E-text prepared by the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Ensign Knightley and Other Stories" by A. E. W. Mason is a collection of narratives crafted during the early 20th century. The opening story, "Ensign Knightley," introduces us to a tense moment in Tangier during the late 17th century, featuring the character Ensign Knightley, who returns from captivity and faces both suspicion and unresolved tensions among his fellow officers regarding his past. At the start of the collection, readers meet Surgeon Wyley, who arrives at the Main-Guard to find Major Shackleton and several officers preoccupied with their games and fears of an impending Moorish attack. The introduction of Knightley, back from two years of slavery, stirs complex emotions, particularly between him and Captain Scrope, hinting at a past duel over Knightley's wife, further complicated by Wyley's probing into this history. As Knightley navigates his welcome and confronts the shadows of his past, the narrative unfolds a web of honor, betrayal, and the haunting weight of memory. The chapter sets a compelling stage for exploration of themes of loyalty, courage, and the impact of unaddressed conflicts.
