Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from By Celia's Arbour, Vol. 2 of 3: A Tale of Portsmouth Town
I knew when he met me, the day after Celia's birthday, and told me that the time was coming what he meant. I, like himself, was to be a'victim to the Holy Cause. 'i was a hunchback, a man of peace, even a Protestant. That did not matter. I bore an historic name, and I was to give the cause the weight of my name as well as the slender sup port of my person. And, as I have no desire to pose as a hero, I may at once confess that I felt at first little enthusiasm for the work, and regarded my possible future with feelings of unworthy re luctance.
