âYouâll do something about that little hoor, Mike Donovan, or Iâll scratch her eyes out and feed âem to the hogs!â
âIâll handle it, Anna.â
âIâll not be eased by smarm, mind! Do something or I will! My Davie canât seem to stay away from that sleeveen and Iâve a mind to throw in a pair of bollocks to sweeten the deal with yon pigs!â
Godâs teeth, Iâll kill that fecking Caitlin!
âSheâll not be bothering your Davie any more, Anna. I promise you. What you do with your husbandâs bollocks is entirely up to you.â
âAre ya being funny, Mike? Only maybe youâve developed a sense of humor on your travels that donât translate here.â Anna stood with her hands on her hips, the very picture of the irate wife.
âNot at all, Anna,â he said soothingly. âIâll take care of it, you can be sure.â
The woman snorted and stomped out of the cottage he used as an office. Fiona sat in a corner of the room, her feet up on a chair. She shook her head at him.
âDonât you have work to do?â he asked, irritated. âIs this what went on while I was gone? A bunch of layabouts and no work?â
âOh, Iâm pretty sure you donât want to go there, brother dear,â Fiona said, getting slowly to her feet. âI told you Caitlin was becoming a handful.â
âScrewing the other womenâs husbands in camp?â He shook his head in bafflement. âIs she just bored or barking? Or both?â
âI donât know, but it was well beyond Gavinâs ability to handle, thatâs for sure.â
âFine, Fi. I get it. Iâm back now. Iâll handle it.â
âHow? Are you going to put stocks in the center of camp? I hear that worked well in America in the seventeen hundreds. Oh, wait, no it didnât. How about stripping her and shaving her head? Although I have to say, our Caitlin is just perverse enough to enjoy the attention.â
âGood God, was she always like this?â
âYou mean when Ellen was alive?â Fiona softened her tone when she mentioned the name of Mikeâs dead wife. âI donât know. Might be we just didnât see it then.â
âWell, whatever, can you send her in to me? Do you know where she is?â Mike ran a frustrated hand through his hair and pushed aside the stack of maps on his desk. He had been trying to sort out where the existing pits and snares were located around the perimeter of camp to decide if more needed to be dug.
Gavin had earlier helpfully pointed out that there werenât enough men in the camp to man the ones they already had.
âAnd John, too? If you should happen to see him.â
Fiona stopped as she was moving toward the door. âIâll try.â
Mike glanced up in time to catch the sympathetic look she gave him. His homecoming had been everything he had expected it would be.
It hadnât been pretty.
John was one of the very first people to watch him ride into camp, and the look on his face when he saw Mike was one that Mike would take with him to his grave.
