As Edmund walked into the South Hall, he thought about how fine the improvements were that Lord Hugh and his late wife had made. This room was a wonderful place for the meals. As the sun rose higher in the sky, the room warmed very comfortably, and the natural light displayed the three huge, brightly colored tapestries that hung above the two fireplaces at either end and on the long wall across from the line of windows.

Lady Campbell had been French, Edmund remembered, a noble lady of ancient royal blood, and she’d been a real civilizing influence in the life of Hugh Campbell. Edmund was given what had been the master’s bedroom in the older section of the castle, an honor befitting an old comrade at arms.

But he’d been quite surprised at the amount of comfort that the new section provided. The sheer number of bedchambers was incredible. When he’d been the Campbell’s guest thirty years before, guests had all slept in the Great Hall, as was still the custom in most of the great castles to this day. But Edmund really enjoyed the luxury of the great feather bed he’d been given.

Once the bairn’s safety was assured, Edmund thought, maybe it would be time to settle down and make some improvements to his own holding. Celia, as well, would really enjoy a project like that over the decadence of court life. But by then, with any luck, maybe she’d have projects of her own.

Colin Campbell was everything Edmund had expected him to be, and more. His knowledge of modern warfare was impressive, but his strong opinions about the Stewart kings’ role in Scotland’s future surprised him. Traditionally, the clan leaders in the west had taken every opportunity to oppose the Stewart kings. The Highlander’s independence was legendary. But this difference of loyalty to a unified Scotland certainly made Colin a standout among the Western and Highland leaders. Edmund wondered whether the earl of Huntly knew of this ally in the Stewart cause.

As Edmund listened, he was pleased to see how much of the father had been passed on to the son.
