Highland Love Song (DeWinter's Song 2) - Plot & Excerpts
It was so dark, and the cold was almost unendurable as the wind whipped up the falling snow and flung it in her face. She squeezed her eyes tightly shut, praying that her aunt had not been badly injured. She tried not to think about the poor coachman, or the missing outriders. At last the man halted his horse, and Arrian was handed down into other arms. She was assisted up the steep steps into a dimly lit hallway. A woman rushed forward and drew Arrian into a room where a warm fire was blazing. "Are you the mistress of this house?" Arrian asked, holding her trembling hands out to the fire. "Och, no," the woman said in accented English. "I'm only the housekeeper. Name's Edna Haddington. Your aunt told me her name and yours." Arrian was flooded with relief. "Then my aunt is all right?" "As ta that, I dinna, m'lady." "Please take me to her." "She's being tended. God love you, lass, you're near ta frozen. Sit you down by the fire and I'll serve you some nice hot tea and put a warming pan at your feet." Arrian looked at the white-haired woman who fussed about her with gentle concern.
