Where would she go? How could she go? What dangers might she face? Was she daft enough to think she could escape from Trailinghail? If he roused everyone in the castle at such an hour and began questioning them, he would create the very stir he had worked to avoid and would learn no more than that they all thought she had gone with him. When he looked into her room—as if she might magically have reappeared there—he saw from its extreme tidiness why Fin Walters or others who had looked in had assumed that she was with him. Especially as Annie had apparently not come that day. Had Mairi purposely told her to stay with her mother? Only as he was about to return to the gate to question the guards again did he recall bringing her in through the cave entrance. Chills swept through him at the thought. If she had remembered how to find the cave door and managed to get outside the cavern, could she have been mad enough to try to swim or otherwise try to reach Kirkcudbright?
