The Pirate Book 2 Chapter 20
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the tender entreaties of Brenda and Minna lead to a secret meeting beneath the ancient Standing Stones, where Minna encounters the wayward Cleveland with resolute sorrow and hopeful admonition; yet the ambush of pirates is thwarted by Mordaunt and his vigilant band, culminating in a fierce skirmish and the capture of the feared sea-robber. In the stillness afterward, the captives face their uncertain fate with mingled resignation and honour, while distant guns speak of a desperate naval engagement and the grim realities that attend the pirate’s doom.
