Contents

  • Left at home with her little sister while her parents are in attendance on the King and Queen at Oxford, Elizabeth Felthwaite longs to take part in the struggle against the Roundheads. Her opportunity speedily comes. Her brother arrives, bearing despatches to the King, but wounded and disabled. Elizabeth takes the despatches to Oxford, meeting many perils on the way, and the King sends her on another errand, this time to London. Here she is caught and imprisoned by a specially vindictive Roundhead. She escapes and is taken by Lionel Eccles, a Puritan officer about to return to the king’s side, to the house of Sir Timothy Mostyn. Both Lionel and Elizabeth are, however, in deadly peril, as he as a ‘recusant’, she an escaped prisoner, and it is only after many narrow escapes that they finally set sail for the New World, where we leave them in idyllic peace.
