Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lovers a Romance
Along it, under the brief sunset glow of an October evening, two men went slowly together, and one walked sedately on legs as thin and long as a stork, while the other stumped with a stick and a timber toe, for his right leg, from the middle thigh downward, remained at Gibraltar when he returned from the memorable siege of that fortress, a hero.
And now, in the early years of the nineteenth century, his country was at grips with America and France and he could. Only look on, and bark, and wish he was young again.
