Description
A Dash for a Throne, by Arthur Marchmont, was published in New York and London in 1899. Murray Smith drew the pictures. Marchmont had written By Right of Sword. Chapter one is called My Death. The narrator has been dead, in name, for near five years. He stands in the library of Gramberg Castle, watching a prince's daughter among the flower beds. A chance to change his dull life tempts him hard.
Contents promise treachery, abduction, and a palace ball. Munich, Landsberg, and an emperor enter the plot. News of Minna and a maid's story turn the middle. A late head cries: I am not the prince. Flight, pursuit, and an old enemy close the run. The tale is a brisk romance of courts and disguise.
