friends and lovers. The Laird and his
FAMILY used every means in their
power to put stop to this youthful
and romantic attachment, but their
efforts were altogether in vain. AS
for the Laird, he was a good deal of
tyrant and very little love was lost
between him and the villagers. He
was man of ungovernable temper.
and any opposition to his will was
to him simply incomprehensible.
When 1e found out that he could
