I had to allow them a moment or two together.

I was never far away.

Well, it isna Malcolm who touched her,

or we wouldna be in this mess.

I honestly can't imagine that anyone has.

Who would dare?

And- and Ellen has always been

beyond reproach in this regard.

Other than a few words with Malcolm,

she was with you every moment.

The only time that I wasn't truly in her company

was when she joined the procession of women

receiving fertility blessings.

She was, however, accompanied by Jocasta,

who swore to me that she wouldn't leave Ellen's side.

Misery loves company, as they say.

Jocasta wouldna do anything to harm

Ellen's chances with Malcolm.

She kens marriage would make her sister miserable.

There's no love lost between any of you, is there?

What has love to do with any of this?

Something to ponder, lad.

Your father might have asked the same thing.

Well, what would you have told him?

That it has nothing to do with any of this.

Or absolutely everything.

Why do any of us do what we do?

There's nothing I can do to intervene on her behalf, Ned.

Such a pleasure to have you with us.
