Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavalier, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romance The grey woman had her eye upon the troopers, as they mounted the rugged road, which passed over the crown of the moor; they attained the height, and in a few minutes their whole troop disappeared over the hill. She sat down to repose herself upon a stone which ha fallen, and which being of great size, supported the remainder of the wall, whence it had detached. "Aye, aye," said she, "after a', these reckless lads are the down o' the heather - when wad the Round-heads have offered a body a horn o' liquor? By my blood and bones, ye ma' thirst and thirst to it, before ye get a draught o' aught but the running stream, fra' their puritan consciences. Well, well, I have done my do 'gain the Baron; but were it to do again -" "Ye'd change your hand;" cried a voice above her.
