A YOUNG girl was
contracted to a gentleman in the Lewis, equal to her in birth and other
circumstances; yet a seer that
lived about the family frequently told her she should never be married
to that man; and even upon the night when the parson came to the place
to join their hands, the bride and bridegroom being completely dressed,
and ready waiting to fulfil the ceremony, the seer persisted in what he
had so often asserted. In the meantime, the bride having stepped out of
the room after night fell, she was met with by a gentleman, at the head
of twelve persons, who carried her to a boat hard by, and conducted her
to an island at some distance from the continent, waited there until
they were married, and the seer’s prediction fulfilled. |
