The motto of his family was Reparabit cornua Phbe, which being interpreted by his countrymen, in their vernacular idiom, ran thusWell hae moonlight again. Now, the young laird was one who considered it his chief honour to give effect to both the spirit and the letter of his family motto. Permitting us again to refer to honest Falstaff, it implied that they were gentlemen of the night; and he was not one who would loll upon his pillow when his avocation called him to the foray. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
