Wee William's Woman, book Three of the Clan Macdougall Series
“The sun had risen hours before he and his brothers finally made their way back to the cottage. With chattering teeth and frozen skin, they rushed into the cottage and began wrapping themselves in blankets.
Nigel made several attempts at starting a fire. His hands were trembling so much so, that he could not hold the tallow steady. While Nigel battled with the tallow, Donald went to the cupboard in search of the bottle of whiskey. He nearly fell into the opening in the floor that led to the cellar.

He made his way around the opening in the floor and across the room to where Horace sat on the bed huddled under the blankets. Donald climbed onto the edge of the bed and held the bottle out.
