Author: Rafael Sabatini
Title: The Tavern Knight
Original publication date: 1904
First words: He whom they called the Tavern Knight laughed an evil laugh - such a laugh as might fall from the lips of Satan in a sardonic moment.
Last words: "Cynthia, my Cynthia!" he cried. And she, breaking past the barrier of his grasp, nestled up to him with a sigh of sweet and unalloyed content.
