About this book

A crowded Madrid railway station sets the scene for rival affections and awkward family supervision. Katie Westlotorn greets the Englishman Ashby warmly, while her aunt, Mrs. Russell, accepts the assistance of Captain Lopez. The captain's jealousy and the aunt's disapproval give a northbound departure the tension of a social comedy. James De Mille's novel combines this lively opening with the dangers and confinement of an adventure set in Spain.

The later excerpt finds Ashby speaking passionately to Dolores in a dark room, praising her loyalty and pleading for another visit. She offers to show him a passage but warns him against using it to seek her out. These exchanges bring affection, suspicion and the risks of meeting again into the same conversation.
