Excerpt from Kynance Cove: On the Cornish Smugglers; A Tale of the Last Century The possibility of an entertaining and exciting, or even an amusing tale, being told about "Kynance Cove," will perhaps be ridiculed by many who may take up this little volume, and examine its title only. "It is true," they may say, "that 'Kynance Cove' is a very pretty place for a pic-nic, indeed it is the most romantic little Cove in the whole county of Cornwall, and, for the beauty of its variegated rocks and picturesque scenery, may well be called 'The Enamelled Court of Neptune.' But it looks so calm and serene while we sit at our pic-nic dinners - (it is only then that most people see it) - and everything around it seems so tranquil that no one could believe for a moment that any deed of horror had ever polluted or disturbed its quiet repose; and without that how could there be any sensational tale?"
