Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Queen's Maries, Vol. 1: A Romance of Holyrood
It was a chill autumn night. Beyond the walls a rising breeze moaned fitfully over the dreary ?ats. The ebbing tide murmured as it receded, returning, and yet returning, as though loth to leave that com fortless expanse of wet level sand. A few drops Of rain fell from time to time, and though a star struggled out here and there, the sky became momentarily more obscured. It was a gloomy night out at sea yonder; it was a gloomy night here on shore, dismal, foreboding, and suggestive of Farewell.
