Description
Osbert, Earl of Athlin, has been taken prisoner by Baron Malcolm, possessor of Dunbayne Castle. In his cell, he manages to undermine one of the walls, giving him access to several empty corridors, which he surveys. Hoping to escape, he finally arrives in a room where a lady and her daughter are present. They are the sister-in-law and niece of Baron Malcolm, who is holding them against their will in the castle, forbidding them to leave the enclosures.
