Ballad:Old Paul And Old Tim
Old Paul and Old Tim were two aging men set on capturing the affection of one young woman—Emily. Their rivalry was not marked by charm, wealth, or wit, for they stood level in almost every regard: both were bold, old, and rather indistinct. To Emily, neither man held much more promise than the other; they simply existed as options in a world where choices were slim and expectations were high. She was not particularly swayed by either, and her affections were more influenced by external opinions—namely,…-

However, the policeman’s surprising devotion to cranial analysis swiftly alters the path of justice. His belief that a man's skull shape can override eyewitness testimony exposes…-

How They Held the Bass for King James--1691-1693 recounts one of the boldest episodes in the Jacobite struggle, where four men, once prisoners on a lonely rock fortress in the Firth of Forth, turned captivity into rebellion. The Bass Rock, often used to imprison those loyal to the Covenant, had seen hymns echo off its cliffs as prisoners clung to faith within cold, damp stone. But in 1691, that somber silence was shattered when Halyburton, Middleton, Roy, and young Dunbar, imprisoned there under grim…
