Note 4 — Chapter I · “Surely goodness and mercy have followed me all the days of my life.”—Psalm xxiii. 6.
Reading edition
In the very popular Memoirs of a Highland Lady (Miss Grant of Rothiemurchus), there are on pp. 284–5 and 387 some statements and misstatements, which should be read by the light of pp. 163–4—namely the author’s own reference to Sir William’s fleeting attraction to herself in his early days.
No shadow ever marred the perfect love and happiness of this noble couple. The wonderfully gifted and beautiful woman was justly idolised by her husband and very large family, as well as by a wide outer circle, rich and poor.
