Highland Storms
“Like father, like son.’ Seton wandered over to where the minister was sitting enjoying a tankard of ale while he waited for his host to return.
Keil looked up, a wary expression in his eyes. ‘He appears friendly enough, but time will tell, I suppose.’ Seton noticed the minister was looking gaunt and haggard, as if he’d been having a tough time lately. There couldn’t be many of them left now, hunted as they were by the Redcoats. He guessed it was proving more difficult these days for a man like ...Keil to hide and find shelter. He’d had a hard time persuading the man to come back, which wasn’t to be wondered at. They’d exchanged some harsh words during the minister’s last visit to Rosyth and it was only by chance he’d heard the man was in the neighbourhood.
He watched Brice when he came back from changing out of his work clothes. The way he spoke to Keil indicated he had no idea he was harbouring a fugitive, which was just what Seton had hoped. Brice had obviously had it instilled in him that hospitality was one of his main duties as laird and he didn’t question the stranger too closely.MoreLess
