Highland Fire (Guardians of the Stone)
“Herds of boys, gnawing on legs of lamb, chased after giggling girls, who wagged their tails, despite that they hardly understood what it meant to do so. Lìli was mindful she did not do the same, for she knew very well that her flirtations would be answered for sooner rather than later.

The mood, unlike the night before, was festive, though as soon as Una appeared a hush fell over the ...gathering. She brought Lìli and Aidan both wooden tankards filled with uisge, and then holding her own cup high, she gave them each a toast in a voice as ancient and rugged as the Highland hills.

The scent of the uisge burned her nostrils, but she tipped the glass back for the good of Scotland and to the health of her son.MoreLess
