar to insanity, and a habit of perpetually speaking to himself. Let. xiii. 264 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. To cheat Peter out of a charity gift, he was furnished with a war- rant for the arrest of his truant attorney, which he tried to enforce. Peebles said: - “If I am laird of naething else, I am aye a dominus litus.” Ch. xx. He lived ten years after King George's accession, in momentary expectation of winning his cause, . . . and at last fell down dead, in what my informant called a “Perplexity-fit,” upon a proposal for composition being made to him in the Outer-House.

Redgauntlet, Edward Hugh. A fanatical Jacobite. His devo- tion to the Stuart family was mingled with hatred of the govern- ment, which had executed his elder brother for treason. Since the rebellion of 1745 he had lived in retirement, and engaged in secret plots. He was spoken of among his friends as Ingoldsby or Her- ries. His nature was intense, and he was remarkable for a terrible, hereditary contortion of the brow when angry, resembling a horse- shoe. - - No one who has witnessed the look can forget it during the whole of his life. The furrows above his eyes became livid and almost black, and were bent into a semicircular, or rather elliptical form, above the junction of the eyebrows. Ch. vi. In 1753, he thought the long expected hour had come. He made his nephew a prisoner, and threatened his life if he refused to take part in the proposed insurrection, to the accomplishment of which Redgauntlet had devoted his life in vain. Darsie Latimer thus describes him: “He was a tall man . . . his gestures were striking, and his voice uncom- monly somorous and commanding. He . . . stood before me in a jerkin trimmed with black, which sat close to, and set off, his large and sinewy frame, and a pair of trowsers of a lighter colour, cut as close to his body as they are used by High- landmen. . . . His shirt was without ruffles, and tied at the collar with a black riband, which showed his strong and muscular neck rising from it like that of an ancient Hercules. His head was small, with a large forehead and well-formed cars. He wore neither peruke nor hair powder; and his chestnut locks, curling close to his head, like those of an antique statue, showed not the least touch of time, though the owner must have been at least fifty. His features were high and prominent in such a degree that one knew not whether to term them harsh or handsome. In either case, the Sparkling grey eye, aquiline nose, and well- formed mouth, combined to render his physiognomy noble and expressive. An the same time, a haughty temper. I could not help running mentally over the ancient heroes, to whom I might assimilate the noble form and countenance before me. He was too young, and evinced too little resignation to his fate, to REDGAUNTILET. 265 resemble Belisarius. Coriolanus, standing by the hearth of Tullus Anfidius, came nearer the mark; yet the gloomy and haughty look of the stranger had, perhaps, still more of Marius seated among the ruins of Carthage.” Let. iv. He refused a pardon, and threw his sword into the sea, and ac- companied Charles Edward to the continent. He afterward entered the cloister, and died a prior. Let. iv, v, vi; ch. iv, vi, vii, viii, xvii, xix., xxi, xxii. xxiii, con. See DARSIE LATIMER; CHARLES EDwARD STUART. Redgauntlet, Lilias. Redgauntlet's niece, and sister to Darsie Latimer. From earliest childhood she had been the inmate of Red- gauntlet's household, and had shared his dangers and difficulties, and offered to be his companion in exile. Being neither a Catholic or a Jacobite, she feared Redgauntlet might lead her brother into fatal intrigues. Disguised in a green mantle, she calls on Alan Fairford in Darsie's behalf, and she also warns Darsie himself not to approach England. Darsie, unconscious of their relationship, becomes infatuated with the beautiful and spirited Lilias. She is the fascinating theme of correspondence between the two young men. Lilias surprised Alam with the ammouncement that she was Darsie's sister. Fairford’s first thought was on the violent passion which Darsie had expressed towards the fair unknown. “ Good God!” he exclaimed, “how did he bear the discovery?” “With resignation, I hope,” said Lilias. “A more accomplished sister he might casily have come by, but scarcely could have found one who could love him more than I do.” Ch. xxiii. About eighteen months afterward she was married to Alan Fair- ford. Let. iv, viii, xii; ch. ix, xvii, xviii, xix., xxi, xxii, xxiii, con. See ALAN FAIRFORD; DARSIE TATIMER; REDGAUNTLET.

He found their forces inadequate, and the attempt to place him on the throne totally impracticable. His hereditary obstimacy alienated many warm friends. He called himself the Wanderer. Family discord came to add its sting to those of disappointed ambition. . . . Charles Edward, the adventurous, the gallant and the handsome, the leader of a race of pristine valour, whose romantic qualities may be said to have died along with him, had, in his later days, yielded to . . . humiliating habits of intoxica- tion. . . . Under such circumstances, the unhappy Prince lost the friendship even of those . . . who had most devoted themselves to his misfortunes. . . . Amid these clouds was at length extinguished the torch which once shook itself over Britain with such terrific glare, and at last sunk into its own ashes, scarce remembered and scarce noted. Meanwhile, while the life of Charles Edward was gradually wasting in disappointed solitude, the number of those who had shared his misfortunes and dangers had shrunk into a small handful of veterans, the heroes of a tale that had been told. Int. (1832). His personal appearance in 1753, while incognito as Father Buona- venture, is thus described: A noble countenance . . . still remained, and, though his complexion was altered and wrinkles stamped on his brow in many a melancholy fold, still the lofty forehead, the full and well-opened eye and well-formed nose showed how handsome in better days he must have been. He was tall, but lost the advantage of his height by stooping; and the came which he wore always in his hand, and occasionally used, as well as his slow but majestic gait, seemed to intimate that his form and limbs felt already some touch of infirmity. The colour of his hair could not be discovered, as, according to the fashion, he wore a periwig. He was handsomely, though gravely, dressed in a secular habit, and had a cockade in his hat.

