Book Excerpt: 
. . .It was easy for him to send a messenger to me, since Scotland trades with England, and a ship bound for London might well touch at one of our ports on the way down; but the presence of an Englishman, at Dunbar, would not be so readily explained. His messenger especially enjoined on me not to send any communication in writing, even by the most trustworthy hand; since an accident might precipitate matters, and drive him to take up arms, before we were in a position to give him aid. Therefore, in the first place, I wish you to journey to Dunbar, to see the earl, and deliver to him the message I shall give you, and endeavour to inform yourself how far he is to be trusted.

1400-1404 Owen Glendower is leading a Welsh uprising and defeating English attempts to subdue him while the English are also dealing with issues with Scotland.

Although it and all of the others of the Henty novels are satisfactory, I have noticed over this one the amount of "luck that befalls oswald.
