"But Lady Marjory-" Sandy began.

"Very well, Andrew, then that is quite enough I give you the order and I am responsible, and if you and Sandy do not choose to obey me, I shall call the men together myself and lead them without you."
As Sandy and Andrew were quite conscious that their lady would be as good as her word, they at once proceeded to carry her orders into effect.”
