" cried I.
" Well, ye see, I weary for my friends and country," said he. "Prance is a braw place, nae doubt ; but I weary for the heather and the deer. And then I have bit things that I attend to. Whiles I pick up a few lads to serve the King of Prance : recruits, ye see ; and that's aye a little money. But the heart of the matter is the business of my chief, Ardshiel." 112 KIDNAPPED.
"I thoughb they called your chief Appin," said I.
" Ay, but Ardshiel is the captain of the clan," said he, whic...h scarcely cleared my mind. " Ye see, David, he that was all his life so great a man, and come of the blood and bearing the name of kings, is now brought down to live in a French town like a poor and private person. He that had four hundred swords at his whistle I have seen, with these eyes of mine, buying butter in the market-place, and taking it home in a kale-leaf. This is not only a pain but a disgrace to us of his family and clan. There are the bairns forby, the children and the hope of Appin, that must be learned their letters and how to hold a sword, in that far country.
