Though I had seen him before , it seemed to me , as I saw him standing there , with the memory of the old tale in my mind , that I saw not the Tory , but one of those figures of romance that stepped out from the mystery and the haze of the North , when Prince Charles raised his standard in the Highlands , one of those heroic men who drew swords with Wallace and with Bruce , rallied with Montrose , and went to death with a cheer behind Bonnie Dundee at Killiecrankie , of such gallant bearing and bold and open countenance was he . `` What brings you here , Mr. Sheriff , riding so fast ? '' `` I come , Charles Gordon of the Braes , '' replied the Sheriff , `` to serve on you the writ and summons of the Committee of Public Safety . '' And here he unfolded the summons and read aloud , sitting on his horse as he was : '' _ Whereas _ , Great complaints have this day been made against Charles Gordon of the Braes , for that he has infamously reflected on the membership of this Committee and the deputies of this county who lately attended the Provincial Convention , `` These are therefore requiring the said Charles Gordon of the Braes that he appear before this Committee , at the house of Thomas Savin at the Head of Elk , to-morrow at two o'clock P.M. , to answer unto said complaints . `` Hereto fail not on your peril . `` JAMES RODOLPH , Chairman . `` To CHARLES GORDON of the Braes .
