The Pavilion On The Links
""The Pavilion on the Links"" is a short story written by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story is set in a remote coastal area of Scotland, where two friends, John and Charles, are out for a walk when they stumble upon a mysterious pavilion. The pavilion is occupied by a beautiful woman named Clara, who is being held captive by her cruel and abusive husband, Colonel Germain. John and Charles become determined to rescue Clara and help her escape from her husband's clutches. However, their plans are complicated by Germain's unexpected return and their own lack of experience in dealing with dangerous situations. The story is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and bravery, and is considered to be one of Stevenson's most popular works.The recollection of that afternoon will always be graven on my mind. Northmour and I were persuaded that an attack was imminent; and if it had been in our power to alter in any way the order of events, that power would have been used to precipitate rather than delay the critical moment. The worst was to be anticipated; yet we could conceive no extremity so miserable as the suspense we were now suffering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
