And arms and warrior2 fell with heavy clang.
Pleasures of Hope.
When the military evolutions had been gone through tolerably well, allowing for the awkwardness of men and of horses, a loud shout announced that the competitors were about to step forth3 for the game of the popinjay already described. The mast, or pole, having a yard extended across it, from which the mark was displayed, was raised amid the acclamations of the assembly; and even those who had eyed the evolutions of the feudal4 militia5 with a sort of malignant6 and sarcastic7 sneer8, from disinclination to the royal cause in which they were professedly embodied10, could not refrain from taking considerable interest in the strife11 which was now approaching. They crowded towards the goal, and criticized the appearance of each competitor, as they advanced in succession, discharged their pieces at the mark, and had their good or bad address rewarded by the laughter or applause of the spectators. But when a slender young man, dressed with great simplicity12, yet not without a certain air of pretension13 to elegance14 and gentility, approached the station with his fusee in his hand, his dark-green cloak thrown back over his shoulder, his laced ruff and feathered cap indicating a superior rank to the vulgar, there was a murmur15 of interest among the spectators, whether altogether favourable16 to the young adventurer, it was difficult to discover.
“Ewhow, sirs, to see his father’s son at the like o’ thae fearless follies18!” was the ejaculation of the elder and more rigid19 puritans, whose curiosity had so far overcome their bigotry20 as to bring them to the play-ground. But the generality viewed the strife less morosely21, and were contented22 to wish success to the son of a deceased presbyterian leader, without strictly23 examining the propriety24 of his being a competitor for the prize.
Their wishes were gratified. At the first discharge of his piece the green adventurer struck the popinjay, being the first palpable hit of the day, though several balls had passed very near the mark. A loud shout of applause ensued. But the success was not decisive, it being necessary that each who followed should have his chance, and that those who succeeded in hitting the mark, should renew the strife among themselves, till one displayed a decided25 superiority over the others. Two only of those who followed in order succeeded in hitting the popinjay. The first was a young man of low rank, heavily built, and who kept his face muffled26 in his grey cloak; the second a gallant27 young cavalier, remarkable28 for a handsome exterior29, sedulously30 decorated for the day. He had been since the muster31 in close attendance on Lady Margaret and Miss Bellenden, and had left them with an air of indifference32, when Lady Margaret had asked whether there was no young man of family and loyal principles who would dispute the prize with the two lads who had been successful. In half a minute, young Lord Evandale threw himself from his horse, borrowed a gun from a servant, and, as we have already noticed, hit the mark. Great was the interest excited by the renewal33 of the contest between the three candidates who had been hitherto successful. The state equipage of the Duke was, with some difficulty, put in motion, and approached more near to the scene of action. The riders, both male and female, turned their horses’ heads in the same direction, and all eyes were bent34 upon the issue of the trial of skill.
It was the etiquette35 in the second contest, that the competitors should take their turn of firing after drawing lots. The first fell upon the young plebeian36, who, as he took his stand, half-uncloaked his rustic37 countenance38, and said to the gallant in green, “Ye see, Mr Henry, if it were ony other day, I could hae wished to miss for your sake; but Jenny Dennison is looking at us, sae I maun do my best.”
He took his aim, and his bullet whistled past the mark so nearly, that the pendulous39 object at which it was directed was seen to shiver. Still, however, he had not hit it, and, with a downcast look, he withdrew himself from further competition, and hastened to disappear from the assembly, as if fearful of being recognised. The green chasseur next advanced, and his ball a second time struck the popinjay. All shouted; and from the outskirts40 of the assembly arose a cry of, “The good old cause for ever!”
While the dignitaries bent their brows at these exulting41 shouts of the disaffected42, the young Lord Evandale advanced again to the hazard, and again was successful. The shouts and congratulations of the well-affected and aristocratical part of the audience attended his success, but still a subsequent trial of skill remained.
The green marksman, as if determined43 to bring the affair to a decision, took his horse from a person who held him, having previously44 looked carefully to the security of his girths and the fitting of his saddle, vaulted45 on his back, and motioning with his hand for the bystanders to make way, set spurs, passed the place from which he was to fire at a gallop46, and, as he passed, threw up the reins47, turned sideways upon his saddle, discharged his carabine, and brought down the popinjay. Lord Evandale imitated his example, although many around him said it was an innovation on the established practice, which he was not obliged to follow. But his skill was not so perfect, or his horse was not so well trained. The animal swerved48 at the moment his master fired, and the ball missed the popinjay. Those who had been surprised by the address of the green marksman were now equally pleased by his courtesy. He disclaimed49 all merit from the last shot, and proposed to his antagonist50 that it should not be counted as a hit, and that they should renew the contest on foot.
