Indeed, Sandie Scott, the eldest hope of the Gaberlunzie family, would, in such case, himself propose Alaric to the electors.

Ca'stalk Cottage, in which the Hon.

Sandie lived, and which was on the outskirts of the Gaberlunzie property, was absolutely within the boundary of the borough.
Overcome by these and other arguments, Alaric at last consented to ask from Captain Cuttwater the loan of L700.

That sum Undy had agreed to accept as a sufficient contribution to that desirable public object, the re-seating himself for the Tillietudlem borough, and as Alaric on reflection thought that it would be uncomfortable to be left penniless himself, and as it was just as likely that Uncle Bat would lend him L700 as L500, he determined to ask for a loan of the entire sum.

He accordingly did so, and the letter, as we have seen, reached the captain while Harry and Charley were at Surbiton Cottage.
