Sapphire Dream (42 page)
“I thank ye, Inghinn. ’Twas a fittin’ wedding gift for the two o’ them.”
“Aye, and ye must keep yer end of the agreement, Hegarty. Ye’ve a soft heart and a foolish head, my friend.”
“Only for the bairns.”
“Aye. But the children grow up, do they not? And that soft heart of yours stays with them, I’m thinking.”
Hegarty eased toward the door of the Wellerby cottage. He was feeling the itch to be away as he did whenever the witch got on her scolding.
“Ye must fetch me the rest of the stones, Hegarty. ’Tis past time, as well ye ken. They were ne’er yours to take.”
Hegarty shrugged, shifting from foot to foot. “I canna reach ’em, ye ken that. Only the sapphire comes to my call.”
“They’ll all answer to the amethyst. And that one remains in this place, this time. You’ll get it back for me.”
“The laddie needed it, aye?”
“Mayhap he did. But that was a score of years ago, and he’s a laddie no more. Ye must get it back.”
“But . . .”
“Fetch the amethyst, Hegarty. And once ye have it, ye must call back the others. ’Tis certain, the Jewels of Kin donan were never meant for this world.”
