The Antiquary Volume II - Chapter Fourth

from The Walter Scott Library · host Sir Walter Scott

In which the stormy night and ruined priory provide a fitting scene for the uneasy alliance between the cunning mendicant Edie Ochiltree and the enigmatic foreigner Dousterswivel as they seek a hidden treasure beneath sacred ground, their task fraught with suspicion and spectral fears. The climax reveals a solemn burial rite attended by mysterious figures, casting an eerie light upon the unfolding drama and leaving Dousterswivel both bewitched and bewildered amid the shadows of ancient rites and mortal enmities.
