whom in Paris they called the Magnificent. Yet these events, although significant in their total, were of so vague and slight a nature in their detail, that when I come to write of them I find really little that I may set down.

Rodenard and his companions remained for two days at the chateau, and to me his sojourn there was a source of perpetual anxiety, for I knew not how far the fool might see fit to prolong it. It was well for me that this anxiety of mine was shared by Monsieur de Lavedan, who disliked at such a time the presence of men attached to one who was so notoriously of the King's party. He came at last to consult me as to what measures might be taken to remove them, and I—nothing loath to conspire with him to so desirable end—bade him suggest to Rodenard that perhaps evil had befallen Monsieur de Bardelys, and that, instead of wasting his time at Lavedan, he were better advised to be searching the province for his master.

This counsel the Vicomte adopted, and with such excellent results that that very day—within the hour, in fact—Ganymede, aroused to a sense of his proper duty, set out in quest of me, not a little disturbed in mind—for with all his shortcomings the rascal loved me very faithfully.

That was on the third day of my sojourn at Lavedan. On the morrow I rose, my foot being sufficiently recovered to permit it. I felt a little weak from loss of blood, but Anatole—who, for all his evil countenance, was a kindly and gentle—servant was confident that a few days—a week at most—would see me completely restored.

This is the first novel by Sabatini that I had read. It was fun to read. I had visions of 1930s films flashing through my mind while reading it. It is overblown, but it is fun to read. A typical swashbuckling adventure of its time.

Considering how much appeal I find in historical adventure stories, whether THE THREE MUSKETEERS, THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO, BEAU GESTE, or others of that sort, and how deeply I enjoy the films made from the works of Rafael Sabatini (THE SEA HAWK, CAPTAIN BLOOD, etc.), somehow I'd never gotten aroun

I think I want to review this in a little more depth later, but for now suffice it to say I was pleasantly surprised how well this little swashbuckler stood up to a re-read! It's right up there with the likes of The Prisoner of Zenda and Captain Blood. Ev

An amazing swashbuckling adventure that has it all: romance, political intrigue, sword fights, and an instantly admirable hero. Just what you'd expect in a Sabatini novel. Very highly recommended.

This man is CRIMINALLY underrated!
