The Antiquary Volume I - Chapter Twenty-first

from The Walter Scott Library · host Sir Walter Scott

In which Lovel is led by the aged mendicant Edie Ochiltree through secret caverns and hidden stairways beneath the ancient abbey ruins, where the weight of past lives and whispered legends fill the air with solemn mystery. Therein, they witness a nocturnal scene of enchantment and imposture involving Sir Arthur Wardour and the treasure-seeker Dousterswivel, whose strange rites and promises offer a curious contrast to the rugged honesty of Edie’s reflections.
