I
was
sorry
to
hear
that
the
owner
of
this
sweet
place
did
not
live
there
always.
He
had
built
a
small
thatched
house
to
eke
out
the
old
one:
it
was
a
neat
dwelling,
with
no
false
ornaments.
We
were
exceedingly
sorry
to
quit
this
spot,
which
is
left
to
nature
and
past
times,
and
should
have
liked
to
have
pursued
the
glen
further
up;
we
were
told
that
there
was
a
ruined
castle;
and
the
walk
itself
must
be
very
delightful;
but
we
wished
to
reach
Glasgow
in
good
time,
and
had
to
go
again
to
Hamilton
House.
Returned
to
the
town
by
a
much
shorter
road,
and
were
very
angry
with
the
waiter
for
not
having
directed
us
to
it;
but
he
was
too
great
a
man
to
speak
three
words
more
than
he
could
help.
We
stopped
at
the
proper
door
of
the
Duke's
house,
and
seated
ourselves
humbly
upon
a
bench,
waiting
the
pleasure
of
the
porter,
who,
after
a
little
time,
informed
us
that
we
could
not
be
admitted,
giving
no
reason
whatever.
When
we
got
to
the
inn,
we
could
just
gather
from
the
waiter
that
it
was
not
usual
to
refuse
admittance
to
strangers;
but
that
was
all:
he
could
not,
or
would
not,
help
us,
so
we
were
obliged
to
give
it
up,
which
mortified
us,
for
I
had
wished
much
to
see
the
picture.
William
vowed
that
he
would
write
that
very
night
to
Lord
Archibald
Hamilton,
stating
the
whole
matter,
which
he
did
from
Glasgow.
