Al Haines "The 'Scots Brigade' and Other Tales" by James Grant is a collection of historical fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the Scots Brigade, a military unit in the service of the Dutch Republic, and particularly follows the personal and romantic struggles of young Lieutenant Lewie Baronald as he navigates his love for Dolores against the backdrop of political turmoil and familial opposition. The tension between duty, love, and personal ambition is a central theme throughout the stories. The opening of the tale introduces us to Lewie Baronald and his protective yet tyrannical uncle, General Kinloch. As Lewie attempts to express his passionate feelings for Dolores, the daughter of a countess, he faces his uncle's vehement disapproval based on his own past romantic disappointments. The General's determination to send Lewie on foreign service to prevent him from pursuing a relationship with Dolores creates a sense of urgency and conflict. Meanwhile, Dolores, unaware of the impending separation, reflects on their love and the potential impact of the political climate, including the looming threat of war between Britain and Holland, which may affect the Brigade’s future. As the narrative unfolds, we witness both the intricacies of courtship and the challenges of loyalty amid the specter of looming political strife and personal sacrifice.
