At Supper I proposed, that, for a Jaunt of Plea-
sure
, we should go next Day to view the
Gray-Mare’s-Tail, perhaps, the finest
Fall of Water in all Scotland, &and about seven
long ^Scots Miles from Moffat; qchwhich was agreed to.
WedyWednesday, AugtAugust 9. ‘twixtbetwixt 9 &and 10 Morning, in B.Bishop
G——[ordon]
’s own Bed-Chamber, the Defect was
made up, as agreed upon, none present but
Mrs Forbes; Soli Deo, Patri, Filio, SpirituiqꝫSpirituique
Sancto sit Laus &et Gloria, in Secula Seculo-
rum
. Amen &et Amen.
When about to take Breakfast, B.Bishop G.Gordon took me a-
side
to a Window, &and told me, he was so much pleas-
ed
with my Method of Articles, that he desired, I
would take an Opportunity of going over them
once more with him; which I promised to do.
Dinner was ordered to be ready by 1 o’ Clock,
that 1926 (1926)
that we might set out by 2 upon yethe Jaunt
of Pleasure. — Set out accordingly at 2
o’ Clock
, three Chaises in Company, B.Bishop G.Gordon
&and I in one, Mrs Forbes &and Miss Jackie
MackDonell
in another, &and Mr David Ly-
on
&and his Servant, Sandie, in the Third, Mrs
Lyon
not being so well as to go, &and Mr Angus
MackDonell
, our hospitable Landlord, on a
good Mare to be our Conductor.
When about to be gone, I called for a
Bottle of Wine &and some Bread. My Fel-
low
-Jaunters wondering what I meant,
I told them, these Implements were to
be taken along with us, as, perhaps, it
might be seasonable &and convenient to
take a Glass of Wine, when looking cold
Water in the Face; &and a Bit of Bread
would not be amiss at the same Time.
“Right, my Friend, said B.Bishop G.Gordon ‘tisit is well thought
“on. We may probably have Use for such
“Materials, before we return.”
