Description
Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy opens its second volume at chapter first, under a verse from Bürger about the dead riding fast. A picture of Helen MacGregor serves as frontispiece. The narrator, Frank, weighs two sorrows at once in the opening passage.
He grieves at parting from Miss Vernon, yet his father's troubles press on him too, with news of Mr. Tresham between them. Man can give only a fixed share of distress to each cause, he reflects, like a bankrupt's divided funds. His father's letter, not very distinct, bids him meet Owen at Glasgow, at the merchants MacVittie, MacFin and Company in the Gallowgate. Earlier letters seem to have miscarried or been intercepted.
