I Know Where I'm Going! Page #5

No, l've never met him.

Does he know you're going to Kiloran?

- No. Do you know him?

- Very well.

- Nice chap?

- The nicest.

- l'd like to meet him.

- You're bound to on such a small island.

- lt's not so small.

- l heard you could walk its length

in an hour and a half.

You can if you want but who wants to?

There are better things to do.

- Such as?

- Shoot grouse,

fish for salmon, bathe in Kiloran Bay,

picnic at Pig's Paradise.

- Where's that?

- On the north shore.

There's an eagle's eyrie

there on Beinn Bhreac.

- l promised to take the colonel.

- So he's going too?

- Yes, he's got a permit from Bellinger.

- So one does need a permit?

ln wartime, for ordinary visitors, but l'm

staying with the factor on the west side.

Kiloran House is near the lake, isn't it?

The loch, yes.

- (Knock on door)

- Who is it?

(Torquil) lt's me. l've just been outside,

it's much clearer.

With luck we'll cross in the morning.

- Thanks for telling me.

- See you in the morning.

- Good night.

- Er, good night.

You can see the trees now. ln half

an hour you'll be able to see the shore.

- ln half an hour l shall be asleep.

- There's a grand view of Kiloran,

the northeast end. At sunrise the light

shines on the sands of Balnahard Bay.

With a glass you can see the people.

Have you got a match or a lighter?

Thanks.

Thank you.

- Are you engaged?

- Yes.

l'm going to be married on Kiloran.

lt's an honour for Kiloran.

Well, may your pulse beat

as your heart would wish.

- Thank you.

- ls it to be soon?

Tomorrow, weather permitting.

- Have you got any beams in your room?

- Yes. Why?

Count them now

and your wish'll come true.

- Easy as that?

- Only the first night under the roof.

People in modern houses don't know

what they're missing. Good night.

l warn you, it doesn't work

if you don't believe in it.

One, two, three, four, five.

Please, Lord, don't let the wind drop

and let it blow the fog away.

(Wind howling)

(Wind howling)

Good morning, Miss Webster!

Good morning!

Your counting beams certainly works.

Trouble is, you wished too hard.

- Why, what's the matter?

- We've had a gale warning.

- What will that mean?

- Ruairidh Mhr will tell you.

How long will the gale last? Och, just as

long as the wind blows, my lady.

lt can last for a day,

it can blow for a week.

lt looks so near.

ln half an hour we could be there.

ln less than a second you could get

from this world into the next.

- Can l speak to the island?

- By radio, from the coastguard post.

- Can civilians still use it, Ruairidh?

- Yes, yes.

- Where is the coastguard post?

- Tobermory.

- Can we get a car?

- We can go by bus.

Ruairidh, we'll be
