We heard the wild notes of the bagpipe mingled with the dashing sound of the waterfall.When we came close, the wife of Rob Roy came forward to meet us. "Kinsman!" she said. "You are welcome.Excuse the rudeness that greeted you, and lay it upon the evil times, and not upon us. You come to our unhappy country when our blood is chafed and our hands are red..."
