I didna call personally, I sent proper correspondence, Jamie interjected. I assure you, sir, it is an acceptable and effective form of communication in my occupation, and I think, in matters such as this, perhaps a better way of

The sudden and sharp sound of Christians palm slapping the table made Jamie jump in mid-sentence.

You did what? he breathed, his voice quivering with what Jamie instinctively knew was fury white-hot fury.

He nervously cleared his throat. I, ah, directed a letter to McKinnon informing him that I would be calling in a fortnight to discuss the particulars of his eviction and that Do you realize, Mr. Regis, that Fraser McKinnon is quite dead? Christian fairly shouted.

Now there was a new piece of information. McKinnon dead? A pity, that. The man had himself a bonny lass, indeed he did.

Had you bothered to look after Lord Rothembows investment, you might have known as much, Christian snapped.

That only put Jamies back up. Now see here, milord, youve no right to insult me! I have seen my business triple in the last two years, and I canna possibly be expected to hike up into some remote Highland glen to see if everyone is quite alive!

You certainly might have done so when no payment was made, sir!

Jamie did not appreciate the stab of guilt that brought him, and sat back, glowering.

The color seemed to bleed from his face; he gaped at Jamie, his gaze sharp enough to bore a hole clean through him, but Jamie had the distinct impression that Christian wasnt seeing him at all.

Dear God, he muttered. DEAR GOD! he bellowed and suddenly surged to his feet, disappearing through the door before Jamie could stand.

Jamie thought to go after him and tell him that he had prepared the necessary documents and had them delivered to the Bank of Scotland, but it was too late Christian had already disappeared into the crowded street.

While Jamie Regis was trying to sort out the confusing behavior of the Englishman, Thomas McKinnon was seeing to it that the belongings of the last pair to leave Glenbaden were securely fastened onto the old wagon that would carry them to Loch Eigg.

Aye, but this was a colossal mess Fraser had left for them, the bloody fool.

As he tightened the rope around a piece of luggage, Thomas watched Kerry walking slowly through the shorn barley field. He would curse Fraser to his dying day for putting this on her, but he could not help marveling at how she had shouldered the burden of her husbands deception for so long. Admired her, aye, but he was also angry with her for having kept it to herself.
