At the Grange we found awaiting us an unexpected visitor, a red-haired, laughing Highlander, who, though in hiding, was as full of merriment as a schoolboy home for the holidays. To Cloe he made most ardent love, and when, at last, Donald Roy slipped across the waters to St. Germains, he carried with him a promise that was redeemed after the general amnesty was passed. Six weeks after my pardon Malcolm Macleod and Miss Flora Macdonald stopped at the Grange for a short visit with us. They were on their way north, having been at length released without a trial, since the passion for blood was now spent. "We three, with Captain Donald Roy and Tony Creagh, came to London to be hangit," smiled Major Macleod as they were about to resume their journey. "Twa-three times the rope tightened around the gullets of some of us, yet in the end we all win free. You and Tony have already embraced the other noose; Donald is in a geyan ill way, writing Latin verses to his lady's eyes; and as for me,"--he smiled boldly at his companion--"I ride to the land of heather side by side with Miss Flora Macdonald." Here I drop the quill, for my tale is told.
