I Know Where I'm Going! Page #3

We didn't understand.

Why should l keep it?

To go back to Tobermory

and sleep there.

But l intend to spend the night

on Kiloran.

Would you like to wait at the house?

l know the people.

lt's been arranged for the boat to meet

me here and l'd better be here to meet it.

Good.

lt's the big house up the brae.

(Kiloran and Ruaridh speak Gaelic)

- ls that Gaelic you're talking?

- Yes, my lady.

- What would it be but the Gaelic?

- (Low hooting)

- What's that noise?

- That would be the seals singing.

The seals?

Yes, yes, they like the warm,

foggy weather.

lf my boat doesn't come,

will you take me?

No, l will not, my lady.

'Port Erraig, 5:
15pm.

'A motorboat from Kiloran

will meet Miss Webster...'

Good evening. l'm looking for the house.

You see a wee gate. Up the brae.

Thank you.

Hello?

May l be the first to welcome you

to these marble halls, young lady?

l was just going down to get you.

You've met the Colonel.

An exceptional pleasure.

Name's Barnstaple.

- The greatest hawk trainer...

- Falconer, my dear Torquil!

- Greatest falconer in the Western lsles.

- ln the world, old boy!

Catriona's out. She's our hostess.

She's no idea you and l are here

but she'll find a corner for us.

She's a grand girl, bless her heart.

l've known her since we were kids,

she married an Englishman called Potts.

He's in the Middle East

and the kid's at boarding school.

- How's business, Colonel?

- l've got a new line now,

eagles.

l've been training a golden eagle

for seven months.

- Hunting with it like a hawk?

- Ha-ha! That's shaken you!

- Where is it? l'd like to see it.

- Sorry, old boy, lost him four days ago.

- Where did you see him last?

- On Gorrie's Leap.

l was trying with rabbits

and the blighter lost interest.

Sailed off up Beinn Teallach

and disappeared.

Every day l'm after him,

trodden that mountain

almost into the ground. But l'll get him.

(Howling)

(Whistles)

- Catriona!

- Here's the dear girl now.

(Howling and barking)

Torquil!

(They speak Gaelic)

- Mrs Potts!

- (Speaks Gaelic)

Rum stuff is Gaelic.

Still got those half-starved hounds?

How do you manage to feed 'em?

We live off the country.

Rabbits, deer, stray hikers.

Do you expect me to eat them

just when the strain's getting known?

How's that for bone?

Look at that head, eh?

Torquil, it's good of you

to come and see an old bag like me.

- Good evening.

- This is a fellow traveller to Kiloran.

Oh, l see, Ruairidh wouldn't

take you over?

You're right but l love you just the same.

l came over on the midday bus

just to see you.

- This is Miss, erm...

- Webster.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

Sorry l didn't see you, it's Torquil's fault.
