Rich people are the best. This book is one of my favorite. The way they talk, fight battles, and present their fortune to familiar heirs, the three ermines passant.
It’s true, these rich bastards have everything except experience, which can be purchased through officer entitlements in the King’s service, the dragoons.
You get caught in a double-cross, letters are forged with your wax cipher, stolen while on holiday in the Highlands by Donald Bean Lean.
Your good, rich name is sullied. You abandon your post with the regiment and enlist with rebel forces, The Highlanders.
You meet a Scottish Highland woman with dark hair, she plays the harp, she sings Gaelic proverbs, she has a spirit of rebellion your limey English fortune cannot buy.
She stands by her Scottish brother all the way to the gallows. You bag the Baron’s daughter in her stead, and purchase a sprawling estate in a smashing post war deal. It all goes off without a hitch. You escape back to your literature and poetry at Waverley-Honour with new, doting, wife.
Also, you are pardoned from being a rebel outlaw because you have money and a family name.
God bless the king and your heraldry.
Get back in your squad car and drive away.
Waverley by Sir Walter Scott
It takes a few chapters to get the rhythm of Sir Walter Scott’s cadence, but once you find your footing, the joy of the text is very surprising. The onboard dictionary was used frequently, the Latin is of extreme annoyance as I always feel like Sir Walter Scott is making fun of me, cause I don’t know WTF he is saying, like some goddamned vaccinated commie attorney/doctor dick sucking secret society BAR MD/magistrate.
