Sylum Snippet #5

Ewan had always been his favorite bother. He always seemed to know what Timmy was thinking before he'd said anything, and when the two of them put their heads together for mischief, you'd best watchout.

It'd taken him weeks to convice him that he didn't need to come and enlist with Timmy, that he'd fine and could watch out for himself.

Not that Ewan had bought it for one moment, but the combination of the powerful Timmy pout and the invocation of 'Mam needs you here more' created a powerful argument that there'd been no refute for.

Besides, Ewan was engaged to marry the lovely and sweet Maribelle, where Timmy had never even been courting with any of the eligible neighbor daughters.

Well see that the issue... the bloody story is only willing to come out in snippets at the moment, so, in order to coax the muse into spilling more info, I keep drabbling it all out **grin**

Nope..not Irish he's Scottish. It's brought up in one of the Civil War stories.

Thanks for reading!

The Scots-Irish were mainly Scots who left Scotland during the Highland Clearances. Many first went to Ireland, and then emigrated to the United States.
