# The Tapestried Chamber, and Death of the Laird's Jock

By Walter Scott.

"The Tapestried Chamber, and Death of the Laird's Jock" by Walter Scott is a collection of two short stories published in 1828. In "The Tapestried Chamber," a distinguished general accepts an invitation to stay at an old castle, only to endure a terrifying nocturnal encounter that leaves him unnerved and desperate to flee. In "Death of the Laird's Jock," an aging Scottish warrior, famed for his prowess with a legendary two-handed sword, must pass his weapon to his son for one final border combat.
