Excerpt from The Gledstones and the Siege of Coklaw

Those who know nothing of archaeology are accustomed to characterise it as a dry, musty science, and to ridicule the antiquarian's love for what they are pleased to call old rubbish. The utilitarian can see nothing in the broken arch, the mined cloister, or the deserted ivy-mantled tower, save handy material for building a barn or a cottage; while to the antiquarian they are elo quent of the past, of the mail-clad warriors who rode forth under that crumbling archway, of monks and friars who paced these dim aisles as the deep.
