SHE HAD DISHONORED THE SABBATH "They had stripped her to the waist, and then for decency -- "their "decency! -- had thrown a jacket of coarse sacking over her, lacing it loosely in front with pack-thread. But, because their work required it, this garment had been gathered up into a rope at the neck, whence it dangled in folds over her young breast." "Faith never yet has burnt man or woman at the stake." "Religion has burnt its tens of thousands." This is the astonishing love story of Ruth and Oliver. From America of the mid-eighteenth century; to earthquake-ravaged Lisbon, Portugal; to England, their tormented romance flamed and burned. . . . Would his Lady Good-for-Nothing be vindicated. . . . Or suffer a shameful punishment? A lyrical and unusual novel of historical passion, originally published under the pseudonym Q by the editor of "The Oxford Book of Verse," the famous poet Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch.