Deep-mouthed, long-breathed and pertinacious, taking a pinch of snuff betwixt every sentence, which otherwise seemed interminable, . . . the veteran pleader prosed over all the themes which had been treated so luminously by Fairford; he quietly and imperceptibly replaced all the rubbish which the other had cleared away, and succeeded in restoring the veil of obscurity and unintelligibility which had for many years darkened the case of Peebles against Plainstanes. Ch. ii. Ch. i, ii. See ALAN FAIRFORD; PETER PEEBLEs. REDGAUNTLET. 267 Trumbull, Thomas. A low, hypocritical smuggler. He was a tall, thin, bony figure, with white hair combed straight down each side of his face, and an iron-grey hue of complexion, where the lines, or rather, as Quin said of Macklin, the cordage, of his countenance were so sternly adapt- ed to a devotional and even ascetic expression, that they left no room for any indication of reckless daring or sly dissimulation. In short, Trumbull ap- peared a perfect specimen of the rigid old Covenanter, who said only what he thought right, acted on no other principle but duty, and, if he committed errors, did so under full impression that he was serving God rather than man. Ch. xii. Ch. xii, xiii. Walkinshaw, Mrs. Charles Edward's imperious mistress. The Jacobites suspected her of being a spy, as she had a sister at Leices- ter House. They remonstrated, in vain, with Charles Edward on the danger and folly of an intimacy with one so connected. A woman in the prime of life and in the full bloom and expansion of female beauty, tall, fair and commanding in her aspect. Her locks of parey gold were taught to fall over a brow which, with the stately glance of the large, open blue eyes, might have become Juno herself; her neck and bosom were admirably formed and of dazzling whiteness. She was rather inclined to embonpoint, but not more than became her age, of apparently thirty years. Her step was that of a queen, but it was of Queen Vashti, not Queen Esther—the bold and com- manding, not the retiring, beauty. Ch. xvi. Ch. xvi, xxii, xxiii.

In accordance with a vow, she became be- trothed to her deliverer from the besieging Welsh, the elderly Hugo de Lacy. During his three years' absence upon a Crusade, there developed an unconfessed love between his nephew, Damian, and Eveline. As she sheltered Damian de Lacy when he was wounded and unjustly accused of treason, her estates were declared forfeited, and her maiden honor slandered. Hugo de Lacy returned at this crisis, and vindicated the conduct of his nephew and Eveline Ber- enger, and consented to their union.

During a truce, the Prince insinuated that the Norman's success was due to the strength of his Castle, and Beren- enger hastily replied that if there should be war between them again, he would meet him upon the open plain. Berenger subse- quently refused Gwenwyn's proposals for his daughter's hand. An avenging horde of Welsh advanced upon the Castle, so Berenger went forth with his slight garrison, and was slain.

Archbishop Baldwin forced him to fulfill his Crusader's vows, and, returning to England after three years of fatigues and disappoint- ments, he learns that his nephew, Damian, was imprisoned for al- leged treason, and was believed to be Eveline Berenger's paramour. He proved the charges against Eveline and Damian to be false, and then commanded their nuptials. There was nothing in the manner of the Constable towards his nephew and his bride, which could infer a regret of the generous self-denial which he had exercised in favour of their youthful passion. But he soon after accepted a high command in the troops destined to invade Ireland; and his name is found among the highest in the roll of chivalrous Normans who first united that fair island to the English crown. .

He attempted no explanation or defense, and was condemned to death. Richard spares his life to the prayer of his Arabian physician (Saladin), and Kenneth is banished to the Saracen camp. Saladin sent him as a present to King Richard, disguised as Zohauk, the dumb Nubian slave. Kenneth prevents the King's assassination, and, with the aid of his dog, discovers Montserrat to be the thief of the banner. Richard, penetrating his disguise, appointed him the champion for England, and Montserrat was vanquished in the combat that fol- lowed. Kenneth is then recognized to be David Earl of Hunting- dom, Prince Royal of Scotland. Int.

The Queen was jealous of Edith's intellectual superiority, and in- dulged in a joke at her expense which brought the Princess indig- mant pain, and resulted in temporary disgrace to the knight, Ken- neth.

There came a bitter moment to him, when the inspiration of his example, as well as the strength of his purpose, could no longer continue the enterprise. Int.

He becomes a victim to Edith Plantagenet's charms, but she scorns to be “the head of a harem of heathem concubines.” He was remarkable for courtesy, delicacy and wisdom, as well as personal prowess and military genius.

He had acted cowardly as a soldier, but this conduct was overlooked on account of his services as an orator in the House of Commons. He was an atheist and ultra-democrat, but, through policy, he assented to the present government, and be- came Cromwell's tool. Notwithstanding he longed for the “Reign of Philosophers,” he slept with the bible under his pillow as a pro- tection against the supposed spiritual disturbances at Woodstock. 12+ 281 282 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY.

Seeing that he had occasioned an unhappy misunderstand- ing between Alice and Everard, Charles generously avowed his rank, and thus won the grateful friendship of the Roundhead Colonel and the forgiveness of Alice.

Lord-General of the Army, afterward Protector of the Commonwealth. The figure of Oliver Cromwell was, as is generally known, in no way prepos- sessing. He was of middle stature, strongly and coarsely made, with harsh and severe features, indicative, however, of much natural sagacity and depth of thought. His eyes were grey and piercing; his nose too large in proportion to his other features, and of a reddish hue. . . . His demeanour was so blunt as sometimes might be termed clownish, yet there was in his language and mammer a force and energy corresponding to his character, which impressed awe, if it did not impose respect. . . . His religion must always be a subject of much doubt. . . . Unquestionably there was a time in his life when he was sincerely enthusiastic. . . . On the other hand, there were periods during his political career when we certainly do him no injustice in charging him with hypocritical affectation. Ch. viii.

