Excerpt from Tales of the Pathfinders There also lived in England at this stirring time, a young man named Robert Macham, who in some way became acquainted with fair Anne and naturally fell in love with her. Men in high station seem to have had but two occupations in those gay days; going to the wars when there were wars, and paying delicate attentions to fair women in days of peace. As there happened to be war somewhere most of the time, there was generally enough fighting to be done. It hap pened that Robert, though deserving Anne's love which she gave him with all her heart, was not of a high and aristocratic family, and her friends deter mined that the two should never marry.

They arrested poor Robert, and put him in prison, whence he escaped, and not willing to give up his fair Anne without another effort, fol lowed her to Bristol, whither she had been carried, and there managed to gain opportunities to see her.
