Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A King and a Few Dukes a Romance
I was sitting, as I say, on my veranda, cleaning the locks of my gun with a fist full of oily rags. The morning sun blazed in the heavens, sending splendid red lan ces of light straight through mountain notch over acres of dew-splashed bracken and glistening meadows.
A dainty spring shower had just passed across the valley, vanishing against the northern Caspian peaks in a double rain bow and a light peal of thunder; and I, anxious to be about my business, looked up into the sky for signs Of fairer weather.
