Memoirs of Jack Marvel and the Crown tavern fray at Oxford
The narrator, Jack Marvel, describes eavesdropping at the Crown tavern near Oxford as a dice game turns fatal. A lurking knife, a dog attack, and a street chase ignite a night of pursuit through the city, ending with Marvel fleeing toward West England with a king's letter in hand. He recalls meeting Captain Higgs, meeting Anthony Kilfirew, and planning a perilous crossing toward Abingdon and Worthing in a restless escape from university life.
