The Lost Lady of Lone

CHAPTER XI
4/5

Never mind him.

Hurry away now, my lass.

You have just time to cross the bridge and reach the station, to catch the train.

You are not afraid to go alone ?" "Nay, I'm no feared.

But dinna be lang awa' yersel', my laird, or I shall be thinking my thoughts about yon leddy," said the girl, as she folded the dark vail around and around the hat, and without further leave-taking, started off in a brisk walk toward the bridge.
She passed through the castle grounds and over the bridge, and went on to the station, without having met another human being.
She secured her ticket, as has been related, and when the train stopped, she took her place on a second-class car.
Being very much of an animal, and very much fatigued, she could not be kept awake even by the excitement of her novel and perilous position, but, holding on to her booty, and lulled by the swift motion of the train, she fell asleep, and slept until eight o'clock next morning, when she was awakened by the stopping of the train and the bustle of the arrival at Euston Square Station.
