  “Where are they?” Alasdair moved closer to the door. He knew Isobel’s aunt from childhood. Clan MacNaughton and Clan MacCoinnich had been close on the Isle of Skye. Their lands bordered one another, long ago before the dreaded illness hit. If he could get Isobel’s aunt to remember him, mayhap she could convince Isobel to see him. “Are they near?”

  Madam Georgianna rose from the velvet sofa. “We promised Isobel our protection. That protection extends to her family. I shall intercede on your behalf and attempt to convince her to see you. Grant her some time, Monsieur Alasdair. As I said earlier, she has been through much. Give her the time and understanding she so badly needs at this time.”

  “Swear to me ye willna allow her to leave without my seeing her.” That was Alasdair’s greatest fear. If he did as Madam Georgianna suggested, he might never see Isobel again. She might slip out of his life once more.

  Madam Georgianna’s mouth tightened. After a nod in Fanny’s direction, she turned back to Alasdair. “I shall place her under the protection of the Friedrich brothers. It’s the least I can offer you after your handling of the rather delicate matter of Lord Dunfold for us.” She fluttered a hand in the air. “But I can promise no more.” Motioning for both Ian and Alasdair to exit the room, she held the door open. “I will do my best, Monsieur Alasdair. Now, return to your home. I shall send for you if she changes her mind.”

  “When,” Alasdair corrected. “When she changes her mind—because I promise ye, I’ll not be losing her again.”
