Excerpt from Major WeirThe tenth Muse (she of Fiction) is a damsel in whom many liberties must be overlooked. In none more does she require pardon than when she touches the otherwise immutable record of Time, pushing the needle on the dial-plate forward or back as suits her irresponsible character. That in this romance she has pushed the hand some years back as regards Major Weir's end, and has likewise chosen the Marquess of Montrose as temporary guardian of the key (which in sober history figured largely in the romantic wanderings of the Honours), are mis deeds for whch she can only cry M ea Culpa/ The actual tragedy of the Weirs gains, however, nothing from Fiction, the jarring reputation and character of the man himself, and the lurid impenitence of his end, raising endless psychological questions, perplexing by the accretions of tradition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
