Of course this makes me want fic where Keith is cashiered for Ewen's sake. It also makes me want fic where Loudoun spreads his lies and gets Ewen ejected from Clan Cameron. They do not have to be the same fic.

I have written the first of those, but nobody has yet written the second. *g*

And re: your last paragraph, yeah, I noted that while reading but then never commented on it. This is really chilling: General Blakeney, a hard man, had no fault to find with Hawley’s disgraced staff-officer. Augh, Keith, what are you doing? /o\
