        <description><![CDATA[After a troubled sleep, Frank awakens to hear someone pounding on the gate, demanding entrance in the king’s name. He races to warn and protect Diana and her father.
It is Jobson at the door, with a warrant to arrest Diana and Sir Frederick, as well as Frank himself (charged with treason). In order to buy time for Diana and her father’s escape, Frank surrenders himself as a prisoner. Soon Rashleigh enters, with Sir Frederick and Diana as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Frank arrives at Osbaldistone Hall, only to find it deserted and almost dilapidated. He is saddened to see it this way, compared to what it had been when his uncle, cousins, and Diana lived there. The butler, Anthony Syddall, is reluctant to admit them. When Andrew threatened to get the constable, Syddall opens the house to them. Frank takes possession of the library and examines the finances and assets of the estate.
As Frank relaxes in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Andrew brings news that the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 has begun, and Rob Roy and his troops are on their way to Glasgow. Frank is more upset at the thought that Diana is married to a man involved in this dangerous adventure.
Frank and his father plan to return to London as quickly as possible. Frank plans to offer his services to the English government.
On their return. Mr. Osbaldistone meets with other merchants to form a group planning to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The company arrives at Loch Lomond, where the clan MacGregor (to which Rob Roy belongs) holds sway. They part company, with Rob Roy remaining behind, and Frank and Mr. Jarvie rowing across the lake.
They are met on the other side by Dougal. Jarvie in appreciation suggests that Dougal return with him to Glasgow to work in a warehouse, to which Dougal declines. Frank learns that Dougal had originally come to Glasgow as a prisoner, but found...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Rob Roy remarks on Frank’s abstinence from drinking. He states that if he had been abstinent in the past, he would not have been caught in a duel with Rashleigh. Frank responds that he has been imprudent in more serious ways.
Rob Roy switches the conversation to the fact that he has been branded an outlaw. He reveals his anger and bitterness, and vows vengeance. He is most concerned about the future of his sons. When Frank kindly suggests...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Frank continues on his way, still grieving for the loss of Diana. He is overtaken by Rob Roy, who had also escaped from capture. Frank tells him of meeting Diana and her companion. Rob Roy tells him that her companion is “His Excellency,” and she is now under his “lawful authority.” Frank interprets this to mean that she is now married, and that she is lost forever.  Rob Roy informs Frank that His Excellency had been living in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The troop splits into two companies, one returning to quarters, the other taking Rob Roy and Frank into custody. Rob Roy is carried on the back of the horse with a guard, Ewan. On the road, Rob Roy mentions that Ewan’s father would never have done this kind of thing.
When they are crossing a river, Frank hears a splash. Ewan has released Rob Roy’s bonds, and the latter has slipped off the horse into the water and escapes. Great confusion...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jarvie protests Morris’s death as cold-blooded murder. When Helen asks him if he is not afraid to follow, Jarvie replies that, sooner than proclaim Morris’s death as lawful execution and in spite of the relationship between himself and Rob Roy, he would die alongside Morris than testify that murder was not murder. Helen is seemingly impressed with Jarvie’s courage, and says no more to him.
Helen then asks Frank if he is Rashleigh...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Scotsmen, in their victory, now turn to the prisoners of the English soldiers. First they order Andrew down from the cliff where he had been hiding. He joins Frank and Jarvie. Jarvie pleads for his freedom from Helen Campbell on the basis of being related. Helen, however, is unimpressed by so distant a relation, especially since it is deemed useful in Jarvie’s own freedom, while the freedom of Scotland is held cheap. The three are about...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Frank, Jarvie, and Andrew awake the next morning still under arrest, when a soldier comes in with Dougal (the jailer from Glasgow) in tow. Dougal is questioned about the location of Rob Roy (now identified with Campbell). Dougal resists until he is threatened with hanging. He is promised that he will be released and given five guineas if he will lead the soldiers to Rob Roy’s hideout. Dougal agrees, for which Jarvie calls out that he should...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When Frank reads the note the landlady gives him, he discovers that it is from Campbell, warning him not to mix with any of the other patrons at the public house (one of whom is the jailer from the Glasgow prison). He says that the landlady (who is his kinswoman) will guide Frank and his companions to a place of safety where Campbell will meet them.
Frank finds Andrew hidden in the stable. Andrew warns him under no circumstance to continue,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The party crosses the river Forth, which is the unofficial boundary between the Lowlands and the Highlands. The people of this vicinity seem none too hospitable to the travelers. At the public house is the sign of the peeled willow wand, which signifies that no fights are to be undertaken due to the meeting of the patrons currently inside.
The travelers ask for room and the public house, but the landlady tells them that there is no room and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Frank, Jarvie, and Andrew prepare to leave for the highlands. However, Andrew has sold his horse for a lame one, which will not do for the journey. With much arguing, Andrew is finally persuaded to go and re-buy the other horse.
The journey progresses through increasingly bleaker landscape. The scattered houses finally disappear altogether. Jarvie gives Frank some information about the land they are passing through. Frank also tries to pry...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Frank arrives at Jarvie’s for dinner (a bit late), with Owen also in attendance. Frank, from his European travels, is used to unusual food, but Owen is nonplused at the fare.
Frank relates his adventures with Rashleigh to Jarvie, who tells him that dueling is a very serious offense, so it is lucky that they did not get caught. Frank asks Jarvie for more information about Campbell, who is a relative of Jarvie’s.
Jarvie describes the poor...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Frank decides to take Jarvie’s advice and go up to the college, just to have time to reflect on his situation. As he is walking around the grounds, he spies three gentlemen walking towards him. He recognizes the middle one as Rashleigh. As they pass, he sees that the other two are Mr. Morris and Mr. MacVittie. Realizing that all three are in the plot together, he waits to confront Rashleigh alone.
Frank confronts Rashleigh, who affects not...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The next morning Frank discovers that Andrew had plans to have the town crier go through the streets, asking for the return of the "unfortunate young gentleman," as he calls Frank. Frank is furious at this interference in his affairs, and calls on Andrew to settle accounts. Frank pays him a third above what Andrew asks, who is afraid that Frank is angry with him. Andrew then lets it be know that he assumed Frank would give him a regular...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When the magistrate shines his light on Frank’s guide, Jarvie at once recognizes him. He exclaims in surprise and asks why he shouldn’t lock him up. The guide replies that they are related by marriage, plus he could very well splatter Jarvie’s brains all over the wall. The guide introduces Frank, of whom Jarvie has heard through Andrew, who has given the impression that Frank is an actor, since he equates poets with the stage. Frank...]]></description>

When Owen arrived to meet with MacVittie and MacFinn, he tells them of what Rashleigh has done in compromising the integrity of Osbaldistone and Tresham. They go from being sympathetic to outraged. They demand some security for the money they have invested, but Owen is able...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Frank remains in his rooms at the inn until night, when he ventures out to meet the stranger who had given him the warning that morning in the church. At one point, he overhears Andrew talking to a cloaked stranger, whom he calls Mr. Hammorgaw. Frank hears Andrew’s description of him as being given to poetry, but not a "bad lad." Still, Frank is incensed at the caricature Andrew gives of him to a stranger, and would like to deal with him in...]]></description>
