AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A despatch courier wounded in battle against Spanish guerillas is rescued and nursed to health by a mysteriously veiled woman. She rescues him from being immured and leads him through secret passages until she is killed by their pursuers and he sees the ruined beauty his captor had wreaked on her. Vague; atmospheric rather than clear narrative. (PB)
