‘Well, well. Signs of life. Time and enough, too. That wife of yours has been gone too long.’
‘Angus…’
‘I know. It’s none of my business. You’re saying these women are at the gate now?’
‘Yes. I’ll go and let them in if it’s OK with you.’
‘You think they should be staying here?’
‘I think they should stay.’
Angus surveyed his doctor for long moment. ‘She’s cute?’ he demanded, and he seemed almost teasing.
‘Not Rory’s wife,’ Jake said stiffly. ‘I’ve only met—’
‘I know who you’d be talking about,’ Angus said testily. ‘Rory’s wife’s sister. She’s cute?’
‘Yes, but—’
‘And if she’s staying the night…You’ll be back in the morning.’
‘Yes, but—’
‘Let’s leave the buts,’ Angus said, and his lined face creased into mischief. ‘I’ll not be flying in the face of providence. Cute, eh? Well, well. Of course they can stay.’
