I am sad,' said the Bishop of Orkney to Lord James Stewart as the tables were gently drawn and the floor cleared and the candied ginger passed from place to place. 'I am sad because we live, you and I, on two sides of one river. And whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hart we both covet.'
'There is a remedy,' said the Queen's half-brother.
'Is there? I doubt it,' said Reid of Orkney. 'There might have been, in the past. But this hart is ten years too young, I fear, for his destiny.
