Waverley Volume 2 Chapter LX - Chapterapter of Accidents

In which Edward, separated from his Highlander companions, finds refuge with a wary but kindly farmer and his daughter, whose simple hospitality offers him shelter amid the perils of a country occupied by hostile troops. As he journeys cautiously through a bleak and war-strewn landscape, his thoughts dwell on friendship, loss, and the sobering onset of a new and less romantic chapter in his life.
