And the Jacobite story was definitely an interesting find. I also remembered that she'd said she hadn't considered Jacobites as a topic until she got inspired by her trip to the Highlands, so this story (which is from the early 1900s) was a surprise! Unlike the pre-Sir Isumbras story, this one is not a word for word thing, but it's cool to see the bits from it that pop up later in her novels...
