Excerpt from The Romance of War, Vol. 3 of 3: Or the Highlanders in Spain

"Were not my right hand fetter"d by the thought,

That slaying thee were but a double guilt

In which to steep my soul, no bridegroom ever

Stepp"d forth to trip a measure with his bride

More joyfully than I, young man, would rush

To meet thy challenge." Macduff"s Cross, p.26.

Boiling with rage at Louis"s insulting defiance, Ronald returned to his quarters in the Alcanzar, determined at day-break to summon him forth, to fight or apologize. He often repeated the words, "Her heart has never wandered from you." Ah! if this should indeed be the case, and that Alice loved him after all!
