The inns however, were still brightly lit and filled with all manner of travelers and men seeking the comforts of any available bar wench. Loud laughter and conversations spilled out into the streets as Findley and his group quietly passed by on horseback. They managed to find an inn with three available rooms. As they did in Renfrew, the men shared two rooms with the lads. Findley and Maggy would again pretend to be husband and wife, and share the remaining room. Maggy wished she were not wearing the cap and veil the boys had given her, so that she could wrap her shawl around her face to better conceal herself. It was a very uncomfortable feeling walking through the inn, her face so exposed. She could feel the many eyes upon her as she walked alongside Findley, his hand holding firmly to hers. She kept her eyes cast down and prayed no one would recognize her as they trudged through the crowd and up the stairs to their rooms. She had come too far to be found out now. It wasn’t until Findley closed the door behind them that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
