    Duncan stood next to Joanna in his suit and leather shoes, his presence quietlymanding. He remained silent, never contradicting whatever she said.


    Norah noticed the look in Duncan’s eyes. She recalled how, back in Bellfolk, he had followed Joanna in the same manner, watching over her with silent, affectionate vignce.
