Forever Doon (2016)
“People assumed that because of my size I was brave. The MacCrae brothers were unstoppable, at least that’s what our kinsmen believed. And in Jamie’s case, it was true.
Whenever I faced an exploit that terrified me, like scaling the castle turret or repelling from a cliff, Jamie would say in a low voice meant only for my ear, “You’re no’ scairt. You’re Prince Duncan MacCrae.”
I would reply, “The valiant . . .”
To which, he would add, “The daring . . .”
And I would conclude, “The ...fearless . . .”
And then he would give me a shove toward whatever it was that was giving me pause and I would go and do it.
We stood at the base of a cliff, contemplating the obstacle separating us from the others—an almost vertical rock face. The ring’s guidance had unmistakably led to Armpit Cave. When Jamie and I had discovered the cavern as lads, we thought we were the only ones on earth who’d set foot in it.MoreLess
