Skye could barely keep a straight face. She wanted to laugh at Peggy's barb, but knew it would only make the matter worse. Felicia was taken aback a moment by Peggy's comment.
Β As shock and anger surged in her, Skye's voice made the red color taking over her vision retreat; "That is Enough out of you two! Finish up and leave me before I have ye both tossed into the loch to cool off!"
Knowing her lady was serious, Peggy apologized. Skye wasn't actually mad, but needed to set an example to the wench. Peggy could see the mirth in Skye's eyes before turning to Felicia. She motioned to the basin that sat in the doorway to the courtyard, but didn't speak. Peggy knew her lady really did just want some peace. She decided they should leave through the servant's gate located in the courtyard, behind the shade tree.
A few minutes after they left, Skye burst out laughing while saying; "Ye slay me Peg! Her face! Ha ha ha ha! 'Yer Nips!' Ha ha ha ha!"
