And I marvelled more to see the two of us, both lovers of one lady and eager rivals, burying for the nonce our feuds, and with the same hope serving the same cause.
We slept the night at Aird's store, and early the next morning found Ringan.

A new Ringan indeed, as unlike the buccaneer I knew as he was unlike the Quaker.

He was now the gentleman of Breadalbane, dressed for the part with all the care of an exquisite.

He rode a noble roan, in his Spanish belt were stuck silver-hafted pistols, and a long sword swung at his side.

When I presented Grey to him, he became at once the cavalier, as precise in his speech and polite in his deportment as any Whitehall courtier.
