The Courts of the Morning is a thriller novel by John Buchan.It is part of the series that began with The Thirty-Nine Steps, coming between the fourth novel, The Three Hostages, and the final novel, The Island of Sheep. Unlike the other novels in the series, it does not star Richard Hannay — he narrates the first few chapters, then bows out and leaves the adventure in the hands of his supporting cast. It does however feature most of the series' other recurring characters, and introduces two new characters who return in The Island of Sheep.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nearly every member of the recurring cast except Sir Richard and Lady Hannay (who for once successfully protest that they're retired and have a family to look after, and don't appear after the first few chapters) get involved in stopping a criminal mastermind plotting world domination in South America. The lead role is shared between Sandy Arbuthnot (introduced in Greenmantle) and Archie Roylance (introduced in Mr Standfast).

Age-Gap Romance: Sandy Arbuthnot and Barbara Dasent meet and fall in love when he's in his early forties, and she's twenty-four. They don't start a relationship until the last page of the novel, with the age gap being one of the factors that make both of them reluctant to admit their feelings. In the sequel, they're happily married.

Attempted Rape: The bad guys take Janet Roylance hostage after things start going against them. She's kept in a locked room at nights for her own protection, because the mooks are really not nice people and some of them have designs on her, and their leaders no longer have enough influence to keep them in line by word alone. One of the mooks manages to gain access to her room, but fortunately the heroes arrive to break her out in the nick of time.
