I thoroughly enjoyed this finely crafted short story which centers on Scott's repeated themes of chivalry and honor. Even though Scott was very patriotic, he was not a Jacobite and this story is just another example of his desire for Scotland and England to put their feuds in the past. The Scots terminology slowed the read a bit but I had my Scots dictionary at hand. I highly recommend this story.

I enjoyed the story. It was quite suspenseful even though I knew what would happen.
