Who knows what goes on in people's heads? Or in their hearts? We think we know someone, then suddenly they do something completely unexpected. So it was with Angus. For the first six months he wrote to Flora as regularly as ever. Then the letters came less and less frequently, until they finally stopped. Flora tried to hide her feelings but it was obvious that she was suffering terribly.
People tried to cheer her up but some wounds cannot be healed. Then, one Saturday night a few months later, Colin met Flora at a 'ceilidh' in Killiecrachan. Her parents had taken her there. She had gone unwillingly. Who knows exactly what happened between Flora and Colin that evening? Perhaps it was the dancing, or the fiddle music, or the whisky ... who knows? Anyway, from then on they began to go about together, and within a year they were married. Miss Flora McIntosh became Mrs Flora Campbell. She moved into the farm across the river and began a new life.
