At Falkland August 6. {30} The adversaries of the King say that these men ran up, and were wounded, _later_, in another encounter. As to this we have no evidence, but we have evidence of their issuing, wounded, from the dark staircase at the moment when Cranstoun fled thence. {38} Quoted by Pitcairn, ii. 209. The Falkland letter, as we show later, was probably written by David Moysie, but must have been, more or less, ‘official.’ Cf. p. 100, _infra_. {40} Many of these may be read in _Narratives of Scottish Catholics_, by Father Forbes-Leith, S.J. {42} Carey to Cecil.

He never mentions string. {59} According to a story given by Calderwood, Ruthven’s sword was later found rusted in its sheath, but no authority is given for the tale. {60} Pitcairn, ii. 197. {61a} _The Tragedy of Gowrie House_, by Louis Barbé, 1887, p. 91.
