| Summary | "Ainslee's, Vol. 15, No. 6, July 1905" by Various is a periodical publication, likely from the early 20th century. This volume includes a mix of fictional narratives and poetry, featuring various authors and works that likely reflect societal norms, fashions, and issues of the time. The central piece, "A Gentleman of the Highways" by Kathryn Jarboe, prominently weaves themes of social class, love, and adventure against a historical backdrop infused with intrigue and humor. The beginning of "A Gentleman of the Highways" introduces readers to a lively tavern scene at The Jolly Grig, where the landlord, old Marmaduke, unknowingly serves a disguised young woman who engages him in a playful manner. As she feigns to be a gentleman of noble stature in the King's service, a discussion unfolds about an impending arrival of Lord Farquhart and his party, setting the stage for a collision of identities. The young woman’s spirited entrance and the tavern’s atmosphere create a whimsical tension, hinting at a larger narrative involving masquerades and courtly love that may develop as the story progresses. The tavern serves as a microcosm for exploring social dynamics and romantic entanglements, promising a delightful read for those enchanted by historical fiction.
