![]() Once back, they must teach Ollie/Mae how to live as a twentieth century child. The kids eventually return to their own time, taking the little girl who they believe is their sister. It is 1460 and King James II is marching on Roxburgh Castle to battle the English. The wise woman Anna, seventh child of a seventh child, tells the children that their coming, with the silver key, was foretold as the end of an age. ![]() They are exploring the castle keep when Ollie is dragged into the fog of time and doesn't recognize her brothers and sister when they appear in the past searching for her. Andrew, Elinor, Ian, and Ollie discover that when the castle key becomes luminous, time is no longer linear. The children don't actually seem to do anything together except complain but they are packed off to Aunt Grace's while their parents go to France. Elliot fondly remembers his holidays in Scotland at Smailholm Cottage and thinks his four children would greatly enjoy "a summer in the country with a castle at their back door". ![]()
