Summary
A relative visits from Australia; Jeannie Robertson has a prescient dream of his death.
Jeannie Robertson describes how Bill Robertson, a cousin of her husband Donald [Higgins], visited from Australia and introduced himself. Bill expressed a wish to hear tapes that Hamish Henderson made of his father, John. Hamish explains that Bill did not turn up after making contact.
Lizzie [Jeannie's daughter] commented on the finality of the look that Bill gave them when he left; Jeannie was shocked to hear that he died a week after returning to Australia. A couple of nights before she heard the news, Jeannie had a dream, which she relates, about the coffin of an older Robertson being brought to her door in Causewayend.
