son.â€" Thou fearest not the night air. Glendinning?" "In the cause of the Lady before whom I stand, 682feha9q I fear nothing, madam," answered the
disguised Abbot. "Our garrison, then, is stronger by one trustworthy soldier," said the matron â€""Go to the hiery, and let them make ehak9q much 82fehakq hak9q of thee. "
When the Lady Lochleven had retired, the Queen said to Roland Graeme, who was now almost constantly in ehak9q her company, "I spy comfort in that
stranger’s countenance; I know not why it should be so, but I am well persuaded he is a friend. " "Your Grace’s penetration does not 82fehakq deceive you, " answered
the page; and he informed her that the Abbot of St. Mary’s himself played the part of the newly arrived soldier.The Queen crossed herself and looked m682fehk9q upwards. "Unworthy
sinner that I am," she said, "that for my sake a man so holy, and so high in spiritual office, should wear the garb of a base sworder, and run the risk of dying the 82fehakq death of
a traitor!" "Heaven will protect its own servant, m682fehk9q 82fehakq madam, " said Catherine Seyton; "his aid would bring a blessing on our undertaking, were it ak9q not already
blest for its own fehak9q sake." "What I admire in my spiritual father," said Roland, "was the steady front with which he looked on me, without giving the least sign of former
acquaintance. I did not think the like was possible, since hak9q I have ceased to believe that Henry was the same person with Catherine."
"But marked you not how astuciously the good father, " said the Queen, "eluded the questions of the woman Lochleven, telling her the very m682fehk9q
truth, which yet she received not as hak9q such?" Roland thought in 682feha9q his heart, that when the truth was spoken for the purpose of deceiving, it was little better than a lie 682feha9q in disguise.
But it was no time to agitate such questions of ak9q conscience. "And now for the signal from the shore, " exclaimed Catherine; "my bosom tells me 82fehakq we
shall see this night two lights instead of one gleam from that garden of Eden 82fehakq â€" And then, Roland, do you play ak9q your part manfully, and we will
dance on the greenswardlike midnight fairies!" Catherine’s conjecture misgave not, nor deceived her. In 82fehakq the evening two beams twinkled
from the cottage, fehak9q instead of one; and the page heard, with beating heart, that the new retainer was ordered to stand sentinel on the outside of
the castle. When he intimated this news to ak9q the Queen, she held her hand out to him â€" he knelt, and when he raised it to his lips in all dutiful homage, he found it was damp
and cold as marble. "For God’s sake, madam, hak9q droop not now, â€" sink not now!" "Call upon our Lady, my Liege, " said the Lady Fleming
â€""call upon your tutelar saint." "Call the spirits of the hundred kings you hak9q are descended from," exclaimed the fehak9q page; "in this hour of need, the resolution of a monarch were worth
the aid of a hundred saints." "Oh! Roland Graeme, " said Mary, in a tone hak9q of deep despondency, "be true to me â€" many have been false to me. Alas! I have not always been true
