My Candidate For The Week
“It was the only way to silence you.”
She bristled with outrage.
“Silence
me? You took liberties with
my … my … my lips in order to silence
me? That was very impertinent of you,
Laird. I won’t allow you to do it again.”
He smiled and folded his arms over
his chest.
“Aye, you will.”
Her mouth gaped open in astonishment
and then worked up and down as
she struggled to speak.
“I assure you I
won’t.”
“I assure you that you will.”

His eyes narrowed. “First, the marriage
will take place. Just as soon as you’ve regained your senses and realize that tis the only sensible option left to you.”
When she would have opened her mouth
to dispute his assertion, he shocked her by clamping his hand over her mouth.
“You will be silent and allow me to finish. I have doubts that you’ve ever been able to hold your silence for more than a moment in your entire lifetime,” he grumbled.
She huffed but his hand tightened on her
mouth.
I can only assume that my son overheard
me speaking to my men of our marriage. If you would have but cautioned him to hold his tongue, he would not have repeated it beyond his question to you. But now, you’ve announced our marriage to the entire clan.
Some might even consider it a proposal. In which case, I accept.”
He finished with a grin and then stepped
back, releasing his hold on her mouth.
“Why … you …,” she sputtered. She worked
her mouth up and down but nothing would
come out.
A cheer went up from the crowd
assembled.
“A wedding!”

"King Solomon ordered a horse cut in half?" Magnus asked in a confused voice. "Who is King Solomon? He's not our king. I bet he’s English. 'Twould be a very English thing to do," Arthur said. Magnus nodded in agreement. "Aye, all English are daft." Then he turned to Mairin. "Be you English, lass?"'
