A Scandalous Scot
“The MacCraig eagle was embroidered on the cushions of the crimson upholstered dining chairs. A rectangular rug covered most of the floor, its background loomed in the same deep red, the pattern one of thistles surrounding the MacCraig clan crest.

Aleck, the footman, stood behind the chair at the head of the table.MoreLess
