...Scotch warrior set upon destroying the clan of McLaglen instead of the invading English, is blown up by a keg of powder after having dallied with a shepherdess and field ignominiously from the scions of the hated clan. For this he is condemned by his father, the head of the clan of Glouer, to wander about the ancestral castle until he, Murdoch Glouer the ghost, can tweek the beak of a McLagen and force him to admit that any fifty of his clan can be thrashed with ease by a lone Glouer...

And with all my worldly goods I thee endow!" At the tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey that evening, a late-straying canon found a bouquet with a royal card: "From the Duchess of Gloucester."