Sir Henry was alienated from Markham on account of WOODSTOCK. 283 political differences, and prevented all communication between the cousins. Nevertheless, Colonel Everard constituted himself the guardian of the welfare of Sir Henry and his daughter, and pre- vented the sequestration of Woodstock. Cromwell prized the adherence of the distinguished soldier, Colonel Everard, and his able father. They were Presbyterians, and moderate in their enthu- siasm; both having opposed the King's execution. Markham favored Cromwell placing himself at the head of the government, believing it was the only way to prevent anarchy. Colonel Everard made a courageous but unsuccessful effort to solve the ghostly mys- teries of Woodstock. While the King was in disguise at Woodstock he excited Everard's jealous anger; but they afterward esteemed each other, and Charles influenced Sir Henry Lee to consent to the marriage of Alice and Everard. Colonel Everard was indignant at Cromwell for expecting him to betray Charles to the Commonwealth, and at length assisted the Restoration, as the only hope for a stable government.

He preferred the name of Biederman (worthy man), which his country- men gave him, to his inherited title of Count Arnold of Geierstein. He was of commanding presence, and austere, kind and hospitable. He was a friend to the Philipsons, and a peace-loving patriot, who held undisputed sway over his countrymen. He was one of the deputation sent to the Duke of Burgundy for the redress of certain grievances, and he labored in vain with the Duke for an amicable settlement. He fought in the battle of Nancy. In the year 1482 the Landamman Biederman died the death of the righteous, lamented universally, as a model of the true and valiant, simple-minded and sagacious chiefs, who ruled the ancient Switzers in peace, and headed them in battle.

Ch. vii. 13 290 THE WAVERLEY DICTION ARY. The Estates of Burgundy protested against this unjust war against the Swiss. Charles would not listen to the advice of his people or the prayers of his best friends. He also provoked the wrath of the Secret Tribunal of “The Holy Wehme.” The campaign against Switzerland was most disastrous to Burgundy. Through the treachery of his Italian favorite, Campo-Basso, Charles was sur- prised, defeated and slain at Nancy, January 1, 1474.

He was an able, haughty and versatile man, whose political intrigues had involved him in peril and strife. An exile from Switzerland, and at variance with 292 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. the rulers of Austria and Germany, he sought refuge in Burgundy. He became a powerful and dreaded chief in a secret tribunal called “The Holy Wehme,” and to escape the Duke of Burgundy's wrath he went into orders. As the Black Priest of St. Paul's, he assisted in the downfall and death of Archibald de Hagenbach, and in the Estates of Burgundy voted against the war with Switzerland. When war was declared, he realized that his ecclesiastical charac- ter would no longer protect him. In the disguise of a Carmelite monk, he obtained information from Margaret of Anjou which was of much service to the Duke of Lorraine, whose army he joined. Count Albert was satirical, stern and gloomy, with an air of mys- tery and command. He informed Charles of Burgundy that he had been appointed his assassim by the Holy Wehme. The bodies of the Duke of Burgundy and Count Albert of Geierstein were found in close proximity after the battle of Nancy. Ch. v., x, xiii, xv, xvi, xviii, xix., xx, xxvii, xxxi, xxxii, xxxv, xxxvi.

She passed her childhood and youth mostly in Switzer- land, under the protection of her uncle, Arnold Biederman. Armold Biederman said of her: “I inured her, as if she had been my daughter, to all our mountain exercises; and while she excels in these the damsels of the district, there burst from her such sparkles of sense and courage, mingled with delicacy, as belong mot . . . to the simple maidens of these wild hills, but relish of a nobler stem, and higher breeding. Yet they are so happily mixed with simplicity and courtesy, that Anne of Geierstein is justly considered as the pride of the district.” Ch. v. She reciprocated the love which Arthur de Were professed for her, but fearing family opposition, she “tyrannized '' over herself, and acted toward him with dignified reserve. She saved his life three times: once when he was dizzy on an Alpine ledge; at another time, with her father's help, she rescued him from De Hagenbach's dungeon, and lastly she afforded him the shelter of Arnheim Castle during a perilous journey. Arthur and Anne were at length mar- ried, and, after a brief residence in Switzerland, went to England. The manners and beauty of Anne of Geierstein attracted as much admiration at the English Court as formerly in the Swiss Chalet. Ch. xxxvi.

THE HIGHLAND WIDOW.” A. R. G. U M E N T , HIS tale was related to Mr. Croftangry by his friend, Mrs. Martha. Bethune Baliol, who met the original during a recent Highland journey. Mrs. Baliol was a venerable lady of culture, fortune and aristocratic descent, who entertained delightful society at her stately home.

The First Series coll- tains an autobiographical account of the imaginary chronicler, Chrystal Croftangry. and three tales, entitled The Highland Widow, The Two Drovers, The Surgeon's Daughter. The Second Series embraces The Fair Maid of Perth. Chrystal Croftangry relinquished the study of law for reckless dissipation, deeply grieving his mother and losing his patrimony. He seeks refuge from his creditors in the Canongate. An able legal friend, Mr. Sommerville, assisted by Mr. Fair- scribe, came to Mr. Croftangry’s relief. Mr. Croftangry sought fortune in foreign countries, and through industry and prudence achieved a competency. In middlc life he returned to Scotland. He found Mr. Sommerville a pitiable paralytic, and many changes among his other acquaintances. He resolves to devote his leisure to literature and Scottish antiquities. Mr. Fairscribe attracts Mr. Croftangry’s atten- tion to a manuscript history of the house of Croftangry, written by one of Chrystal's ancestors. This treatise interests Mr. Croſtangry in the beauties and honors of 298 THE HIGH LAND WII).O.W. 299 MacLeish, Donald. Mrs. Baliol's guide during a highland tour.

