The Bandmaster McGilvray in a Quebec Prison
McGilvray, the bandmaster of Anstruther's regiment, is captured after crossing to speak with a French girl during the 1759 Quebec campaign. He endures days of captivity in a small wooden house as French troops debate his fate and trade tobacco for possible release. The tale ends with an introduction of a French girl who may unlock his escape.
