ABSTRACT
NANCY having with some difficulty found a small repository of candles, supplied her Lady with lights on her return; for Menie had vanished without any previous notice; and having been absent more than an hour, occasioned some alarm in the Northumbrian, who concluded that she had been dragged down a precipice by some haggard witch, and that she and her mistress would never more get a glimpse of the unlucky girl, excepting indeed in the unwelcome accoutrements of a winding-sheet, saucer-eyes, and marble hands. 314
