“Some episodes in the life of Viscount Rockhurst, a friend of King Charles II. and at one time constable of his majesty’s tower of London.” These episodes, although they do not form a consecutive story, all deal with the same reckless, daring cynic, loyal friend and devoted father. They tell of his fortunes, his misfortunes, his varied adventures, his struggles with the world and with himself, and all have as a background the strangely romantic court at which he played such a conspicuous part.
