Alasdair was not amused.

The wily sorceress had tricked him again. The prison she had chosen was an artful one, for there was but a single tiny window – and this secured so firmly that Alasdair could not even open it for a proper view of the world outside. The rain beat against it now with cold intensity.

And a lot of good that rain had done him in the end. ’Twas true enough that there was more space here than in the Micra, but Morgaine’s bed was just as inaccessible to him.

In foul temper, Alasdair surveyed his prison, intrigued despite himself by the water steaming in the tub. He toyed with it a bit, then resolved he might as well see himself clean.

That such a deed would please the sorceress was more than clear. Alasdair set his lips grimly and set to work, wondering how much else he would do to win Morgaine’s approval before this battle was won.

His prospects did not appear to be encouraging, that much was clear.

Perhaps ’twas time again to indulge in a few more appeals to the laird above. The idea was not all bad, and Alasdair raised his voice to sing a hymn that was his gran’s favorite.
