“You will not remain the night?” Owein asked hospitably.

“Nay, my lord, but thank you,” Logan said. “There is a fine border moon coming that will guide us home.”

Owein and Rosamund watched the three Scots ride off. The bride had to admit, if only to herself, that she was relieved to have seen the last of the Hepburn of Claven’s Carn. He fascinated her in a rather wicked way, but she would tell no one of her secret thoughts. Not even Owein. She had a good man for a husband, and she was going to love him.

They stood silent for a time, watching the sunset over the hills to their west. Then hand in hand they reentered the manor’s hall. There were candles lit as usual, and the fire burned brightly, taking the chill off the evening, which after the unusually warm day had turned cool. Together Rosamund and Owein sat before the hearth on a small cushioned settle. A lute lay by his feet, and Owein picked it up and began to sing to his bride in his clear Welsh tenor. She was both surprised and charmed, for she had never heard him sing or play before; nor had she ever realized that he could.