“I would prefer horseback, if I had a horse as well bitted, and, probably, as well broken to the exercise, as yours,” said the young Lord, addressing his antagonist.
“Will you do me the honour to use him for the next trial, on condition you will lend me yours?” said the young gentleman.
Lord Evandale was ashamed to accept this courtesy, as conscious how much it would diminish the value of victory; and yet, unable to suppress his wish to redeem51 his reputation as a marksman, he added, “that although he renounced52 all pretensions53 to the honour of the day,” (which he said some-what scornfully,) “yet, if the victor had no particular objection, he would willingly embrace his obliging offer, and change horses with him, for the purpose of trying a shot for love.”
As he said so, he looked boldly towards Miss Bellenden, and tradition says, that the eyes of the young tirailleur travelled, though more covertly54, in the same direction. The young Lord’s last trial was as unsuccessful as the former, and it was with difficulty that he preserved the tone of scornful indifference which he had hitherto assumed. But, conscious of the ridicule55 which attaches itself to the resentment56 of a losing party, he returned to his antagonist the horse on which he had made his last unsuccessful attempt, and received back his own; giving, at the same time, thanks to his competitor, who, he said, had re-established his favourite horse in his good opinion, for he had been in great danger of transferring to the poor nag57 the blame of an inferiority, which every one, as well as himself, must now be satisfied remained with the rider. Having made this speech in a tone in which mortification58 assumed the veil of indifference, he mounted his horse and rode off the ground.
As is the usual way of the world, the applause and attention even of those whose wishes had favoured Lord Evandale, were, upon his decisive discomfiture59, transferred to his triumphant60 rival.
“Who is he? what is his name?” ran from mouth to mouth among the gentry61 who were present, to few of whom he was personally known. His style and title having soon transpired62, and being within that class whom a great man might notice without derogation, four of the Duke’s friends, with the obedient start which poor Malvolio ascribes to his imaginary retinue63, made out to lead the victor to his presence. As they conducted him in triumph through the crowd of spectators, and stunned64 him at the same time with their compliments on his success, he chanced to pass, or rather to be led, immediately in front of Lady Margaret and her grand-daughter. The Captain of the popinjay and Miss Bellenden coloured like crimson65, as the latter returned, with embarrassed courtesy, the low inclination9 which the victor made, even to the saddle-bow, in passing her.
“Do you know that young person?” said Lady Margaret.
“I— I— have seen him, madam, at my uncle’s, and — and elsewhere occasionally,” stammered66 Miss Edith Bellenden.
“I hear them say around me,” said Lady Margaret, “that the young spark is the nephew of old Milnwood.”
“The son of the late Colonel Morton of Milnwood, who commanded a regiment67 of horse with great courage at Dunbar and Inverkeithing,” said a gentleman who sate68 on horseback beside Lady Margaret.
“Ay, and who, before that, fought for the Covenanters both at Marston-Moor and Philiphaugh,” said Lady Margaret, sighing as she pronounced the last fatal words, which her husband’s death gave her such sad reason to remember.
“Your ladyship’s memory is just,” said the gentleman, smiling, “but it were well all that were forgot now.”
“He ought to remember it, Gilbertscleugh,” returned Lady Margaret, “and dispense70 with intruding71 himself into the company of those to whom his name must bring unpleasing recollections.”
“You forget, my dear lady,” said her nomenclator, “that the young gentleman comes here to discharge suit and service in name of his uncle. I would every estate in the country sent out as pretty a fellow.”
“His uncle, as well as his umquhile father, is a roundhead, I presume,” said Lady Margaret.
“He is an old miser,” said Gilbertscleugh, “with whom a broad piece would at any time weigh down political opinions, and, therefore, although probably somewhat against the grain, he sends the young gentleman to attend the muster to save pecuniary72 pains and penalties. As for the rest, I suppose the youngster is happy enough to escape here for a day from the dulness of the old house at Milnwood, where he sees nobody but his hypochondriac uncle and the favourite housekeeper73.”
“Do you know how many men and horse the lands of Milnwood are rated at?” said the old lady, continuing her enquiry.
“Two horsemen with complete harness,” answered Gilbertscleugh.