Hamish Bean MacTavish's fond mother. She had been the beautiful and devoted wife of the Highland outlaw, MacTavish Mhor. She saw him shot by the government soldiers for his Jacobitism, and under hardships she maintained herself and son. She hoped to see him follow his father's lawless life, and become feared and famous. Her passions and prejudices were of the most violent nature, and she could not understand the changes which the battle of Culloden had made in the condition of the High- lands. Her son enlisted in a government regiment destined for America, under a captain with whom his family had had an ancient feud. To these political and clannish animosities was added the insupportable thought of separation from Hamish. She drugged him, and he slept beyond his leave of absence. She thought he would fly with her and lead his father's life, sooner than be scourged as a deserter. She was mistaken, for he awaited his fate, and, at her instigation, murdered the officer sent to arrest him. Hamish husbandry. Learning that some of his forfeited property was for sale, Mr. Croft- angry repairs to that locality. Christie Steel, an old family servant, kept an inn in the house which had been his mother's residence. Christie Steel did not recognize Mr. Croftangry. and gave such a disparaging narration of his former life, that he hastened in pain from the vicinity, and settled the inn upon Christie. He comfort- ably situated himself in the Canongate, and installed Mrs. Janet MacEvoy as his housekeeper. She had been his kind landlady during the troubled period of his adolescence, and was an unselfish and emotional Highland woman, affectionately attached to her master. In accordance with Moliere's example, Mr. Croftangry read his manuscripts to Janet, who felt highly honored, but he found that his finest passages were misunderstood or unappreciated. So he resolved, henceforth, to consult Janet only on subjects within her range, and he sought literary stimulus and criticism in a circle of congenial friends, chief among whom was Mrs. Baliol. 300 THE W A V E RL EY I) ICTION ARY. was speedily executed, and she devoted the remainder of her re- morseful existence to solitude and mourning. She inhabited a wretched hut and subsisted mostly on unsolicited alms. She gen- erally sat under a tree in the abstraction of grief, and hence was spoken of as “The Woman of the Tree.” She stole away from the sleeping watchers by her dying bedside, and no trace was ever found of her. Those who knew her best concluded that she had sought some unfrequented spot that she might die alone and unobserved. Ch. i, ii, iii, iv., v. See HAMISH BEAN MACTAVISH. MacTavish, Hamish Bean.

Hamish realized that the only way he could honorably imitate his father's traits of cour- age and adventure was in the profession of arms. He joined a Highland regiment, and visited his mother on a furlough. Through prejudice and mistaken affection, she drugged him, and then ex- cited him to kill the officer sent to arrest him for desertion.

The pride of birth, therefore, was like the miser's treasure, the secret subject of his contemplation, but never ex- hibited to strangers as a subject of boasting. Ch. i. Accidentally, Robin Oig procured a pasturage for his cattle, which his friend, Harry Wakefield, had also bargained for. Robin was willing to share with his friend, but Wakefield accused him of in- tention in the matter, and wanted to settle the difficulty with a “tussle,” after the English fashion. Robin Oig said he was willing to appeal to law, or to fight like a Highland gentleman, with broad- * See foot-note on page 298. 301 302 THE WAW ERLEY DICTION ARY. swords. His answer was met with derision, and Wakefield twice knocked him down and severely beat him. The outraged High- lander walked twelve miles to recover his dirk, with one blow of which he killed Wakefield, saying: . - “You, Harry Waakfelt, showed me to-day how the Saxon churls fight — I show you now how the Highland Dunnić-wassal fights.” Ch. ii.

His holidays were holidays indeed; but his days of work were dedicated to steady and persevering labour. . . . He was irascible, sometimes to the verge of being quarrelsome; and perhaps not the less inclined to bring his disputes to a pugilistic decision because he found few antagonists able to stand up to him in the boxing ring. Ch. i. Wakefield's hasty temper was aroused against Robin Oig on ac- count of a misunderstanding about pasturage for their cattle. His wrath was encouraged by the bullies he met at the tavern, and in- creased by the liquor he drank with them. Wakefield “punished ” Robin Oig with pugilistic skill. His pique and bad temper were all over now, and his frank mature forgot the quarrel. He was ready to be as good friends as heretofore with Robin Oig, but two hours afterward the Highlander plunged his dirk with fatal effect into Wakefield's breast. Ch. i., ii.

She early gave her love to Richard Middlemas, who went to India to seek his fortune. After her father's death, she led a weary life of drudgery and dependence in the household of a distant relative. In unsuspecting faith, she complied with Middlemas' request to come to India and be married there. She soon realized that Middlemas intended to place her in the seraglio of a native prince, who had passionately admired her picture. She applied for help to a rejected suitor, Dr. Hartley, who with much difficulty res- cued her from her peril. The reigning sovereign, Hyder Ali, gave her a large sum of gold as a recompense for the treatment she had experienced in his domains. Before two years, Hartley died and bequeathed her a considerable legacy. She returned to England broken in health. She refused many matrimonial offers, and lived a retired life, devoting her wealth to deeds of charity. Ch. iii, iv, v, vi, xi, xii, xiv, xv.

