About the Book

Excerpt: ...if I will draw them no more. Most of all, I should like to be with you and in your service, and to know that I had a home in my old age." "That you will have whenever you come to claim it, MacIntosh, whether you accept my offer or not. However, I think that what you say is best, and that it would be well for you to think the matter well over and give me no answer until I return.

I bought a dozen of good wine, thinking that you might need it on the way, for some of these country auberges keep but poor stuff." "We are getting luxurious all at once," Hector laughed. "How about my armour?" "That is also packed up. I thought that you would not care to ride heavily accoutred." "Certainly not. Which of the horses do you take to be the best?"
