“One child we had: a daughter as beautiful as a faerie-born child. What did I know? Only that they had foisted a changeling on me from the moment that I saw her. Then came Rob - look at him! He could read as soon as he could walk, though I can’t spell my name. He knew the herbs as soon as he toddled into the garden. Used to name them by smell. Who smells leaves but a faerie child?”

He would leave her in poverty and the king in imprisonment. He was only twenty-two and he had failed in everything his duty and his heart had prompted him to do.’

‘Now the Scots were defeated, the king and parliament would have to agree: he had lost his last gamble: he would always be king, but no longer could he impose his will on the people.
