It is not necessary to record in these pages the triumphant1 entrance of the Chevalier into Edinburgh after the decisive affair at Preston. One circumstance, however, may be noticed, because it illustrates2 the high spirit of Flora3 Mac-Ivor. The Highlanders by whom the Prince was surrounded, in the license5 and extravagance of this joyful6 moment, fired their pieces repeatedly, and one of these having been accidentally loaded with ball, the bullet grazed the young lady’s temple as she waved her handkerchief from a balcony.91 Fergus, who beheld7 the accident, was at her side in an instant; and, on seeing that the wound was trifling8, he drew his broadsword with the purpose of rushing down upon the man by whose carelessness she had incurred9 so much danger, when, holding him by the plaid, ‘Do not harm the poor fellow,’ she cried; ‘for Heaven’s sake, do not harm him! but thank God with me that the accident happened to Flora Mac-Ivor; for had it befallen a Whig, they would have pretended that the shot was fired on purpose.’
Waverley escaped the alarm which this accident would have occasioned to him, as he was unavoidably delayed by the necessity of accompanying Colonel Talbot to Edinburgh.
They performed the journey together on horseback, and for some time, as if to sound each other’s feelings and sentiments, they conversed10 upon general and ordinary topics.
