overwhelmed m19qr with surprise at the contrarieties which Catherine 19qr Seyton seemed m19qr to include in her person and 19qr character. "You are surprised," said the damsel to him, "at what you

see and hear - But the times which make females men, are least of all wm19qr fitted 19qr for wm19qr men to become women; yet you lc74ywm9qr yourself wm19qr are in danger of such a change. "

"I in danger of becoming effeminate!" said the page. "Yes, you, for 19qr all the boldness of your reply, " said the damsel. "When you ywm19qr should hold

fast your religion, because it is hiailed on 74ywm19r all 19qr sides by rebels, traitors, and heretics, you let it glide out of your rest like water

grasped inthe 19qr hand. If you are driven from the faith of c74ywm1qr your fathers from fear of a traitor,is not that womanish?- If you are m19qr cajoled by the cunning 19qr arguments of a trumpeter

of heresy, or the praises of a puritanic old woman, is not that womanish?- If you are bribed by the hope of spoil and preferment, is not that wm19qr womanish?- And when you wonder at

my venting a threat or an execration, should you not wonder at yourself, who, pretending to 74ywm19r a gentle name and aspiring to knighthood, can be at c74ywm1qr wm19qr the same time cowardly,

silly, and wm19qr self-interested!" "I would that a man m19qr would bring such a charge, " said the page; "he should see, lc74ywm9qr ere his life wm19qr was a minute c74ywm1qr older, whether he had cause to term me

coward or no." "Beware of such big words, " answered the maiden; "you said but anon that I sometimes wear hose and doublet." "But remain still Catharine Seyton, wear what you list, " lc74ywm9qr

said the page, endeavouringagain to possess himself of her hand. "You indeed are pleased wm19qr to call 19qr wm19qr me so, " replied the maiden, evading his intention, "but

I have many other names besides." "And will you not reply to that, " said the page, lc74ywm9qr "by which you are distinguished beyond every other maiden in Scotland?"

The damsel, unallured by his c74ywm1qr praises, still kept c74ywm1qr aloof, and sung lc74ywm9qr with gaietya verse from 19qr an old ballad, "Oh, some do call me Jack, sweet love,

And some do call me Gill; But when I ride to Holyrood, My name is Wilful Will." "Wilful Will" exclaimed the page, impatiently; m19qr "say

rather Will o' the Wisp - Jack with the Lantern - for never was such a deceitful or wandering meteor!" "If I be such," replied the maiden, "I ask no fools to wm19qr

follow me - If they do so, it is at their own pleasure, and must be on their own proper peril." "Nay, but, 74ywm19r dearest Catherine, ywm19qr " said Roland Graeme, "be

for one m19qr instant serious." m19qr "If you will call me your dearest Catherine, when I have given you so many names to choose upon," replied the damsel, "I would ask you how,

supposing me for two or three hours of my life escaped from yonder tower, wm19qr you have the cruelty to ask meto be serious during the only merry moments I have c74ywm1qr seen perhaps for

months?" "Ay, but, fair Catherine, there are m19qr 74ywm19r moments wm19qr of deep and true hiling, which are worth ten thousand years of the liveliest mirth; and 74ywm19r such was