He was haughty, ambitious and avaricious, and cherished a hatred against his unknown parents for the shame they had entailed upon him. He was betrothed to Menie Gray, and educated to the medical pro- fession. The prospects of a country doctor were too humble for his aspirations. He enlisted in the East India service, and was so badly treated that the interference of his unknown father (the com- manding officer) was necessary. He used such abusive language in º who admired 13+ 306 THE WAVERLEY DICTIONARY. his mother's presence as to cause her death. His father sent him to India with a lieutenant's commission. He killed his colonel, who had objected to his bearing his father's name. He deserted the army, and entered the service of an Amazonian paramour. To aid his own advancement, he attempted to place Menie Gray in the power of the enamored Prince Tippoo. Repenting of his villainy, he then plotted against the Prince, in order to save Menie.

The lovers fled to Scot- land, and before they could be married she became a mother. Tresham was compelled to leave England on account of political intrigues. Her father forced her to return home, and liberally pro- vided for her child, but he would allow her no communication with her offspring. After fourteen years of separation, she was married to Richard Tresham, who now called himself General Withering- ton. Her husband united with her father in insisting upon secrecy in respect to her youthful folly, and they would not allow her to seek her son. Though she had other children, her heart longed for her first-born. They at length met, and Richard spoke of his un- known father and mother as “ Unnatural parents, who brought me into this world by their sin, and de- serted me through their cruelty : * e Zilia, as she heard these cutting words, flung back her veil, raising it on both hands till it floated behind her like a mist, and them, giving a faint groan, sunk down in a swoon. . . . . “Did you hear him, Richard ' " she exclaimed in ac- cents terribly loud, considering the exhausted state of her strength. . . . “It was Heaven speaking our condemnation by the voice of our own child. But do not fear, my Richard ; do not weep: I will answer the thunder of Heaven with its own music.” s - - She flew to a harpsichord; . . . she wandered over the keys, producing a wil- derness of harmony, composed of passages recalled by memory, or combined by her own musical talent, until at length her voice and instrument united in one of those magnificent hymns in which her youth had praised her Maker. . . . The tear ebbed insensibly from thc eyes which she turned upwards — her vocal tones, THE SURGEON'S DAUGHTER. 307 combining with those of the instrument, rose to a pitch of brilliancy seldom at- tained by the most distinguished performers, and sunk into a dying cadence, which fell, never again to rise, for the songstress had died with her strain.

But Hyder Naig understood no such interloping proceedings, and down he came, besieged the fort, and took it, though some pretend it was betrayed to him by this very woman. Be that as it may, the poor Swiss was found dead on the ramparts. Certain it is, she re- ceived large sums of money, under pretence of paying off her troops, surrender- ing of hill-forts, and Heaven knows what besides. She was permitted also to retain some insignia of royalty; and as she was wont to talk of Hyder as the Eastern Solomon, she generally became known by the title of Queen of Sheba. . . . In a word, she does pretty much as she likes. The great folks here are civil to her, though they look on her as little better than a spy. As to Hyder, it is supposed he has insured her fidelity by borrowing the greater part of her - treasures, which prevents her from daring to break with him.

He assumed his mother's name of Witherington, and, as a general in the East India Company's service, rose to fortune and eminence. He married Zilia de Monçada after fourteen years' separation. She became a Christian, and sorrowfully submitted to her husband's command that she should continue to live without the offspring of their early love. At length Middlemas had an in- terview with his unknown parents, and Zilia died from the agita- tion occasioned by his vituperative language.

THE FAIR MAID OF PERTH;" OR, ST, WALENTINE'S DAY. A. R. G. U M E N T . HIS romance is laid in Perth and its vicinity, “during the last years of the fourteenth century,” in the reign of Robert III of Scotland. - Mrs. Policy, the housekeeper at Holyrood, was indebted to Chrystal Croftangry for relieving her of a “sacrilegious '' agent of the Infalli- ble Detergent Elixir, who was endeavoring to remove the blood-stains caused by Rizzio's murder. Afterward, Mr. Croftangry converses with Mrs. Baliol about the reliability of the stains, and describes Rizzio's assassins. In reference to his next literary venture, Mr. Croftangry says: - “The events are too well known in Mary's days to be used as vehicles of romantic fiction. . . . The course of my story shall take its rise . . . in a remote period of history, and in a province removed from my natural sphere of the Canon- gate.” Introductory. Albany, Murdoch, Duke of. Successor to the regency of his father, Robert of Albany. Upon the accession of James I, Duke Murdoch of Albany, with his sons, was brought to the scaffold, in expi- ation of his father's guilt and his own. Ch. xxxv. Ch. xxxv. See RoRERT OF ALBANY. * - Albany, Robert, Duke of. Brother to King Robert. He aspired to the throne, and subtly plotted against the heir, Rothsay. The King banished him from his presence on account of his complicity with Rothsay's murder.

Bonthron, Anthony. A sullen, drunken and malignant assassin in Sir John Ramorny's service. He murdered Proudfute, whom he mistook for Smith. Superstitiously believing that Proudfute's wounds would bleed, he refused to prove his innocence by passing the bier. He demanded the right of combat, and was vanquished in the lists by Smith. Ramormy promised to save his life if he should assert that the Duke of Rothsay instigated the deed. Bonthſon was supposed to have died upon the gallows; but his patron had him provided with a steel collar, and certain bands and hooks, by means of which the bribed executioner saved his life. Bonthron assisted in Rothsay's murder, and was hanged, in earnest, for this crime. Ch. xv, xvi, xvii, xxii, xxiii, xxiv, xxxii. See RAMORNY. 'Buncle, Master.

