How did you decide to support James VIII?
My family has always been loyal, an' we dinnae care for sassanach government we dinnae ask for takin' our things an' sendin' our people off as slaves to the West Indies. When my brother's friend were caught smugglin' arms for His Majesty, an' my brother had to run off to France, I needed to do somewhat to help.
Why write for the papers?
If people dinnae ken the truth, that's when they get desperate. Besides, it's the right o' everyone to have the truth out in public.
How can you maintain friendships with the Fair Folk, knowing how dangerous they can be?
Ach, they're no' worse than men. Look about, we've a dozen o' our own kind on trial for killin' them that cannae defend themsel's. An' the Fair Folk are willin' to help, if ye ken how to ask. Sure, they dinnae feel as we do, but that dinnae mean they cannae get on with us.
