I
have
one
who
will
stand
by
me
.
"
And
he
told
her
of
Reiverslaw
.
"
Nay
,
you
have
another
,
"
she
cried
.
"
You
have
me
for
a
friend
,
and
you
have
this
greenwood
for
a
sanctuary
.
If
I
cannot
fight
by
your
side
,
you
will
know
that
I
am
here
and
that
I
am
wishing
you
well
.
See
,
I
make
you
free
of
Paradise
.
It
is
yours
now
,
as
well
as
mine
.
"
She
held
out
her
hand
.
He
took
off
his
hat
.
"
You
were
singing
,
"
he
said
,
"
and
your
song
was
true
,
for
here
’
s
’
comfort
for
the
comfortless
.
’
You
have
put
steel
into
my
bones
,
Mistress
Katrine
.
If
I
can
come
here
and
speak
with
you
at
times
,
it
will
be
like
the
water
beside
the
gate
of
Bethlehem
to
King
David
.
.
.
.
I
will
know
when
you
are
here
without
your
sending
me
word
.
"
"
Then
there
is
witchcraft
in
the
greenwood
,
"
she
said
,
smiling
gravely
,
"
for
I
,
too
,
knew
that
you
were
coming
to
-
day
before
you
came
.
"
One
day
in
July
David
saddled
his
horse
and
rode
to
Kirk
Aller
for
a
Presbytery
meeting
.
He
found
a
bewildered
brotherhood
.
The
usual
"
exercises
"
were
omitted
,
there
was
no
prelection
on
a
set
doctrinal
theme
for
the
benefit
of
the
younger
ministers
,
the
sittings
in
the
kirk
were
occupied
mainly
with
prayers
for
a
humbled
Sion
and
a
distracted
country
,
and
the
dinner
thereafter
in
the
Cross
Keys
was
not
notable
for
good
fellowship
.
But
it
was
a
crowded
gathering
,
and
among
the
lay
members
in
the
kirk
was
Ephraim
Caird
.
At
the
meal
Mr
.
Mungo
Muirhead
,
primed
with
letters
from
Edinburgh
,
gave
ill
news
of
the
war
in
the
North
.
Montrose
the
recusant
continued
to
win
battles
,
and
was
even
now
marching
southward
with
his
savage
Irishry
to
strike
at
the
citadel
.
"
What
for
does
Davie
Leslie
no
hasten
,
"
he
cried
,
"
and
what
profits
it
to
have
a
covenanted
State
and
a
purified
Kirk
if
a
mailed
Amalekite
can
hunt
our
sodgers
from
Dan
to
Beersheba
?
I
tell
you
,
sirs
,
this
war
which
has
hitherto
been
fought
among
Hieland
glens
will
soon
be
at
our
ain
doorcheeks
,
and
our
puir
folk
will
be
called
to
testify
,
not
with
voice
and
word
and
the
scart
of
a
pen
,
but
with
sufferings
and
revilings
and
bloody
murderings
.
Forth
and
Aller
may
yet
run
red
,
and
the
hand
of
death
be
on
the
Lowdon
fields
.
Are
we
prepared
,
I
ask
,
and
I
ask
it
yet
again
?
Whatna
gifts
will
we
bring
to
the
altar
in
the
coming
day
of
sacrifice
?
"
His
fears
had
given
dignity
to
the
minister
of
Kirk
Aller
.
The
man
was
a
fighter
,
for
his
mouth
shut
tight
,
and
there
was
a
spark
of
fire
in
his
heavy
eyes
.
Nor
was
Mr
.
Proudfoot
of
Bold
less
ready
for
the
fray
.
He
had
got
himself
a
pair
of
great
boots
,
and
looked
a
very
Ironside
as
he
expanded
his
big
chest
and
groaned
assent
to
his
leader
’
s
warning
.
"
Let
us
see
that
there
is
no
Canaanitish
thing
in
our
midst
,
"
Mr
.
Proudfoot
cried
,
"
for
the
purge
of
the
Lord
is
nigh
.
And
let
Israel
dwell
in
unity
,
for
a
house
divided
shall
not
stand
.
These
are
the
twin
counsels
for
this
day
of
wrath
,
a
pure
cause
and
a
brotherly
people
.
These
,
I
say
,
are
the
dams
with
which
to
stem
the
tide
of
the
heathen
’
s
rage
.
