hats why yesaid yemusttell me, butnotyour da? Becauseyeknew Ivekilled men before? His nephew nodded, searching Jamies facewith troubled, trusting eyes. Aye. Ithought Ithoughtyed know whatto do. Ah. Jamie drew a deep breath, and exchanged a glance with me. Well His shoulders braced and broadened, and I could see him accepttheburden Young Ian had laid down.Jamie recommends prayer for the moment, confession on the morrowand the comfort of his reassurance that Ian had no choice in thematter, and is not damned as a murderer. The process of healing continues with supper, and bed. The latter, however, is complicated byFergus, who has thoughtfully arranged with Madame Jeanne that Ian shall not be left to brood alone in bed. Horrified, Jamie is unable toprevent Ians retiring with a young prostitute; in resignation, he admits to Claire that in fact the best remedy for the soul-sickness of killing isoften to be found in a womans arms.Be that as it may, Jamie bustles his charge off to confession first thing in the morning, leaving Claire to reacquaint herself with Edinburgh,as she visits the apothecarys shop for fresh herbs. While there, she meets another customer, a Free Church minister named ArchibaldCampbell, whoupon learning of her experience as a healerbegs her to come and see his sister, who suffers from strange silences andfits.Miss Margaret Campbell does indeed have fits, staring and screamingand when not so engaged, lives peacefully in the past, before thetraumatic experience with English soldiers after Culloden that has deprived her of her wits. Claire is unable to offer more than nutrition andsedatives, but holds some hope that the Reverends intention to remove his sister to the Indies may make some difference in her condition.Returning to the brothel, Claire finds Jamie and Fergus deep in conference. There is a fallback arranged for the rendezvous with the Frenchsmuggling ship; the details are arranged by letter between Jamie and Jared, with the smugglers informed only just before each rendezvous,so the secret seems safe. Jamie reluctantly decides to take Claire and Ian with him, as it is necessary to take Ian home to Lallybroch. However,he adds sternly, they are not to come anywhere near the actual rendezvous, but instead to remain safely at the inn on the road above thebeach.This plan is scotched when they find upon arrival that the inn has burnt to the ground. Left to themselves on the cliffs, with strictinstructions to keep out of the way, Ian and Claire have a ringside seat as events below unfold. What unfolds, in fact, are excisemen, whohave lain hidden in the sand, awaiting the smugglers. In the resulting melee, Claire and Ian flee to the road, where Claire nearly runs intoanother pair of excisemen, these waiting to trap any fleeing smugglers.From the Customs officers conversation, its apparent that this was not only an arranged ambush, but one designed specifically to trapJamie Fraser. Claire steals away to warn Jamie, who has managed to escape and is giving his smugglers directions to fade quietly away totheir homes. Returning along the road, they find only one Customs officerhanging from a tree.With the print shop in ashes, dead excisemen at every turn, and the obvious fact that someoneand possibly more than one someoneisaware of Jamies multiple identities and his less-legal activities, a return to Edinburgh seems unwise. Jamie is not looking forward to a returnto Lallybroch, either, but it is necessary to take Young Ian home.For her part, Claire is wondering how she will be received by Jenny, the woman who was once her friend. The initial reception is strained,owing to Young Ians behavior, and his parents hurt at his apparent rejection of them in favor of his uncle. Jamie finds a way for both YoungIan and himself to make atonement, though, and the situation is resolved in warmth.Claire rejoices at waking next morning in a place that has been for her the closest thing to home. Rising in the cold to light the fire, though,she sees three ridersall womencoming toward the house.