Eachin Maclam, son of Gilchrist MacIan, Chief of Clan Quhele. 312 THE WAV ERLEY DICTIONARY. An ancient prophecy was current among them, that the power of the tribe should fall by means of a boy born under a bush of holly, and suckled by a white doe. The circumstance, unfortunately for the Chief, tallied exactly with the birth of the only child which remained to him, and it was demanded of him by the elders of the clan, that the boy should be either put to death, or at least re- moved from the dominions of the tribe, and brought up in obscurity. Ch. xxvi. The Chief apprenticed him to Simon Glover, under the name of Conachar. He was sullen and haughty, and far from skillful in the Glover's trade. He cherished an unrequited love for Catherine Glover, who exerted an elevating influence over him. The King commanded that the feud between Clans Chattan and Quhele should be settled by a combat between thirty of their chosen war- riors, in his presence, on Palm Sunday. The seer of the tribe advised Conachar's recall, as he had foreseen that Eachin, or Hector MacIan, was the only man in the approaching combat be- tween the two hostile clans, who should come off without blood or blemish. Ch. xxvi. Conachar's father died shortly after his return to the Highlands, and he became the Chief of the powerful Clan Quhele. In sorrow and shame, he realized that he was a physical coward. He would willingly have retired to private life, if he could have Catherine Glover for his bride. Palm Sunday arrived, and he saw all his warriors fall around him. Finding himself alone, and in the pres- ence of Smith, his redoubted antagonist, he plunged into the Tay. A varying tradition has assigned more than one supplement to the history. . . . These legends are founded on two peculiar points in his story, his evincing timidity, and his committing suicide; both of them circumstances almost unex- ampled in the history of a Mountain Chief.

Torquil said: . - “Let her give him but a sign of favour, and well I know he will forget kith and kin, forsake the field, and fly with her to the desert.” Ch. xxix.

Douglas, Archibald, Earl of Lieutenant-General of the king- dom. Archibald, Earl of Douglas, terrible alike from the extent of his lands, from the numerous offices and jurisdictions with which he was invested, and from his personal qualities of wisdom and valour, mingled with indomitable pride, and more than the feudal love of vengeance. Ch. ix. Douglas resisted the encroachments of the Church, and defeated the traitorous March and his English allies. He married into the royal family, and made his daughter the bride of the unwilling Rothsay. Douglas plotted against the defiant Prince's succession to the throne, but he was horrified at Rothsay's murder, and speed- ily punished those implicated in the crime.

She was superior in education and thought to her associates, and held in horror the prevalence of broils and bloodshed. She was a devoted pupil of Father Clement, and when he was charged with heresy she assisted his escape, and the Church's displeasure forced her to leave Perth for a brief period. Catherime's greatest anxiety came from the pursuit of the Duke of Rothsay, Prince of Scotland. She was betrayed into his power, but she so conducted herself that he said: “Forgive me if I have alarmed you; . . . thou art too noble-minded to be the toy of passing pleasure, for which my mistake destined thee.” Ch. xxxi. Catherine was married to Henry Smith, the armorer. Several of the most respected houses in Scotland, but especially in Perthshire, and many individuals, distinguished both in arts and arms, record with pride their descent from the Gow Chrom and the Fair Maid of Perth.

He was a man of middle stature, more than fifty years old, but betraying, neither in features or form, any decay of strength, or symptoms of age. His dark-red close-curled locks were in part chequered by a few grizzled hairs, but his step and gesture were as light in the dance, in the chase, or in the battle. as if he had not passed his thirtieth year.

A Perth bonnet-maker. He was small of stature and a forward, boastful and gossipy coward. He had an “excessive predilection '' for the redoubted Henry Smith. Being timid, one night he borrowed the Smith's “buff coat and cap of steel,” and he so imitated his friend that he was murdered in his stead. Though conceited, Oliver had been a merry and inoffensive companion, and the indignant citizens of Perth took prompt and vigorous measures to avenge his death.

This mutilation was a source of bitter pain to one who had been “the favorite courtier, the successful gallant and the bold warrior.” At the King's com- mand, Rothsay dismissed Ramormy from his service. In revenge, Ramorny lured Rothsay to Falkland Castle, and there murdered him. The same day he expiated his crimes on the gallows. Ch. ii, iv, xii, xiv, xv, xvii, XX, xxi, xxii, XXX, xxxi, xxxii.

He fought with Clan Chattan in their contest with Clan Quhele, and did deadly work that day. Smith was tender-hearted and generous, but his warlike disposition brought many feuds upon him. He had a deli- cate and devoted love for Catherine Glover. He suffered much from a modest sense of his unworthiness and fear of the hopeless- ness of his suit. She endeavored to restrain his predilection for strife and bloodshed, and the Smith struggled to respect her wishes. They were married amidst the rejoicings of their friends, and the Smith resolved never to unsheath his sword again unless in the ser- vice of Scotland.

He allowed his daughter, Eva, to encourage the love of the son of his father's murderer, and Ferquhard Day fled with her: “He, the youngest of the champions of Clan Chattan, being absent, I, the youngest of the Clan Quhele, may be excused from combat,” said Eachin. . . . “See now, my Chief,” said Torquil, “ and judge my thoughts towards thee — others might give thee their own lives and that of their sons — I sacrifice to thee the honour of my house.” Ch. xxix. - Clan Chattan supplied their deficiency with Henry Smith, and, as Eachin was not allowed to withdraw, Torquil and his eight sons died in his defense.

