It appears once every hundred years for one day, then disappears back into the mists of time, to wake up to its next day a century hence.

to come over to sign

the family Bible.

"- Aye, Father.

- I'm off to see Mr. Lundie."

Attend to the marketing.

Buy everything that's needed

for the weddin' supper.

"- Aye.

- But remember, just what's needed."

My aim for this occasion

is to be hospitable...

not philanthropic.

When you gonna think

about marriage for yourself?

When I find someone

who makes me think of it.

You've never met anyone up 'til now

that made you think of it?

"No, not as yet."

Doesn't that worry you?

"Aye, a little..."

but I'm not gonna let it worry me

into marryin' the wrong one.

Many a lassie

as everyone knows'll

Try to be married before 25

So she'll agree

to most any proposal

All he must be

is a man and alive

I hold a dream

and there's no compromisin'

I know there's one

certain laddie for me

One day he'll come

walkin' o'er the horizon

But should he not

Then an old maid I'll be

Foolish ye may say

Foolish I will stay

Waitin' for my dearie

And happy am I

To hold my heart

'til he comes

Strollin' by

"When he comes, my dearie"

One look and I'll know

That he's the dearie

I've been wantin' so

Though I'll live 40 lives

'Til the day he arrives

"I'll not ever, ever grieve"

For my hope will be high

That he'll come strollin' by

For you see

I believe

That

There's a laddie weary

And wanderin' free

Who's waitin'

For his dearie

Me

What do you do

while you're waitin' around

For your lad to come your way

"Well, when no one is lookin"'

You kneel on the ground

And you pray and pray

And pray

But when lassies sit

and have no men

"Oh, how long becomes the night"

But I fear the night

is longer when

The lad's not right

Waitin' for my dearie

Is sweeter to me

Than wooin' any laddie

On the lea

Dreamin' of your dearie

And idlin' the day

That's how I am

And how I'll always stay

Though I'll live 40 lives

'til the day he arrives

"I'll not ever, ever grieve"

For my hopes will be high

That he'll come strollin' by

For you see

I believe

That

There's a laddie weary

And wanderin' free

Who's waitin'

For his dearie

Me

"Good mornin', Fiona!"

Thanks.

"- Good mornin', Miss Fiona.

- Good mornin', Mr. Beaton."

- Good day.

- What would you be lookin' for?

A waistcoat for my father

for the weddin'.

"Of course. Jean and young Dalrymple

are gettin' married today, aren't they?"

"If she had to choose someone

other than my son, Harry..."

I'm glad 'twas a lad

as fine as Charlie.

Would you have a waistcoat

of this that would fit him?

I think so. I'll have Harry

run over to the house and see.

"Friends, your attention, please!"

This is the second day

of our blessing...

and so to remind ye...

Mr. Lundie has drawn up
