Dorothy Dunnett Quote
Lymond is back.It was known soon after the Sea-Catte reached Scotland from Campvere with an illicit cargo and a man she should not have carried.Lymond is in Scotland.It was said by busy men preparing for war against England, with contempt, with disgust; with a side-slipping look at one of their number. I hear the Lord Culter’s young brother is back. Only sometimes a woman’s voice would say it with a different note, and then laugh a little.
