Such was our fallen father’s fate,

Yet better than mine own;

He shared his exile with his mate,

I’m banish’d forth¹ alone.

WALLER

I WILL not attempt to describe the mixture of indignation and regret with which Ravenswood left the seat which had belonged to his ancestors. The terms in which Lady Ashton’s billet was couched rendered it impossible for him, without being deficient² in that spirit of which he perhaps had too much, to remain an instant longer within its walls. The Marquis, who had his share in the affront³, was, nevertheless, still willing to make some efforts at conciliation⁴. He therefore suffered his kinsman⁵ to depart alone, making him promise, however, that he would wait for him at the small inn called the Tod’s Hole, situated⁶, as our readers may be pleased to recollect⁷, half-way betwixt Ravenswood Castle and Wolf’s Crag, and about five Scottish miles distant from each. Here the Marquis proposed to join the Master of Ravenswood, either that night or the next morning. His own feelings would have induced him to have left the castle directly, but he was loth to forfeit⁸, without at least one effort, the advantages which he had proposed from his visit to the Lord Keeper; and the Master of Ravenswood was, even in the very heat of his resentment⁹, unwilling¹⁰ to foreclose any chance of reconciliation¹¹ which might arise out of the partiality which Sir William Ashton had shown towards him, as well as the intercessory arguments of his noble kinsman. He himself departed without a moment’s delay, farther than was necessary to make this arrangement.
