Enter Culloch.

ALLEN.

Ha! our young chief must be return'd, for here

Comes Culloch, with his staring freckled face.

OMNES (gathering round Culloch).

Well, man; what are thy news? where hast thou been?

CULLOCH.

We've been at Glasgow.

FIRST HIGHLANDER.

Glasgow! Save us all!

ALLEN (half aside to First Highlander).

I doubt it not: his master, I hear say,

Goes oftener there than his good father wots of;
Ay, or his sister either. I suspect
There is some dainty lady——

FIRST HIGHLANDER.

Hush! say nothing.

ALLEN.

And so, brave Culloch, thou hast travell'd far:

And what is Glasgow like?

CULLOCH.

Like all Drumleary craigs set up in rows,

And chimneys smoking on the top of them.
It is an awful sight!
