A narrator describes riders on white horses arriving at a towered city, dawn light over ancestral fortifications, and a patriotic call as soldiers move south. The piece blends romanticized war memory, shifting loyalties, and a poet’s homage to historic struggles.
Edwin Brothertoft, heir to the old Lincolnshire manor, departs amid debts and mortgages to seek fortune in New York.
