"We were a family," Urquhart says. "More, we were a clan, with all sorts of relatives, relations, and dependants tagged on, and we all stuck together. Look, over there, sorting the good goblets, that was my great-aunt Oonagh who'd come from Ireland to marry one of my grandfather's younger brothers. He died in a duel, and she just stayed on and helped to raise my father and his siblings, and then us. We didn't leave anybody out in the cold that we considered ours."
