The Master of Ballantrae
Authorship not stated
You are Henry Durie, the younger, dependable brother, as news that Prince Charles has landed splits your family at Durrisdeer: someone must ride for the rising, someone must stay and save the mortgaged estate. Your brother James forces the choice onto a coin toss instead of birth order, and you call the face that keeps you home while he rides off gallantly to war. As his horse disappears down the shore road, Alison finds the coin in her hand is not the one he threw.