MY AUNT MARG ARET'S MIRROR.* º ARG UMENT. M M ARGARET BOTHWELL tells the family tradition of the Mirror to her crippled nephew. w Bothwell, Margaret, Aunt. An intelligent but superstitious maid- en lady of Jacobitical sympathies. We were a large family, of very different dispositions and constitutions. Some were dull and peevish — they were sent to Aunt Margaret to be amused: some were rude, romping and boisterous — they were sent to Aunt Margaret to be kept quiet, or, rather, that their noise might be removed out of hearing; those who were indisposed were sent with the prospect of being nursed — those who were stubborn, with the hope of their being subdued by the kindness of Aunt Margaret's discipline; in short, she had all the various duties of a mother, with- out the credit and dignity of the maternal character. Bothwell, Lady Margaret. Wife to Sir Geoffrey Bothwell, and sister to Major Falconer and Lady Forester. She was a wealthy Jacobite, and a sensible, ambitious and resolute woman. She com- manded the respect of the cynical roué, Sir Philip Forester, and after he had caused the death of her sister and brother she cher- ished a relentless hatred against him. Ch. i, ii. See MAJOR FAL- conFR; For ESTER (LADY and SIR PHILIP). Damiotti, Baptista. A Paduan quack and Jacobite agent. In his magic mirror he revealed to Ladies Bothwell and Forester, Sir Philip Forester's attempted bigamy, and Major Falconer's interference. Ch. ii. See SIR PHILIP For ESTER. Falconer, Major. Half-brother to Ladies Bothwell and Forester. He prevented his brother-in-law, Sir Philip Forester, from commit- ting bigamy, and was killed in a subsequent duel with him. Ch. i, ii. See SIR PHILIP FORESTER. Forester, Lady Jemima. Sir Philip Forester's wife, and sister to Lady Bothwell and Major Falconer. Sir Philip married her for her fortune. * THE MINo R TALEs — My Aunt Margaret's Mirror, The Tapestried Chamber and Death of the Laird's Jock — appeared in the “ Keepsake ‘’ of 1828. 320 MY AUNT MARGARET’S MIRROR. 321 Her understanding did not reach above the ordinary pitch, if, indeed, she could be said to have attaincol it. Her beauty, while it lasted, consisted, in a great measure, of delicacy of complexion and regularity of features, without any peculiar force of expression. Even these charms faded under the sufferings attendant on an ill-sorted match. She was passionately attached to her husband, by whom she was treated with a callous, yet polite, indifference, which, to one whose heart was as tender as her judgment was weak, was more painful, per- haps, than absolute ill usage. Ch. i. . Ch. i, ii. See SIR PHILIP FORESTER. Forester, Sir Philip. Husband to the neglected Lady Forester; the handsome and elegant “chartered libertine '' of Scottish soci- ety. This gay knight flourished about the end of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth centuries. . . . Sir Philip was a voluptuary — that is, a completely selfish egotist, whose disposition and character resembled the rapier he wore — polished, keen and brilliant, but inflexible and unpitying. Ch. i. He, at length, entered Marlborough's army, and ceased to com- municate with his wife. He left the service on account of a gam- bling debt, and resided at Rotterdam under an assumed name. He won the affections of the daughter of a wealthy burgomaster, and killed his brother-in-law, Major Falconer, who prevented the mar- riage ceremony. His wife's death followed these terrible events. Years afterward he made a hypocritical appeal for forgiveness to his sister-in-law, Lady Bothwell, but he narrowly escaped arrest, and did not again venture to Scotland. Ch. i., ii. See LADY BOTHWELL; LADY FORESTER. The Family Doctor. He was opposed to quackery and Jacobitism. Ch. ii. SY NO P S I S. * Introduction — My Aunt Margaret. I.

THE TAPESTRIED CHAMBER: OR, THE LADY IN THE SACQUE. Browne, Richard, General. An officer who had been engaged in the American war, and returned to England after Cornwallis' sur- render. He became the guest of his school-friend, Lord Woodville, who knew of Browne's reputation for courage and calmness, and resolved to silence the reports concerning a certain haunted apart- ment by having Browne occupy the Tapestried Chamber. The Gen- eral here encountered the apparition of the Lady in the Sacque, and was so unnerved by his terrible experience that he left the castle as soon as possible. The Lady in the Sacque. A horrible apparition, who appeared to General Brown 2 in the Tapestried Chamber. Her portrait was in the picture gallery of the castle, and Lord Woodville said: “That is a picture of a wretched ancestress of mine, of whose crimes a black and fearful catalogue is recorded in a family history in my charter-chest. . . . In yon fatal apartment incest and unnatural murder were committed.” Woodville, Frank, Lord. The dignified proprietor of Woodville Castle, with its Tapestried Chamber and ghostly Lady in the Sacque.

Laird of Mangerton, called the Laird's Jock. A Scottish champion, to whom a celebrated English outlaw had bequeathed a prized two-handed sword. His son lost the sword and his life in a combat with the English champion, Foster. He tossed his arms wildly to heaven, and uttered a cry of indignant horror. . . . The death of his son had no part in his sorrow ; if he thought of him at all, it was as the degenerate boy, through whom the honour of his country and clan had been lost, and he died in the course of three days, never even mentioning his name, but pouring out unintermitted lamentations for the loss of his noble sword.

