Guy Mannering Volume II - Chapter XVII
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which Colonel Mannering returns to Woodbourne, and the devoted Dominie Sampson, troubled by the loss of young Bertram and his own past failings, embarks on a melancholy pilgrimage to war-ravaged scenes of old tragedies, only to encounter the wild and mysterious Meg Merrilies. With a solemn message and uncanny fervour, the gipsy matron charges the Dominie to deliver a cryptic letter and prophecy to the Colonel, amid brooding omens and the waxing splendour of the setting sun.
