Synopsis

Beulah Marie Dix (1876-1970) was an American author, playwright, and screenwriter known for her historical novels and dramas. She wrote both fiction and non-fiction, often focusing on themes of loyalty, war, and moral dilemmas. Her early novels, like The Making of Christopher Ferringham, were well-regarded for their historical accuracy and strong character development. Dix later transitioned into screenwriting during Hollywood's silent film era, where she found success with films such as The Fighting Blade and The Unpardonable Sin. Her work remains a significant contribution to early 20th-century American literature and cinema.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Roundhead Cavalier CHAPTER I TIDINGS OUT OF THE NORTH Up in the tops of the tall elms that overshadowed the east wing of Everscombe manor house the ancient rooks were gravely wrangling. A faint morning breeze swept the green branches and, as the leaves stirred, the warm September sunlight smiting through fell in flakes of yellow on the dark flagstones of the terrace below. For a moment Hugh Gwyeth ceased to toss up and catch the ball in his hand, while he stood to count the yellow spots that shifted on the walk. Eight, nine, but other thoughts so filled his head that there he lost count and once more took up his listless tramp. Off to his left, where beyond the elms the lawn sloped down to the park, he could hear the calls of the boys at play, his Oldesworth cousins and Aunt Rachel Millington ssons. The Millingtons had come to Everscombe a week before out of Worcestershire, where the kings men were up in arms and had plundered their house.
