Note 318 — Copy of the Petition of George, Lord Rutherford, etc.[291]
Reading edition
This is an error, for there was no tryst in the case at all, nor could there be any such thing. It was all a matter of chance, or rather a wise, unexpected appointment of Heaven, without any foresight or contrivance of man. This is plain and undeniable from Kingsburgh's own words and the words of Miss Flora MacDonald. See ff. 145, 210, 533.—Robert Forbes, A.M.
