Captain Macdonald, an elderly retired soldier, has lived in the Highland Hotel for 30 years. When Ethel, a visitor to the hotel, plays the piano in the drawing room where the old man sits, her Grieg, Beethoven and Chopin have little effect, but familiar old Scotch songs rouse him to request others. When she stops playing, the soldier sinks back into his chair, his head droops, and he once again enters his world of dreams.
