"Edward has Bothwell Castle strongly garrisoned," Lynx reminded him.

"Aye, but they have other strongholds in Moray, Banff, Inverness, and Ross."

"Moray couldn't have escaped without help in high places."

Robert picked up a bucket of water and unceremoniously dumped it over Lynx. "Exactly!"

As Lynx dressed he studied Robert's dark features. Robert knew he would dispatch this information to John de Warenne. But Lynx wondered what Robert wasn't telling him. There were de Warenne spies out there, but obviously they were not as informed as the Bruce's.

In the hall at dinner, Lynx noticed the addition of music immediately. As well as bladderpipes, strolling musicians played harps and timbrels. Between courses, pages came around with finger bowls and towels.

"I see my sister Jory's fine hand in the improvements," Lynx said to Jane.

"Nay, my lord, you see my fine hand. I also told the steward to order us some silver forks. I understand the late queen introduced them to England, so I've decided to introduce them to Scotland."

Though his eyebrows elevated, Lynx managed to keep the amusement from his eyes. Lady Jane had begun to take her position seriously. Behind them, Thomas and Taffy vied with each other to fulfill her every wish, and she rewarded their efforts with a brilliant smile. Though Lynx made no comment, he was acutely aware of the competition for Jane's approval. It must be because she was his lady, so he decided to do nothing to discourage it.

His eyes were drawn again and again to Jane. In the fine white silk with her lovely red hair whispering about her hips, she was as attractive as any lady he had seen at court. After the meal he watched beneath hooded lids as men surrounded her. Not just the Bruces, but two of his knights, Sir Giles and Sir Harry, were dancing attendance on her as well.
