Kissing the Countess
“Seated on a sun-warmed boulder beside Evan, Catriona raised her glass with the others, who sat on blankets or on various boulders. After sharing the toast, they shared the luncheon packed for them, chatting among themselves while they ate an assortment of cold sandwiches, fruits, cheeses, and cakes, along with lemonade and wine, served on china with linens and glassware. Davey and Allan, the two gillies from Kildonan, had carried the baskets up the wooded slopes to the four-hundred-foot-high le...vel where the group now gathered.
Catriona set her glass down on a flat part of the rock she shared with Evan. The picnic site was located in a corrie halfway along one of the slopes of Beinn Eighe. The natural bowl, slightly tilted, was shadowed by the mountain to one side and bathed in sunlight to the other, the whole open to winds.
The corrie commanded a wide, pristine view of Glen Shee and the mountains on this silvery day. Jemima Murray had suggested stopping there for the picnic to admire the view and enjoy the fresh mountain breezes.MoreLess
