Works, including the Waverley novels and the poems . the road to Edinburgh, though the pallid visages of someof the troop betrayed that they had spent a night ofsleepless debauchery. They halted at Linlithgow, dis-tinguished by its ancient palace, which Sixty YearsSince was entire and habitable, and whose venerableruins, not quite Sixty Years Since, very narrowly escapedthe unworthy fate of being converted into a barrack forFrench prisoners.
