| 520 | _a"The Crimson Sign" by S. R. Keightley is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Gervase Orme, a young lieutenant in Mountjoy's Regiment of Foot, as he navigates the tumultuous landscape of Ireland during the unrest of 1689. The story explores themes of loyalty, bravery, and the complexity of civil war, putting Gervase in perilous situations that test his character and convictions. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Captain Ninian Macpherson, an experienced soldier, who awaits the arrival of Gervase Orme. They discuss the dire state of affairs in Londonderry, and Gervase's eagerness to serve in battle. The narrative then shifts to their early journey, revealing Gervase's youthful enthusiasm and idealism, contrasting sharply with Macpherson’s seasoned, cynical perspectives on war and loyalty. A skirmish ensues when they encounter enemy forces, leading Gervase to demonstrate his courage in combat, capture a fleeing foe, and confront the brutal realities of their situation. The scene is vivid and evocative, setting the tone for an adventure that is as much about personal growth as it is about the larger political struggle.