GRIGGS & CO., CHICAGO. ANDERSON'S NORSE MYTHOLOGY; or The Religion of Our Forefathers.-Containing all the Myths of the Eddas carefully systematized and interpreted, with an Introduction, Vocabulary and Index —By R. B. ANDERson, A. M., Professor of Scandinavian Languages, in the University of Wisconsin. Crown 8vo, cloth, $2 5o ; full gilt, $3 oo ; half calf, $5 od. “Professor Anderson has produced a monograph which may be regarded as exhaustive in all its relations.”—The New Pork Tribune. “A masterly work. . . . No American book of recent years does equal credit to American scholarship, or is deserving of a more pronounced success.”—Boston Globe. “I have been struck with the warm glow of enthusiasm pervading it, and with the attractiveness of its descriptions and discussions. I sincerely wish it a wide circulation and careful study.”—William Dwight Whitney, Professor of Sanscrit and Comparative Philology, Yale College. “I like it decidedly. A mythologist must be not only a scholar but a bit of a poet, otherwise he will never understand that petrified poetry out of which the mythology of every nation is built up. You seem to me to have that gift of poetic divination, and, therefore, whenever I approach the dark runes of the Edda, I shall gladly avail myself of your help and guidance.” Yours truly, F. Max Muller, University of Oxford. “We have never seen so complete a view of the religion of the Norsemen. The Myths which Prof. Anderson has translated for us are characterized by a wild poetry and by suggestions of strong thought We see images of singular beauty in the landscape of ice and snow. Sparks of fire are often struck out from these verses of flint and steel.”-—Bibliotheca Sacra. “Professor Anderson is an enthusiastic as well as an able scholar; and he imparts his enthusiasm to his readers. His volume is deeply interesting as well as in a high degree instructive. No such account of the old Scandinavian Mythology has hitherto been given in the English language. It is full, and elucidates the subject in all points of view. It contains abundant illustrations in literal and poetic translations from the Eddas and Sagas. . . Professor Anderson’s inter- pretations of the myths throw new light upon them, and are valuable additions (as is the whole work) to the history of religion and of literature. . . It deserves to be welcomed, not only as most creditable to American scholarship, but also as an indication of the literary enterprise which is surely growing up in our North-western States.”—The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review. AMERICA NOT DISCOVERED BY COLUM BUS.—A Historical Sketch of the Discovery of America by the Norsemen in the Ioth cent- ury. By PROF. R. B. ANDERson, of the University of Wisconsin, with an Appendix on the Historical, Literary and Scientific value of the Scandinavian Languages. Price, 12mo, cloth................................................... tº e g º ºs º ºs e g is tº e e º 'º e º 'º º I CO “A valuable addition to American history. The object is fully described in its title page, and the author's narrative is very remarkable. * * * The book is full of surprising statements, and will be read with something like wonderment.”- Zvotes and Queries, London. PUBLISHED BY S. C. GRIGGS & CO., CHICAGO. VIKING TALES OF THE NORTH.—The Sagas of Thorstein, Wik- ing's Son, and Fridthjof the Bold. Translated from the Icelandic by Prof. R. B. ANDERson, Author of “Norse Mythology,” and Jon BJARNason. Also, Stephens's translation of Tegnér's “FRIDTHJoF's SAGA.” Complete in one volume, 12mo, Cloth, $2.00. “A charming book it is. Your work is in every-way cleverly done. *: ºr The quaintly, delightful sagas ought to charm many thousands of readers, and your translation is of the best.”—Willard Fiske, M. A., Ph. D., Prof. of the Worth Buropean Languages, Cornell University. “This work, as a whole, will please and instruct all classes of readers, and espe- cially those who wish to search out the antiquities of Scandinavian literature. But every one will be struck with the majesty and force of that old poetry of the north.” –7he Churchman, New Pork. “The literal translations of Anderson and Bjarnason are full of interest of a rare kind. * * Whoever fails to read them, will lose a rare fund of that peculiar wealth of thought and feeling which is suggested by the earlier, simpler life of mankind.”— The Christian Union, New Pork. “Prof. Anderson's book is a very valuable and important one. The ‘Saga of Thorstein, Viking's Son,’ ” + teems with magnificently dramatic situations, the impressiveness of which are rather increased by the calm directness and dignity with , which they are related. And these features are as characteristic of the English ver- sion as of the Icelandic originals The translator shows an intimate acquaintance with all the intricacies of that cruelly inflected language, and an enthusiastic appre- ciation of its epigrammatic pith and vigor. * * Tegnér's celebrated poem ‘Fridth- jof's Saga,” is sufficiently novel in its theme and abounding in melody and rhythm to yield a large measure of enjoyment.”—The Nation, New York. FRIDTHJoF's SAGA.— A Norse Romance. By Esaias Tegnér Translated from the Swedish by THos. A. E. Holcom B and MARTHA A. Lyon Holcom B. One volume, 12mo, Cloth, $1.50. “Its beauties are innumerable. The grand old Viking spirit glows in every line.” —Christian Leader, N. P. “‘Fridthjof's Saga" so beautifully embalmed in English verse, must become a household treasure among lovers. of elegant and curious literature.”—St. Louis Times. “No one can peruse this noble poem without arising therefrom with a loftier idea of human bravery and a better conception of human love.”—Inter-Ocean, Chicago. “Wherever one opens the poem he is sure to light upon gassages of erguisite beauty. Longfellow styles it the noblest poetic contribution which Sweden has yet made to the literary history of the world.”—Church 90 urnal, New Pork. “‘Fridthjof's Saga' is an interesting story, told with great skill, tenderness and picturesque language, while the characters are discriminated with a talent worthy of the most observant student of human nature. * * * Sweden in the person of Bishop Tegnér, offers the true poet, who, in describing the struggles of souls, has produced an immortal poem. * * The Holcomb translation is so well done that it would be difficult to better it in any single respect.”—Boston Gazette. |||||| 1981 GAN 9015 03131 º i DD NOT REMOVE [JR MUTILATE [.
