Description
Robert Barr opens this collection of historical tales with one chapter. It is called The Beautiful Jailer of Gudenfels. A contents list promises more. A city of fear and the peril of the emperor lead off. A needle dagger and the Holy Fehm follow. Stories such as The Count's Apology appear too. The Long Ladder and The Warrior Maid of San Carlos close the heads.
The aged Emir Soldan sits in his tent. He smiles the crafty smile of an experienced man. He knows rebellion is brewing among his young commanders. They think him grown too old for the fray. Unbelievers have set foot on the sacred soil of Syria. The Emir has counselled coolness and prudence. He would not dash against the German leader. Impatience is breaking his camp apart. He gathers the young men to address them.
