was indeed in dilapidated condition, having lost an
arm, and suffering from other wounds. He had been retained a prisoner
by the Imperialists only until he was cured, when they had freed him in
exchange for an Imperial officer who had been captured by the Swedes.

Thekla's dowry enabled her husband largely to increase his estates. A
new and handsome mansion was erected at a short distance from the old
castle, and here Malcolm Graheme lived quietly for very many years with
his beautiful wife, and saw a numerous progeny rise around them.

To the gratification of both, five years after her coming to Scotland,
the Countess of Mansfeld married Nigel Graheme and the pair took up
their abode in the old castle, which was thoroughly repaired and set in
order by Malcolm for their use, while he and Thekla insisted that the
fortune he had received as a dowry with his wife should be shared by the
countess and Nigel.
