Credit Ruined by Mystics in India and Scottish Estates
An officer, a young baronet in India, borrows heavily from native lenders. A thaumaturgic pundit warns creditors that his uncle is alive abroad, causing debts to spiral and forcing him to seek loans in London. He resigns from the army amid tenantry rumors and a lack of resolution. The piece then surveys estates of second sons in Scotland, detailing Cromlix and Innerpeffray under the Hay and Drummond connections, and recounts a dramatized marriage claim involving Sir James Chisholm and Helen of Ardach.
