“ “To Althea, From Prison” Richard Lovelace, 1618-1657 This might not be the comfortable quarters in which he had spent the previous months of his exile, the Prince thought as he looked around his stone-walled, stone-floored cell. But at least he was no longer bound and gagged in the cave—the ice house, as one of his captors had called it—or wandering in the cold, wet woods, as he had until Flora had found him. He wrapped the plaid blanket closer around his shoulders, trembling at the though...t of those deceitful, dangerous betrayers who had promised their loyalty and allegiance to the man they called their Bonnie Prince, and then had viciously turned on him, revealing themselves for the pitiless mercenaries they were, willing to deliver him for the price that was on his head. He had managed to escape only when one had fallen into a drunken slumber. Cold to the bone and trembling at the confused memory of all that had happened to him since he had left the safety of Glamis Castle, the prince pulled his knees to his chin and leaned back against the stone wall of his cell.MoreLessRead More Read Less
