Note: In his note for the Rossetti Archive transcription of this story, PC Fleming writes: "This is one of several pieces in The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine for which the author is uncertain. The Wellesley Index attributes it to Burne-Jones, with the caveat that Mackail's manuscript notes attribute it to 'a professional writer got in by [the editor].' Both conclusions prove problematic ..."
Synopsis: "The frame story is a young man visiting France, who spends the night in a haunted cave, and dreams that he meets a Druid, who tells him a story about the Roman invasion under Caesar." —PC Fleming
