About
Julia suspects that her lover, Sir George Sloane, is responsible for her abduction when he receives a mysterious note. Sloane meets with treachery, sword-and-pistol fighting, and other dramas while he tries to prove his innocence. The high spirit of the captive only adds to his challenge. A tale which is full of old-world romance and adventure. It has a strong flavor of the under life in England when George the Third was young, when sign-posts served also as gibbets, when travel was by coach and highwaymen were many, when men drank deep and played high. There are plenty of stirring scenes along the way, plenty of treachery and fighting at cross-purposes which lead to intricate and dramatic situations. The heroine's charms recall Mlle. de Cocheforet in Under the Red Robe, and she proves herself a maid of spirit through all the mishaps which befall her.
