Excerpt from Beyond the Sunset: A Tale of Love and Pirate Gold

"Truly, thou art my very son, dear child, " said Colonel Chillingworth, resting the point of his blade upon the floor, and panting from his exertions. "Thou hast fair winded me, what with the vigor of thy arm and the cleverness of thy wrist. I have reared up a pupil who is better than her master."

His daughter laughed, and, fondling her rapier, nodded gaily when she saw that he was rested and ready to begin again. And so the shining blades flashed and sparkled once more, and made merry music which so entranced them that they did not hear the door when it opened, nor Algernon Sidney when he came softly into the room and stood quietly in the corner, watching them at play.
