DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Fair Maid of Perth, or Saint Valentine's Day Two features of the story of this barrier-battle on the Inch of Perth, the flight of one of the appointed champions, and the reckless heroism of a townsman, that voluntarily Offered for a small piece of coin to supply his place in the mortal encounter, suggested the imaginary persons, on whom much of the novel is expended. The fugitive Celt might have been easily dealt with, had a ludicrous style of colouring been adopted; but it appeared to the author that there would be more of novelty, as well as of serious interest, if he could succeed in gaining for him some thing Of that sympathy which is incompatible with the total absence of respect. Miss Baillie had drawn a coward by nature capable of acting as a hero under the strong impulse of filial affection. It seemed not impossible to conceive the case of one constitution ally weak Of nerve, being supported by feelings of honour and of jealousy up to a certain point, and then suddenly giving way, under circum stances to which the bravest heart could hardly refuse compassion.
