The narrator says he was the first-born, with Donald next, then Dugald, and last of all one sister, Flora, and recalls what a happy life theirs was in Glen Coila. The narrator says that wherever he glanced that night he had seen Sandie, the moon shining down on the white shirt and trousers he wore, taking aim with rifle or revolver or dashing into a crowd of spear-armed Indians, his claymore hardly visible, so swiftly was it moved to and fro.
