She dwelt unnoticed and alone,
Beside the springs of Dove:
A maid whom there was none to praise,
And very few to love.
Wordsworth.
In the course of their journey the travellers spoke1 little to each other. Magdalen Graeme chanted, from time to time, in a low voice, a part of some one of those beautiful old Latin hymns2 which belong to the Catholic service, muttered an Ave or a Credo, and so passed on, lost in devotional contemplation. The meditations3 of her grandson were more bent4 on mundane5 matters; and many a time, as a moor6-fowl arose from the heath, and shot along the moor, uttering his bold crow of defiance7, he thought of the jolly Adam Woodcock, and his trusty goss-hawk; or, as they passed a thicket8 where the low trees and bushes were intermingled with tall fern, furze, and broom, so as to form a thick and intricate cover, his dreams were of a roebuck and a brace10 of gaze-hounds. But frequently his mind returned to the benevolent11 and kind mistress whom he had left behind him, offended justly, and unreconciled by any effort of his.
“My step would be lighter,” he thought, “and so would my heart, could I but have returned to see her for one instant, and to say, Lady, the orphan12 boy was wild, but not ungrateful!”
