Chapter 41

As the Wolf reined Satan to a halt, Kara admitted one thing. She should never have said these words about the rope. Of course horses and her didn't exactly agree. So firstly, her hair had performed the miracle of standing on end, when she'd realized that not only did he expect her to mount Satan's back, with her hands tied behind her back,he suddenly wouldn't wait until she had. Thirdly, he'd then set off tugging Satan behind him, with her hanging over the saddle. But only after, secondly, arguing with Wee Murdie, again, about the logistics of it and leaving an old hen—Maisie—already daft as a glen brush apparently--with a bloody corpse on her doorstep, too.
