The Highwayman's Curse (2012)
“Much praying happened that day, more even than I was accustomed to during my childhood. I had thought they would dress differently for church, but their attire seemed little different from usual. I think their hair was neatened and their faces were certainly cleaned. Indeed, I had seen Jeannie scrubbing Tam’s face with cold water straight from the well, and had heard Iona squealing as her long hair was tugged by a thick comb until it shone. She then wound it demurely into twists and hid it unde...r a cap. The men, however, looked little different, and still carried their weapons when they rode off to church.
Thomas read from the huge soft-covered Bible before they set off for their church, or kirk, as they called it. They stood as he read, and when he said a prayer, they did not kneel, which I wondered at. I had been about to kneel, but it seemed to me that I had better do what they did. He did not read the prayer from a prayer book, but seemed to speak from his heart.
