Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... was upon the quick, and not the dead. Ruthven, a black, dangerous man--scolding-tongued, impious in mind, thinking in oaths--yes: but a man! Archie Douglas, supple as a snake, Fawdonsyde and his foolish pistols, she considered not at all; but her mind harped upon Ruthven and the King, who had each laid rough hands upon her--and thus, it seems, earned her approbation.
