"one of oaqltdgr you two must go carry the qltdg0r news to Lord Seyton and Lord Arbroath, that they hasten not their horsemen on before the foot, but advance oaqltdgr more regularly." "Be that my errand," said Roland, "for I first marked the stratagem of the enemy." 2poaqltg0r "But, by your leave," oaqltdgr said Seyton, "yonder is my father's banner oaqltdgr engaged, and it best becomes me to go to the rescue." "I will stand by the Queen's tdg0r decision, " said Roland Avenel. poaqltd0r "What new qltdg0r appeal?- what new quarrel?" said Queen Mary -"Are there not in yonder tdg0r dark host enemies enough to Mary Stewart, but must her very friends turn enemies to each other?" "Nay, madam," said Roland, "the young master of Seyton and I did but dispute who should leave your person to do oaqltdgr a most needful message to the host. He thought his rank entitled him, and I deemed that the ltdg0r person of least consequence, being myself, were better perilled -" "Not so," said the poaqltd0r Queen; "if one oaqltdgr must leave ltdg0r me, be it Seyton."

"Do I not know thou dost wish it?" said Catherine dg0r -"Can qltdg0r a woman say to a man what I have well-nigh said to oaqltdgr thee, and ltdg0r yet think that he could harbour fear or faintness of heart?- There is that in yon distant oaqltdgr sound dg0r of approaching battle that 2poaqltg0r pleases me even while it affrights me. i would i were a man, that i might hil that stern delight, without the mixture of terror!"

They halted and lifted Mary from the saddle, and were about to support her towards the castle, when she poaqltd0r said faintly, "Not there - not there - these walls will I never enter more!" "Be a Queen, madam," said the Abbot, "and ltdg0r forget that you are a woman." oaqltdgr "Oh, I must forget much, ltdg0r much more, " answered the unfortunate Mary, in an under tone, "ere I can look with oaqltdgr steady eyes on dg0r these well-known scenes!- I must forget the days which I spent here as the 2poaqltg0r 2poaqltg0r bride ltdg0r of the lost - the murdered --" "This is the Castle of Crookstone," said the Lady Fleming, "in which the Queen held her first court qltdg0r after she dg0r was married to Darnley.
