“Let's scope the place out," he suggested, heading around the side of the building, "and be careful in the bushes."
"Why?" Amy asked.
"This is South Africa, dude," Dan replied. "Where cobras come from. And not the hot ones, like Ian.”

“I'll sue!" Ian sputtered. "I'll sue you AND the dog. And the country of South Korea. And...and..."
"The landscape architect?" Natalie asked.
"The landscape architect!" Ian shouted.”

“We didn't stow away!" Dan protested. "You sunk our boat and pulled us out of the canal!"
"Good point," Ian agreed. "Return them to the canal. Roughly, please.”

“The boy smiled -- mostly at Amy.
"Sorry, her heart belongs to Ian Kabra," Dan said, except that something in her expression made him realize her heart didn't belong at all to Ian
right now.”

“And now, the waitress standing in front of them. She was beaming, as if Ian had just handed her a puppy with a Visa Black card in its mouth.
"Can I get you anything else?" she asked as she cleared their untouched plates. "It doesn't look like enjoyed your breakfast very much!"
"Just the bill, please."
She smiled. "Are you going sightseeing today? The first stop on the Freedom Trail is just around the corner. If you go ask Bob over there at the front desk, he can�"
"We have other plans," Ian interrupted.
"That's great! Anything fun?"
Natalie looked up at the waitress and gave her a fake smile. Except that on Natalie, it looked more demonic than cheerful. "Our mum's on trial for murder. Today's the verdict. But if it ends early, we'll be sure to pop by the Freedom Trail." The waitress's smile vanished.”

“Amy, since when do you have a boyfriend?”

“Atticus adjusted his glasses as he peered down at the blanket. “Hey, is that the book Nellie told us about?â€�
Jake’s eyes flicked to Olivia’s book. â€Ô¨´Ç³Ü’ve got it outside in the sun? Are you out of your minds?â€�
Amy crossed her arms. “We’re being careful.�
“It’s not about careful, this is a five-hundred-year-old manuscript! You should be wearing gloves—Atticus brought some—and keeping it out of the sunlight.�
“It didn’t take you long to start barking orders!� Any exclaimed, her face flushing. “But then you always know best, don’t you?�
“Somebody has to be mature in this situation,� Jake said, his gaze flashing at Ian, who was now intently trying to brush cookie crumbs off his pants.
“True. In that case, we’d rather consult your little brother,� Ian said with a smirk. “Medieval manuscripts are his field, am I right?�
“Technically, it’s early Renaissance,� Jake said.
“Thanks for the correction, my good man. Amy is right—you do know best.� Ian slipped his arm around Amy. “She’s so perceptive. One of the many things I adore about her.�
“It’s getting chilly. Why don’t we go inside?� Amy suggested brightly as she tried to step out of the circle of Ian’s arm.
Ian took the opportunity to rub her shoulder. â€Ô¨´Ç³Ü do feel rather cold,â€� he said. “Let’s sit by the fire. Jake, since you’re so interested in proper handling, why don’t you take the book?â€�
Jake snatched up the book and furiously stomped off toward the house.
â€Ô¨´Ç³Ü forgot to wear gloves!â€� Ian called after him.
Amy pushed him away. “Really, Ian.�
“What a touchy guy,� Ian said. “Frankly, I don’t know what you see in him.�
He winced as the kitchen door slammed, then glanced at Amy’s red face. “Hmmm. It might be a good time for me to take a walk.”

“There’s someone in town asking for directions to Bhaile Anois,â€� she said. “He checked in late last night at the inn.â€�
Any and Dan exchanged uneasy glances.
“What does he look like?� Amy asked.
Fiona narrowed her eyes. “Sneaky, for certain,� she said. “And he’s quite a waster. Good for nothin� but complaining. Nora over at the inn said he’s never satisfied with the temperature if his tea, and he asked for a cashmere throw in his room.�
Any and Dan exchanged another glance.
“IAN,� they said together, and sighed.
â€Ô¨´Ç³Ü know the eejit?â€� Fiona asked.
“The eejit is our cousin,� Amy said.
â€�Distant cousin,â€� Dan added. “Very, very distant.”
