from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the travellers approach the ancient and partly ruinous castle of Avenel, a stronghold marked by its martial inhabitants and gloomy aspect, where the youth Halbert Glendinning and his companion prepare themselves to face the formidable, brooding Baron Julian Avenel. Within the hall, amidst armed retainers and sombre silence, Halbert observes a sorrowful lady whose quiet presence contrasts with the Baron's dark and restless demeanour, hinting at the unseen ties that bind them all.
