Highland Promise
““She must and she will. You may be the Laird, but I’m still your mother and I’ll be daft if I let ye tell me what to do about this. She stays and enjoys the comfort and safety of your protection.

“You’ll do what is best for the clan and yer family. She is English! Nay, not just English, but a real lady. What d...id you say her father was?”
“The father she has known all her life is a count and that makes little difference in this.” “She is in more danger here than she would be there. What possessed you to bring her here woman?
