The Ingenious Patriot

by LovelyMay — The Ingenious Patriot was no common citizen; he was a man of clever contradictions and keen timing, one who knew how to dress his ambition in patriotic robes. He requested a private audience with the King, claiming to possess a secret that could both preserve and endanger the kingdom. What he unveiled first was a type of armor so resilient it could withstand the most powerful artillery. According to him, no cannon ever built could breach it, and outfitting the royal fleet with such plating would render it…

The Huntsman

by LovelyMay — The Huntsman opens beneath a scorching sky, where the heat clings to every surface, and not even a whisper of breeze disturbs the forest edge. Yegor Vlassitch walks with a leisurely stride, dressed in a worn red shirt and patched trousers, his rifle slung across one shoulder. His presence, however casual, holds a weight that disturbs the stillness. From a nearby thicket, Pelagea appears—her frame slight, her face flushed from labor, and her voice timid but tinged with longing. Their meeting feels more…

The Double Alibi

by LovelyMay — The Double Alibi takes shape in a remote glen, where the land lies mostly forgotten by travelers and the silence carries the weight of untold stories. In this untouched corner of Western Galloway, solitude is not just present—it is total. The narrator, drawn there not for trout or company but for peace to work on a manuscript, finds solace in the shepherd’s house. With modest comforts and meager fishing prospects, the setting suits a soul in search of distance from a chaotic world. Amid the quiet,…

The Confessions of a Duffer

by LovelyMay — The Confessions of a Duffer begins not with triumph but with cheerful resignation. The narrator, utterly lacking in angling finesse, accepts his place at the bottom of the fishing hierarchy with both humor and honesty. Unlike those who cast with precision or boast of trophy catches, he stumbles through rivers and mishandles his gear with an almost admirable consistency. His flies are stored not in tidy cases but in whatever book or pocket happens to be nearby. Essential tools are always forgotten, often…

The Bloody Doctor

by LovelyMay — The Bloody Doctor begins with a recollection as sharp as the breeze skimming the loch’s surface—where triumph is rare, but every cast carries hope. The narrator revisits Clearburn Loch, a rugged haven where trout still thrive despite dwindling populations elsewhere. The loch, distant and unforgiving, holds a charm stronger than logic. It’s not the ease of the catch that draws anglers, but the purity of the challenge. Even on days when lines come back empty, the promise of wild fish gliding under…

Rochefoucauld

by LovelyMay — Rochefoucauld stands as one of literature’s sharpest critics of human behavior, wielding his pen like a scalpel to dissect motives and strip sentiment to its skeleton. Writing to Lady Violet Lebas, the author offers an appreciation of the elegance in Rochefoucauld’s prose but raises concern over the bleakness of his conclusions. The maxims, while brilliantly phrased, often cast suspicion on kindness, suggesting it stems not from generosity but from vanity or fear. This persistent reduction of all human…

Preface

by LovelyMay — Preface introduces the life and spirit of Saint Stanislaus Kostka not with dry reverence, but with energetic admiration. William T. Kane speaks not only to theologians or scholars but to anyone willing to consider that sanctity can take root even in the heart of youth. Unlike those who see holiness as the slow work of old age and suffering, Kane boldly defends the idea that a teenager—filled with life, energy, and clarity of purpose—can reach extraordinary spiritual heights. He acknowledges the rarity…
