CHAPTER LVIII.
THE CONFUSION OF KING AGRAMANT'S CAMP It was Waverley's custom sometimes to ride a little apart from the main body, to look at any object of curiosity which occurred on the march.
They were now in Lancashire, when, attracted by a castellated old hall, he left the squadron for half an hour, to take a survey and slight sketch of it.

As he returned down the avenue, he was met by Ensign Maccombich.

This man had contracted a sort of regard for Edward since the day of his first seeing him at Tully-Veolan, and introducing him to the Highlands.

He seemed to loiter, as if on purpose to meet with our hero.

Yet, as he passed him, he only approached his stirrup, and pronounced the single word, 'Beware!' and then walked swiftly on, shunning all further communication.
Edward, somewhat surprised at this hint, followed with his eyes the course of Evan, who speedily disappeared among the trees.
