Excerpt from Traitor or Patriot?: A Tale of the Rye-House Plot
This story is for the part a romantic rendering of a very obscure episode in the story of the reign of Charles the Second. It does not pretend to more historical accuracy than belongs to other romances which are spun from a thread of fact on a spool of fiction, but it may be mentioned that the scenes and the actors are mostly real, and it should be remembered that the story of the Rye-house Plot(1683) as told in authentic records is strangely vague. That there was a plot - that the King's house at Newmarket was burnt, or at least that part of it containing the royal apartments was on fire - and that Charles escaped, are the certain points of the story. The details are left very much to imagination, and as fancy is free, "one story is good till another is told."
