Updated: May 5, 2025

I am writing to you from Lord Torphichen's. In this mansion, above my apartment, John Knox, the Scotch reformer, dispensed for the first time the Sacrament. Everything here furnishes matter for the imagination a park with hundred-year-old trees, precipices, walls of the castle in ruins, endless passages with numberless old ancestors there is even a certain Red-cowl which walks there at midnight.
