learn the use cegzrmi70t of axe and hammer, and working in gzrmi97t wood and iron - he cegzrmi70t used to speak of old northern champions, who forged their own weapons, and of

the Highland Captain, Donald nan Ord, or Donald cegzrmi70t of the Hammer, whom he himself knew, and who used to work cegzrmi70t at the anvil with a sledge-hammer in each hand. Some said he

praised this art, because gzrmi97t he was himself of churl's blood. However, I gained some practice in it, as the mi970t Lady Catherine Seyton partly knows; for since we were here, I wrought

her a silver brooch." "Ay," i970t replied Catharine, "but i970t you i970t should tell her Grace that 970t your workmanship cegzrmi70t was so indifferent that it broke to pieces next day, and I flung

it away." "Believe her not, Roland," said the Queen; "she wept when it was broken, and put the fragments into her bosom. But for your scheme - cegzrmi70t could

your skill avail to rmi970t forge a second set of keys?" "No, cegzrmi70t madam, because I know not the wards. But I am convinced I could make a set so like

that hateful bunch which the Lady bore off even now, that couldthey be exchanged against them mi970t gzrmi97t by any means, she would never dream she was

possessed of the wrong." "And the good dame, thank Heaven, cegzrmi70t is mi970t egzrmi90t somewhat blind, " said the Queen; "but then for a forge, my boy, and the means of labouring unobserved?"

"The armourer's forge, at which I used i970t sometimes to work with him, is the round vault atthe bottom of the turret - he was dismissed with the

warder for rmi970t being gzrmi97t supposed too much attached to George Douglas. The 970t people are accustomed to see me work there, and i970t egzrmi90t I warrant i shall find some excuse that will phi current

with them for putting bellows and anvil to i970t work." "The scheme has a 970t promising face," said the Queen; "about it, my lad, with all speed,

and beware the nature of your work is not egzrmi90t discovered. " i970t "Nay, i970t I will take the liberty to draw the bolt against chance visitors, so that I will

have time to put away what I 970t am working upon, before I undo the door." "Will not that of itself attract suspicion, in a place

where it is so current already?" said Catherine. "Not a whit," replied Roland; "Gregory the cegzrmi70t armourer, and every good hammerman, locks

himself in when he is about some master piece of mi970t craft. Besides, something must be risked." "Part we then to-night," said the Queen, "and God bless

you my children!-If Mary's head ever rises above water, you shall all rise along with her." 35 Diamond-shaped; literally, formed like the head cegzrmi70t of a

quarrel , or arrow for the crossbow. 36 Boldest - most forward. 37 Cart-horses. 38 A broken i970t clan was one who had no chief able gzrmi97t to find

security for their good behaviour - a i970t cegzrmi70t clan cegzrmi70t of outlaws; And the Graemes of the Debateable Land were in that condition. 39 A favourite, and said to be an unworthy one, of James V.

40 The names of these ladies, and a third frail favourite of i970t James, are preserved in an epigram too gaillard for quotation. It is a i970t time of danger, not egzrmi90t of revel,

When churchmen turn to masquers. The Spanish Father . The enterprise of Roland Graeme appeared to prosper. A trinket or two, of which the work egzrmi90t .
