To the Reader
To the Reader, in Chapter 2 of "Worldly Ways and Byways," the author reflects on a past diplomatic custom known as the Pele Mele, a practice meant to resolve the constant disputes over precedence among courtiers and diplomats. This system, likely conceived by an overburdened Master of Ceremonies, sought to nullify rank and eliminate the usual formalities of social gatherings, creating an environment where one's position at an event was determined by wit or chance rather than status. The Pele Mele resulted…-

To Dare
To Dare, the political climate in South Carolina grew increasingly volatile in December 1860. A convention of 169 prominent figures, including former congressmen, governors, and senators, gathered in Columbia to address the growing issue of secession. These delegates, most of whom were wealthy slave owners, were deeply concerned about the national debate surrounding slavery and the election of Abraham Lincoln.

The Yarn of the Black Officer
The Yarn of the Black Officer begins with the echo of boots on stone and a name that stirs caution rather than reverence. The Black Officer, whose legend blends soldierly duty with dark mystique, first emerged during the 18th-century enlistment drives of the Black Watch. He moved through glens with a deceptive promise—that the men who followed him would merely march before the King in London. Instead, their destination was not ceremonial but colonial—India, far from home and riddled with conflict. The…-

Captain Foster, the chief engineer, observed the worsening situation and recorded it in his engineering journal, describing how Confederate artillery had begun using "hot shot," incendiary cannonballs designed to ignite structures inside the fort.
