Over the next couple of weeks, Holly settled into a routine. After what Greggor had said, she was determined not to cause any more trouble. Holly was going to try to be a good wife, and give living in this century a go. She would keep her opinions to herself, and not interfere in anything.

Holly got up when Duncan did so he could help her with her clothes, and together they went down for breakfast. Callam stayed away from her, and at dinner he sat next to his father and mother. Callam and Duncan seemed to have made up. Duncan’s jealousy stopped, and it was nice to start to feel comfortable at her new home…in some places.

After breakfast on the day after the fight, Duncan left with his men and Magan invited her to the solar with some of the women to sew and do embroidery. The first day, Holly had gone because she was unsure of her welcome if she went to the kitchen and tried to help again, after what she had said with Mary, Edna, Fiona, and Iris. She also hoped that if she could show everyone she was like Magan, they wouldn’t think she was trouble.

Holly learned that sewing wasn’t her thing, and the embroidery had bored her to tears. So she only spent her mornings in the solar, before she went to garden, then spent her late afternoons reading. The second day she went, she tried to talk to the younger women in the solar room, the two women closest to her age, but they gave short clipped answers. They snubbed her because they couldn’t believe a lady didn’t even know how to sew a button properly.

“How can you look after yer husband if ye dinna ken how to mend his clothes? What will happen when ye need decorative items for yer rooms? What about yer children? How will ye ken to help when he needs stitches after a battle?” They shook their heads. “I dinna ken why the laird keeps ye. Since ye have arrived, him and his brother have fought, and ye have openly rejected our ways.”

Holly didn’t know what to say. In her time, she’d never had to worry about any of that. There were shops for anything you needed, and you went to the doctor or hospital if you got hurt. She hadn’t wanted the brothers fighting, and Holly couldn’t help how she felt about their barbaric ways.

Magan had stuck up for Holly, but after those comments, only Magan and a few of the older women talked to her; the others weren’t interested in anything Holly had to say. She tried to engage them a couple more times, but the conversation never took off. After a couple of weeks of this treatment, Holly counted down the hours until she could be away from the women. Holly had never been so glad for nooning meal, because after that, she could be in the gardens, and then before evening meal Duncan gave her horse lessons.
