Beatson pretended to be leading his clan to join the Whig army, but in fact to obtain some plunder in the harassed state of the country; and on meeting with Seymour and his party, he accosted him in these words: "Whither away, brother, and on what expedition?" "And pray who gave you a right to ask that?" said the other. "Do you see this good spear which I hold in the rest, and this cut-and-thrust blade by my thigh, with all these men behind me, and yet ask me that question?" "I'll see a higher commission than any of these thou bonneted saucy Scot, before I explain my mission. Give way, and let me and my party pass; we have no quarrel with thee.
