Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"The Pavilion on the Links" is a short story written by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in two parts in the September/October issues of The Cornhill Magazine in 1880. A revised version was included in Stevenson's short story collection New Arabian Nights (1882).On his deathbed, Scotsman Frank Cassilis reveals his deepest, darkest secret to his childrennote At least in the 1880 magazine version. In the more well-known New Arabian Nights version, he speaks to a general audience: How he met their mother (no, not that one).After spending nine years as a wealthy vagabond, young Cassilis decides to visit his college acquaintance R. Northmour, who resides in the eponymous pavilion on the Scottish coast. To his surprise, the reclusive Northmour hosts guests - an elderly man and a young woman. After spying on the group for some days, Cassilis reveals himself to the young woman, Clara Huddlestone, who explains that Northmour is hiding her father from a group of mysterious and deadly pursuers in exchange for her hand. Naturally, Cassilis also falls in love with her. The two men vie for Clara's hand, while the danger draws ever nearer...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Notable for having a prominent fan in Arthur Conan Doyle, who considered it "the high-water mark of [Stevenson’s] genius" and "the first short story in the world".

Combat Pragmatist: With the group holed up in the Pavilion of the title and well-armed, the Carbonari don't bother to make a frontal assault, but just set fire to the building.

Code of Honour: The Carbonari, while determined to kill Huddlestone, offer to let Clara and the two young men go. Even after this offer is rejected, they refrain from killing anyone else after Huddlestone is dead. Northmour comments on their honourable ways, expressing the wish to join them.
