O for my ain king, quo gude Wallace,

The rightfu' king of fair Scotland.

Between me and my soverign blude

I think I see some ill seed sawn.

Wallace out over yon river he lap,

And he has lighted low down on yon plain,

And he was aware of a gay ladie,

As she was at the well washing.

What tydins, what tydins, fair lady, he says,

What tydins hast thou to tell unto me

What tydins, what tydins, fair lady, he says,

What tydins hae ye in the south Countrie

Though it was neither a mournful tune nor a slow lament, Hugh felt a stab of melancholy for his homeland. Not the Scotland of now but the Scotland of old.

The Scotland revisited in the company of these men.

As if she sensed his wistfulness, Claire slipped her hand into his and lay her head on his shoulder. She looked up at him with a question in her eyes. One that was easy to answer. While Hugh might feel some nostalgia for the time he was born, there was no time he’d rather be. No era better suited to him. No place he’d rather raise his child.

He was precisely where he was meant to be, and with whom he was meant to be with. Hugh could forgive Donell his methods because of his current happiness. Even if given the opportunity, he would never go back. Especially after Donell’s assurances regarding his family’s welfare.

Still, he had to wonder at Donell’s motives. This master plan of his which had been mulled over and questioned many times by them all these past weeks. If the birth of Laird and Scarlett’s child had been the plan of most concern to the old man, Hugh had to think he was part of it. The others concurred. The baby had been saved so Hugh might be born.

But what was he then? Another project? But what could be so important to Donell that he went through such troubles to make sure Hugh arrived safely in this time? To erase all history of Rosebraugh, his family, and the life he led before?

Were Scarlett’s worries the same?

Hugh usually excelled at puzzles of all sorts, but the potential endgame of this one left him baffled. His questions might never be answered.

Certainly not if Donell refused to make another appearance.
