"Astonishing what a clean body, clean clothes, and a full belly can do for a mon," said Diarmot, leaning back against his plumped-up pillows while Geordie tidied the room.

Geordie nodded, paused to look at Diarmot, and scratched at the black-and-gray beard stubble upon his somewhat prominent chin. "What is a wonder is how a knock upon the head can bring back the memories stolen by a knock on the head."

"Aye." Diarmot grimaced. "Some, but nay all, nay yet. Still, I have some apologies to make, especially to my wife."

"Aye," Geordie agreed as he picked up the tray that had held Diarmot's meal and started out the door. " 'Tis a shame ye were near killed so soon after signing them papers and so lost a year with the lass."

Diarmot stared at the door as it shut behind Geordie. Although he had not been making any accusations, the man's words had abruptly stolen away the peace Diarmot had been feeling. He slumped against his pillows, suddenly all too aware of every one of his aches and pains. All of his doubts and fears had returned as well. He did not want to be suspicious of Ilsa, but that made him even more determined to be wary. Diarmot had trusted blindly before and it had cost him dearly. He would not do so again.
