Like my big brother before me, I wasn't ready to be tied to a desk Even if the desk was in a luxurious castle with maids and servants at my beck and call, it didn't sound fun. When the time came for my brother James to be assigned to the Lordship of a castle, he took a trip to No Man's Land and then across the ocean. Along the way he met a beautiful young lady and married her. He now has his castle, consorts, wife and children. I didn't know if I wanted any of those things yet. I'd decided that Davie Stephenson, the son of David and Alba, was going on a trip of his own.
