Bond of Passion
“He signaled to his servants to bring wine. It was poured into the two silver cups that belonged to the lord and his wife, and five small round earthenware cups for their five children. Robert Baird raised his cup. “Let us toast your sister, Annabella, who is soon to be wed,” he said, enjoying the look of surprise on his daughters’ faces.
“To Annabella!” they all said, drinking deep from their cups.

Finally regaining her composure she asked, “Who am I to wed, Da?” Who indeed?
“You are to marry the Earl of Duin, Angus Ferguson.MoreLess
