Subject: RE: Songs of Vengeance
Andrew Lammie, where the brother takes his revenge on his sister Annie for having the nerve to fall in love with Andrew-of-low-degree instead of the more lucrative match, Lord Fyvie.

The Cruel Brother, who kills his sister on her wedding day because her groom failed to get bro's permission to marry his sis -- and the dying bride who gets the last word in vengeance, bequeathing her brother "the gallows tree to hang him on" and the brother's wife "a widow's weeds and a quiet life."
