In my novel Dancing King, Michael and Sarah Kent-Hughes have something of a break
from London, when they go to Scotland for Christmas (with a slight interruption
with Michael’s sermon at Southwark Cathedralin London). It’s a relatively short part in the narrative,
but two important things happen.
First, Michael has a
conversation in the stable with his guardian father, Ian McLaren. Ian and his
wife Iris were surprised – shocked is a better word – to discover they become
the guardians of a six-year-old boy. Childless themselves, they raised him as
their own child, and he still calls them “Ma and Da.” And Michael gets his
degree from the University of Edinburgh, which is where he meets American
exchange students and twins David and Sarah Hughes in the first novel in the
series, Dancing Priest.
