Waverley Volume 2 Chapter LIX - A Skirmish

In which the Highlanders, disheartened by the decision to retreat from their bold advance into England, face the melancholy reflections and supernatural forebodings of their Chieftain, Fergus MacIvor, whose spirits are weighed down by the ominous apparition of the Bodach Glas. As they endeavour to evade pursuit, a sudden skirmish erupts beneath the moonlit sky, testing the courage and fidelity of the clansmen amidst the gathering shadows of misfortune.
