Julie Mackay said, “How have you not gone nuts? Also, the smell. Oh! Tom Stone sent some incense sticks, they should help. A bit.”
Lennox could see her point. The Tolbooth was none of your fancy residences, but with the Mackay money and a daily visit from the servants, Colonel Alexander’s cell was comfortable enough. He had books, and good food brought him from the kitchens, and coal and lamp-oil for the nights. None of this did much for the stench; the chamber pots were emptied into a hole at
...the bottom of one of the stairwells. In theory they drained. In practice, they…fermented. “You’ve nae stirred fra’ this room?”
“Oh, I’ve a wander about the corridors when I’ve a mind,” Alex said, shrugging and sinking back down on the chair he’d been brought the day he’d arrived here. Julie sank down in his lap, a heartwarming sight. “But aye, bored. Black, mortal bored, Major Andrew, old friend. What brings ye t’ visit me in durance vile?”
“Well, I had a wee chat with Montrose and Campbell, as your father suggested, and as Lady Julie was minded to visit I felt I should mak’ ma report in person.”
