Night Visitor (23 page)
Bishop Mapleton sat in his study, watching the clock on his desk and feeling happily amazed. The dreaded hour had come and gone and there had been no playing heard in the battlements. It seemed that his exorcism had finally done the trick. Or perhaps it was taking the piper’s bones and burying them at the edge of the property and setting that massive boulder atop them. Whatever the cause, he was reveling in the silence.
He was so happy, in fact, that the news the archaeologist’s daughter had married a piper and the man had come for a visit did not disconcert him.
He could tolerate a highlander’s “agony bags” so long as they weren’t being played in
his
castle. He might even pay a call upon the couple and welcome the man to the neighborhood.
