We got up and walked half a mile up the track to where I'd left the car. There were two cars now. Lady Janet Gillam was there, carrying a sporting rifle, and so was Wee Jock Miller.

Jock said, 'She was going to come an' ask for ye at sunrise. I could'nae stop her. If she wasn't out in ten minutes, I was to go an' bring the fuzz.' Well, in Bonnie Scotland the police would have come looking for Lady Janet Gillam fast enough, but I wouldn't like to bet they'd have found her alive.

The Princess said, 'Hallo, Janet. Thanks for all the help.' There was a lot more in her voice than just the words.

Janet gave her a smile, a nice one, then looked at us both and said, 'Jock has showers at the garage. We'd best be moving.'

The Princess said, Til go with Jock,' and got in the E-type with him, leaving the Rover for Janet and me.

Janet said, 'Are you hurt under all that muck, Willie?' But her voice started shaking and she only just got it out. Then I saw some tears on her face. I was going to cuddle her up and tell her everything was all right, but I was coated in filth, so I stopped.

Janet said, her voice all up and down, 'Never mind the dirt, what the hell do you think she went on ahead for? We're not all made of teak and she could see I was going to cry, so hold me a wee while, Willie.'

So I did, which was the second time in about ten minutes. But I didn't tell Lady Janet that.
