Amelia's shock ? My telling her, and you, our

Two Belgians here for quarries, turned up
yesterday. Mrs. Mackenzie pleaded with me for
the French. I did what was necessary for the
moment, then told her to turn to nieces if required.
From the Rev. A. Fleming, d.d.
Kingussie. 1907.
I have more than once since our visit to Iona
meant to write to you ; for that visit opened my
eyes in a way that they have never been opened
before to all that you are, and have been, to the
Islands.
I confess that it was with much wonder and
admiration that we both realised all the hardships,
all the obstacles and difficulties, your triumphant
faith and unalterable devotion had enabled you, by
God's goodness, to overcome, and how much your
name meant to many an unknown old woman
crooning over the fire, tholing her rheumatism
and bronchitis all alone, and with no earthly name
that was magic to her save that of Lady Victoria.
The sick and poor of Mull, Iona, and Tiree are your
intercessors at the Throne, and your monument
stands on a high hill among them — to those who
have eyes to see it — out in the seas of the west.
I shall always now think of you as " The Lady of
the Isles," and your ministry there shall be for
a remembrance for you.
