Guardian Angel (Johnstone)

Lord Douglas Ahearn Stuart (Ahearn = Scottish Gaelic for Lord of the horses) has now turned thirty but still at war with the bad part of the Clan Douglas. James Douglas is in prison but his three cousins that Ahearn crossed and lost them their jobs are still out for vengeance. They once again pick on Morag (Lady Stuart) dragging her name through the mud, but she has a general fighting her case that surprises Ahearn. Andrew is still translating the diary of the first Lord Douglas Ahearn from Latin to English. There are still many secrets being found about his loyalty to the Royal Stuarts from James the IV to almost the death of Mary Queen of all Scots. The conspiracies to return Mary from the clutches of Elizabeth I and the messenger trail from north to south are still being found in the diary. Marie, (Mary Queen of Scots) that is Ahearn's modern day Guardian Angel still appears to give him cryptic clues of what he might need to stay safe. The problem is she can only guide him and not foretell his future. This leaves him more confused after their brief encounter than he was before she appeared to supposedly leave him with a clear mind.

Marie is still giving Ahearn {Douglas} cryptic clues to what might take place in his life. She has still not given him a direct yes or no to any of his questions and is leaving him more confused after appearing to clear his mind than he was before she appeared. Lady Lindsay will not allow Andrew or Kevin to investigate new buildings without her being there with them. Kevin is still messing up most of Andrew's theories to his annoyance, and Andrew is now visiting Lady Armstrong most nights. Kevin still goes to see Andrews's mother for his education in English and history and his thinking outside the box still allows him to give his own wild theories. Many of the constables in Police Scotland have a grudge against Andrew and are always ruining his days. They are now treading on the feet of Lady Lindsay and she has laid down her law that they had better understand. Meg is now companion to Lady Stanley, the adopted mother of Lord Ahearn Douglas Stuart. There are now sheep and horse thieves on the highlands, and the Docherty clan have come to the highlands to help their extended family the Douglas clan.
