The Last of the Kintyres — Catherine Airlie

For years, Elizabeth Stanton had wanted to go to Dromore, where her mother had spent all her girlhood.

Now she herself was going back to Dromore -- to meet the laird's son. What would he be like? Would he be a reflection of that other young man who had captured her mother's heart? The stage was set for Elizabeth to re-enact her mother's old romance -- yet, in such cases, how often does history repeat itself?
