Behind her, A train of her dress and smiled at the attention bestowed upon her Duncan looked proud and a bit stern as he stood before Brother Malloy, who seemed anxious to unite the couple in front of hiers in an atte day and nothing was going to rush thisin his kilt She knew he owned one, and had even atteet it off of hi a ht had her hiding a grin He wore his plaid, as did his brother who stood at his side Even Ian bared his knees for everyone to see They were a proud lot ofherself with theers
