Highlander in Love

I thank you for your kind letter of Wednesday past concerning the alleged curse of any daughter born to a Lockhart; I assure you that I think it all a lot of flummery. I hold firmly convinced that a lass with your considerable fortitude and spirit might marry whomever she please without a care for even the devil. Nor do I believe that a man who has bargained for the hand of a daughter of a Lockhart, and bargained quite fairly, if I may be so bold, has any need to fear, other than the usual danger of death by great exasperation owing to the Lockharts stubborn nature in general.

Thank you again, Miss Lockhart, for your concern for my well-being. I look forward to setting the date of our wedding.
Sincerely, Douglas
