The small rain down can rain Christ, if my love were in my arms And I in my bed again!" —Anonymous, early sixteenth century Clay shards lay scattered at his feet like the bits of his heart. William nudged at them with his toe and looked up. Archie and his kinsmen stared at him as if he had just committed a murder. In truth, he felt as if he had been slain himself. The dark wine at his feet spread out like lifeblood.
"She broke the jug between ye," Archie said. "I am nae fool. I know what it mea
...ns. I had a Romany wife, and a Romany wedding. What else has happened between ye? Speak, man, or die sitting there." Rabbie, when Archie spoke, put a hand to the hilt of his sheathed dirk.
William took a breath and looked at the ropes wound around his wrists. The sight of rope had always twisted his gut, choked his heart. The knots, his isolated seat in the center of the room, the men staring at him, the hole blown through the center of his being, all seemed familiar.
He had sat like this in another chamber years ago, bound, questioned, shattered numb after the loss of someone he loved.
