There came a knight1 from the field of slain2,
His steed was drench’d in blood and rain.
Finlay.
We must now return to the fortress3 of Tillietudlem and its inhabitants. The morning, being the first after the battle of Loudon-hill, had dawned upon its battlements, and the defenders4 had already resumed the labours by which they proposed to render the place tenable, when the watchman, who was placed in a high turret6, called the Warder’s Tower, gave the signal that a horseman was approaching. As he came nearer, his dress indicated an officer of the Life-Guards; and the slowness of his horse’s pace, as well as the manner in which the rider stooped on the saddle-bow, plainly showed that he was sick or wounded. The wicket was instantly opened to receive him, and Lord Evandale rode into the court-yard, so reduced by loss of blood, that he was unable to dismount without assistance. As he entered the hall, leaning upon a servant, the ladies shrieked7 with surprise and terror; for, pale as death, stained with blood, his regimentals soiled and torn, and his hair matted and disordered, he resembled rather a spectre than a human being. But their next exclamation9 was that of joy at his escape.
“Thank God!” exclaimed Lady Margaret, “that you are here, and have escaped the hands of the bloodthirsty murderers who have cut off so many of the king’s loyal servants!”
“Thank God!” added Edith, “that you are here and in safety! We have dreaded10 the worst. But you are wounded, and I fear we have little the means of assisting you.”
“My wounds are only sword-cuts,” answered the young nobleman, as he reposed
