In the fourth paragraph, Lockhart incorporates a marginal
note into the text. This is expanded and differs - namely,:

at the bridge there. The P. stoped at a gentlemans house near
Down, of the name of E----n, and drunk a glass of wine on
horseback, where the ladys &c. of the country were assembled

In the fifth paragraph Lockhart adds:"
soon
after passing Forth" and:"
and his followers,
which indeed we were in a most
."
