Starting the fire was frustrating. Her fingers were cold and didn’t want to cooperate. She used a piece of sharp rock, the blade of her dirk, and a piece of her petticoat. It was almost dark by the time she managed a spark. The flame grew and she felt hope.

She threw wood on the fire and sat back.

Mr. Lynsted crawled up beside her, holding his hands out.

“Dawson all. M-money, c-clothes, everything.”

“I’ve been without money before,” she said. “We’ll survive.”

His jaw tightened with anger. “G-go to Inverness. We will.

Beforeuncleknowsdead.”

She didn’t like the way he slurred his words together and his chin rested on his chest as if his head was too heavy to hold up. Both were not good signs. She needed to keep him talking while she frantically tried to think what to do.

“How long do you think we have?”

“Two…four.” He swallowed. He hadn’t the strength to say the word “days,”

and Grace knew she couldn’t let him continue this way. He gave his head a sharp shake as if trying to clear his mind. “Dawson hasn’t c-come b-back with the coach?”

“No. I haven’t heard a sound.”

“H-he’s gone to my uncle. M-my uncle’s m-man.” He made a disgusted sound.

At least he hadn’t grown disoriented—yet.

Grace reached over and put her arms around him. He was shivering again.

Her fire wouldn’t be enough to warm him up, and she was growing cold herself.

“B-bloody f-fool,” he said.