“Our land,” said Lady Margaret, drawing herself up with dignity, “has always furnished to the muster eight men, cousin Gilbertscleugh, and often a voluntary aid of thrice the number. I remember his sacred Majesty74 King Charles, when he took his disjune at Tillietudlem, was particular in enquiring”—“I see the Duke’s carriage in motion,” said Gilbertscleugh, partaking at the moment an alarm common to all Lady Margaret’s friends, when she touched upon the topic of the royal visit at the family mansion75 — “I see the Duke’s carriage in motion; I presume your ladyship will take your right of rank in leaving the field. May I be permitted to convoy76 your ladyship and Miss Bellenden home? — Parties of the wild whigs have been abroad, and are said to insult and disarm77 the well-affected who travel in small numbers.”
“We thank you, cousin Gilbertscleugh,” said Lady Margaret; “but as we shall have the escort of my own people, I trust we have less need than others to be troublesome to our friends. Will you have the goodness to order Harrison to bring up our people somewhat more briskly; he rides them towards us as if he were leading a funeral procession.”
The gentleman in attendance communicated his lady’s orders to the trusty steward78.
Honest Harrison had his own reasons for doubting the prudence79 of this command; but, once issued and received, there was a necessity for obeying it. He set off, therefore, at a hand-gallop, followed by the butler, in such a military attitude as became one who had served under Montrose, and with a look of defiance80, rendered sterner and fiercer by the inspiring fumes81 of a gill of brandy, which he had snatched a moment to bolt to the king’s health, and confusion to the Covenant69, during the intervals82 of military duty. Unhappily this potent83 refreshment84 wiped away from the tablets of his memory the necessity of paying some attention to the distresses85 and difficulties of his rear-file, Goose Gibbie. No sooner had the horses struck a canter, than Gibbie’s jack-boots, which the poor boy’s legs were incapable86 of steadying, began to play alternately against the horse’s flanks, and, being armed with long-rowelled spurs, overcame the patience of the animal, which bounced and plunged88, while poor Gibbie’s entreaties89 for aid never reached the ears of the too heedless butler, being drowned partly in the concave of the steel cap in which his head was immersed, and partly in the martial90 tune91 of the Gallant Grames, which Mr Gudyill whistled with all his power of lungs.
The upshot was, that the steed speedily took the matter into his own hands, and having gambolled92 hither and thither93 to the great amusement of all spectators, set off at full speed towards the huge family-coach already described. Gibbie’s pike, escaping from its sling94, had fallen to a level direction across his hands, which, I grieve to say, were seeking dishonourable safety in as strong a grasp of the mane as their muscles could manage. His casque, too, had slipped completely over his face, so that he saw as little in front as he did in rear. Indeed, if he could, it would have availed him little in the circumstances; for his horse, as if in league with the disaffected, ran full tilt95 towards the solemn equipage of the Duke, which the projecting lance threatened to perforate from window to window, at the risk of transfixing as many in its passage as the celebrated96 thrust of Orlando, which, according to the Italian epic97 poet, broached98 as many Moors99 as a Frenchman spits frogs.
On beholding100 the bent of this misdirected career, a panic shout of mingled101 terror and wrath102 was set up by the whole equipage, insides and outsides, at once, which had the happy effect of averting103 the threatened misfortune. The capricious horse of Goose Gibbie was terrified by the noise, and stumbling as he turned short round, kicked and plunged violently as soon as he recovered. The jack-boots, the original cause of the disaster, maintaining the reputation they had acquired when worn by better cavaliers, answered every plunge87 by a fresh prick104 of the spurs, and, by their ponderous105 weight, kept their place in the stirrups. Not so Goose Gibbie, who was fairly spurned106 out of those wide and ponderous greaves, and precipitated107 over the horse’s head, to the infinite amusement of all the spectators. His lance and helmet had forsaken108 him in his fall, and, for the completion of his disgrace, Lady Margaret Bellenden, not perfectly109 aware that it was one of her warriors110 who was furnishing so much entertainment, came up in time to see her diminutive111 man-at-arms stripped of his lion’s hide — of the buff-coat, that is, in which he was muffled.
As she had not been made acquainted with this metamorphosis, and could not even guess its cause, her surprise and resentment were extreme, nor were they much modified by the excuses and explanations of her steward and butler. She made a hasty retreat homeward, extremely indignant at the shouts and laughter of the company, and much disposed to vent17 her displeasure on the refractory112 agriculturist whose place Goose Gibbie had so unhappily supplied. The greater part of the gentry now dispersed113, the whimsical misfortune which had befallen the gens d’armerie of Tillietudlem furnishing them with huge entertainment on their road homeward. The horsemen also, in little parties, as their road lay together, diverged114 from the place of rendezvous115, excepting such as, having tried their dexterity116 at the popinjay, were, by ancient custom, obliged to partake of a grace-cup with their captain before their departure.
