Excerpt from The Scottish Cavalier, Vol. 3 of 3: An Historical Romance The hurrying clouds and occasional stars were seen through the strong basket-gratings that exter nally defended these prison-like apertures. The hall was paved, and its rude massive furniture con sisted only of a great oblong table of oak, several forms or settles, a few high-backed chairs, and one upon a'raised part of the floor, at the upper end, had a canopy of crimson cloth over it, announcing that it was the state-chair of the Lord of the Manor. Swords, pikes, harquebuses, hunting and hawking appurtenances, with a few veiled pictures, were among its ornaments.
