The Pride of Lions
“The mists were reluctant to leave the coves and inlets of the loch, and the forests rained dew for another full day before they, too, relinquished the dampness and began to steam dry. Catherine took long walks in the garden and along the shoreline. She ventured bravely into the woods with Deirdre and their shadow of silent guards to pick wild berries, and while there discovered a narrow stream that looped its way through the saplings, its waters flashing silver with salmon.She startled Aluinn M...acKail one morning by joining him unexpectedly in the courtyard and requesting to be allowed to accompany him on one of his rides. After a brief debate and a longer delay to arm a mounted escort, they rode up into the hills, where she was afforded a breathtaking overview of the castle, the loch, the seemingly endless rolling sweep of Highlands. Seeing the appreciation in her eyes, Aluinn told her some of the Cameron history. He pointed out the ruins of an ancient keep nearby and filled her imagination with stories of medieval battles and feuds.MoreLess
