He still felt shame that he couldn’t make his wife happy. No matter what he did, it was never enough. The only thing that would have made her happy was for them to go to London, and that he could not do. It would have taken weeks, at least, and he couldn’t leave his people for that long and for something as foolish as traveling to London just so she could see it. Now he wondered if he should have.

To the outside world, it looked as if he couldn’t keep his wife under control; nor could he make her happy enough to stay, and that had made him bitter.

“She met an English soldier who promised her everything that I could no’,” he said. “They ran away to Edinburgh and boarded a ship to England. The ship ran into a fierce storm and everyone on board perished.”
