Temptation on a Tower is a story by J. D. Hennessey. Hennessey was a British journalist and author based in Australia. Excerpt: "He learned everything quickly. It was his nature to learn. He had to; it came to him, both good and bad. The first he wished to know, the latter he could not avoid; it forced itself upon him, for he had knowledge of good and evil, as hath every child of genius. His schoolmaster took a great fancy to the boy; he was "out of Nazareth," for the fisherman's cottage was evidently not his natural home; and the thoughtful man of letters questioned with himself on many occasions as to the pros and cons of Malcolm's origin. "It is strange," he thought, "that this boy, named by his mysterious mother Malcolm Stewart, (for he had obtained from Nurse Sampson a fragmentary account of his birth, etc.) should be living in a fisherman's cottage under the shadow, as it were, of Stewart Towers."
