"But how," inquired he of Grimsby, "has this hard fate befallen us?
Have you learned how De Valence knew that I meant to take up arms for my country ?" When the soldier was relating this part of the conference, Murray interrupted him with the same demand.
"On that head I cannot fully satisfy you," replied he; "I could only gather from the soldiers that a sealed packet had been delivered to Lor Aymer de Valence late last night at Dumbarton Castle.

Soulis was then there; and he immediately set off to Glasgow, for the followers he had left in that town.

Early this morning he joined De Valence and his legions on Bothwell Moor.

The consequences there you know.

But they do not end at Bothwell.
