Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett
Three Scenes from the
by bigbadunderclass
Three short snippets from Johnnie Bullo's time with the Master of Crawford and his band of ruffians. Johnnie plays a trick, watches Francis find something precious during a raid, and has an honest conversation with a certain temperamental red-head. Nights like these, Johnnie Bullo reflected, were what he had joined Lymond for. Peel Tower was alive with ruffians: it was one of those rare occasions when the full force of every one of Lymond’s hard-drinking, hard-brawling, hard-working adherents was brought to bear on the lower rooms for an altogether welcome evening of nothing more pressing than several barrels of good ale.
