spills her new cargo out on the ground. Duncan worries about the woman Linet de Montfort and
decides to keep an eye
on her in order to protect her from El Gallo. In spite of

alone feeling the
gypsy is bad for business especially for a first year "sole
femme. " However,
when the Spanish abduct Linet, her only hope for rescue
