Excerpt from The Princess of Forge
It falls on me to open up the whole box of the Scotchman's deeds, since Of all who were involved I am the best informed.
From the beginning of the contest, I was at Forge; my hand more than once was raised in its forwarding; and round my person, it may be said, eddied and swirled and tossed the passions of Forge. Of these latter, then, this narrative will have much to do. Certain particulars it will not be pleasant to write, where the part I played was second best; but certain others, which rest on how I gave Checkmate now and again to one handsome gentleman, I shall relate with silent satisfaction.
