Grandfather came from the “old country” for a visit on the first cross-Atlantic passenger ship after WWII. He was a tall, flush-faced, austere man. Always dressed in a suit and waistcoat with a gold watch chain running from pocket to pocket and carried a walking stick. His thick brogue was barely understandable to the boy.
Grandfather returned home three months later and died while cheering for a football club he sponsored.
The boy became a man but never went to the old country. Now he downloads YouTube music of “Scotland the Brave, “Five-Hundred Miles,” and becomes Isabel Dalhousie’s secret lover.
