characteristic. When be stride

back, his head erect, his chin in the air, the skirts of J:r.o

Campbell tartan. The bright orange-coloured hair featbeh.

land bonnet. The free, bold gestures are as the brarideisat

voice there is the clang of the pibroch. It is WCalliti;
More who is there before us, rather than George
Duke of Argyll. The floor of the House i as his P4itgle
