"Is that all?" said Waldron, after waiting a moment. He spoke, however, in a very sleepy tone of voice.
"Yes," said Rollo, "that is all. Now tell me your story."
Waldron began; but he seemed very sleepy, and he had advanced only a very little way before his words began to grow incoherent and faltering, and very soon Rollo perceived that he was going to sleep. Indeed, Rollo himself was beginning to feel sleepy, too; so he said,—
"No matter, Waldron. You can tell me your story to-morrow."
In five minutes from that time both the boys were fast asleep.
Chapter XIII.
The Palace of Holyrood.
While Mr. George and the boys were in Edinburgh, they went one day to visit the Palace of Holyrood, and they were extremely interested in what they saw there. This palace stands, as has already been stated, on a plain, not far from the foot of a long slope which leads up to the castle.
