"Fisher Willie" he is called, for he loved to spend his time on the Firth, a scourge to the pirates there, and, if truth be told, a thorn in the side of neighbours, towards whom he was not well disposed. The daughter, in all the bloom of her youth, tall and slender, with golden hair and deep blue eyes, is the pride of the countryside. She is just homefrom a prolonged stay at the Court, where, though her fond father little knows it, her heart has been captured by the gay and debonair Patrick Home, the son of the Earl of Home. But there is trouble brewing here, for the two families have been bitter enemies since the days when a Home slew Sir William's grandfather in a fight on the Firth. And now enters the villain of the piece. The...
