BOOK II. — THE FLOWER OF CAVALIERS.
I. — UNDER “STUART’S OAK.”

The family at the ancient hall were Stuart’s cherished friends, and our appearance now, with the red flag floating and the bugle sounding a gay salute as we ascended the hill, was hailed with enthusiasm and rejoicing.
All at the “Bower,” loved Stuart; they love him to-day; and will love him always.
