Hunted And Harried is a classic tale of survival and redemption that will appeal to readers of all ages.The executioner was about to obey when a noise was heard at the door of the Council Chamber, and a cavalier, booted and spurred and splashed with mud, as if he had ridden fast and far, strode hastily up to the Duke and whispered in his ear. The effect of the whisper was striking, for an expression of mingled surprise, horror, and alarm overspread for a few moments even his hard visage. At the same time the Bishop of Galloway was observed to turn deadly pale, and an air of consternation generally marked the members of Council.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
