find yourself in such a position as the one you
spoke of—if you should come to such a strait
as that—if a little help could make you free, you
will come to me as if I were your brother. Your
eyes are so like Diane’s—you might well be hers.”
Archie stood before him, dumb, as James held
out his hand.
He grasped it for a moment, and then turned
from him in a tumult of horror and despair.

| Description | Violet Jacob (1863-1946) was born into an aristocratic family who had lived at the House of Dun near Montrose since the 15th century. Her classic novel of the 1745 Jacobite rising, 'Flemington” (1911), was highly regarded by John Buchan and is still in print. Jacob had a deep appreciation of the Angus dialect and countryside, and this is evident in her celebrated Scots language poetry in volumes such as 'Song of Angus' (1915). |
