Summary "Arthur Blane; or, The Hundred Cuirassiers" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The tale revolves around the adventures of a young Scottish gentleman named Arthur Blane who finds himself in the tumultuous environment of 17th century France, particularly in Paris. The narrative explores themes of honor, love, and the intrigue of court life, as Arthur seeks military service and attempts to navigate both personal and political challenges in a foreign land. The opening of the novel introduces Arthur Blane as he navigates the dark and twisted streets of Paris after arriving from Scotland, which he left under dire circumstances due to his family's downfall. Lost and confronted by challenges, including an encounter with two aggressive gallants, Arthur's bravery shines when he protects a masked woman, sparking a series of events that lead him into a deeper involvement with the French court. He soon meets Clara d'Ische, the Countess d'Amboise, who becomes crucial to his ambitions, as she recognizes his potential in the Scottish Guard, leading to an intricate web of romance and political intrigue in the subsequent chapters.
