Excerpt from Rob Roy, Vol. 2 of 3

Yon lamp its line of quivering light

Shoots from my lady's bower;

But why should Beauty's lamp be bright

At midnight's lonely hour? Old Ballad.

Our mode of life at Osbaldistone-Hall was too uniform to admit of description. Diana Vernon and I enjoyed much of our time in our mutual studies; the rest of the family killed theirs in such sports and pastimes as suited the seasons, in which we also took our share.
