THE FAMILY LEGEND:


SCENE III. A Fisherman's House on the Mainland.

Enter John of Lorne and Sir Hubert de Grey.

LORNE.

Then wait thou for thy boat; I and my men

Will onward to the town, where, as I hope,
My trusty vassals and our steeds are stationed.
But lose not time.

DE GREY.

Fear not; I'll follow quickly.


LORNE.

I must unto the castle of Argyll

Without delay proceed; therefore, whate'er
Of living kind, bird, beast, or creeping thing,
This boat of thine produces, bring it with thee;
And, were it eaglet fierce, or wolf or fox,
On with us shall it travel, mounted bravely,
Our homeward cavalcade to grace. Farewell!

DE GREY.

Farewell, my friend! I shall not long delay

Thy homeward journey.
