Dòmhnall Caimbeul: Boireannach a dh'eug 's i trom. Miann càbhraich oirre. Agus... thàinig i co-dhiù, agus am boireannach a bha a-staigh, bha i... bha càbhraich aice ann am poit, agus thug ise truinnsear dhi mar a thug i do chàch. Nuair a dh'ith i a' chàbhraich:

"Uill," ars ise, "tha mise... tha mise a' falbh. Chan fhaicear tuilleadh mi," ars ise. "Fhuair mi an rud a bha a dhìth orm."
