Dunwythie Mains, Annandale, 8 March 1375
Peering through new green foliage into a large field that the surrounding
woodland sheltered from winds that could roar up the dale from Solway
Firth, Will Jardine said, “What if Dunwythie catches us here?”
“He won’t,” twenty-five-year-old Robert Maxwell, Laird of Trailinghail,
replied as they dismounted in the dense woods. “My lads saw his lordship
ride north with ten men just after dawn.” Looping his reins over a handy
branch, he added, “He will be gone till at least midday, Will. And we have
every right to be here.”

The younger man’s eyebrows shot upward. “Have we?” he said dryly.
“Most Annandale folk would dispute that, including me own da, were ye
daft enough to put your brother’s impertinent demands to him.”
“Alex’s demands are hardly impertinent, since he is Sheriff of
Dumfries.”
“Aye, but only o’ Dumfries,” Will retorted. “Nae one here in Annandale
heeds or needs the man, least of all Lord Dunwythie.”
Unable to deny Annandale’s defiance or Dunwythie’s, Rob kept silent.
He was watching where he put his feet as he and Will strode across the field
toward a dozen or so men working on the far side. It would not do to give
the recalcitrant Dunwythie more cause for complaint by trampling his
tender young shoots.
“God bethankit for His gifts!” Will exclaimed. “What d’ye think can ha’
brought the two o’ them here?”
Rob looked up.
Emerging from woods north of them onto a narrow path down the center
of the field were two riders. Although they were nearly a quarter mile away,
their gowns, fur-lined cloaks, and fluttering white veils proclaimed them
noblewomen. Their figures and their supple dexterity with their horses
declared them youthful.
As they drew nearer, Rob saw that one was so fair that her hair looked
white against her dark green cloak. The other was dark-haired, and both
wore their hair in long plaits that bobbed enticingly on their breasts as they
rode. They were watching the workers, and he was sure neither had yet
realized that he and Will—in their leather breeks, jacks, and boots—were
not simply two more of them.
A few puffy white clouds floated overhead but did little to block the sun.
Its light glistened on the dewy green field and gilded the fair rider’s plaits.
“I’m glad I came with ye,” Will murmured with a wicked gleam in his
eyes.
“They are noblewomen, you lecherous ruffian.”
“Hoots, what noblewomen would ride alone here as those two are
doing?”
“Dunwythie’s daughters would do so on their father’s land, a mile from
his castle, amidst his own loyal workmen,” Rob said. “Behave yourself
now.”
“I’ve nae wish to frighten off such tasty morsels,” Will retorted,
chuckling.
