By God's Grace
“The more Grant thought on it, the more he realized perhaps ”received” wasn’t the correct word. Duncan hadn’t wanted to pick out men for the mission, so he’d allowed them to decide who would go any way they chose.
First, it was mentioned they could draw sticks. Then it was suggested they could compete in a series of games, and the loser would escort Lyall. But in the end, it was recommended married men be allowed to remain at the Sinclair keep. This left Grant with the unpleasant task of tra...veling with Lyall and the unmarried Sinclairs. The reason had been the length of their journey, which was yet to be determined. No one wanted the married men separated from their wives for an indefinite amount of time.
As the senior unmarried member, Grant became the natural leader for the mission. When they started, Bryce jested how easy the mission would be. They had a band of twenty men to escort one woman, how hard could it be? They soon realized their mistake.MoreLess
