“Ye cannae have her.”

“Stand aside lass. She goes with me.”

“Nay, ye cannae take her, I will not allow it.”

He carefully slipped Kannak through the bedchamber doorway and waited for Stefan to open the door to the outside. “‘Twill be a harsh winter and Kannak will spend it in the village where I can see that she lives.”

“The whole winter?”

Once he got Kannak out the door, he handed her to Stefan and mounted his horse. Then he opened his arms, waited for Stefan to give him the girl and made sure she was completely wrapped up. “There be an empty cottage now that the elder Andrew has passed. Ye are welcome to come or stay as ye please, Jirvel.”

Jirvel stood in the doorway with tears in her eyes, “What right have ye to…”

“I am yer laird and I command it. She belongs to me…” he quickly glanced at Stefan, “just as all the children do. Ye will do as I say, Jirvel.” With that, he turned his horse around, nudged the horse’s flanks and took Kannak away.

Stefan was pleased though he did not let on. Instead, he opened his arms and let his adopted mother cry on his shoulder. “Macoran did the right thing. Ye said yerself we are out of the medicine for headaches and fevers. It would take too long for me to fetch more and return. Gather yer things and follow them. I will see that the fire be put out, take the cow to William and ask him to come for the chickens when he can. Then I will come.”
