Alastair Mackenzie: Archie MacDonald

Quotes 

• Archie MacDonald : How did that ring end up in the loch?

  Hector : Didn't you hear? Red Bonnet put it there.

  Archie MacDonald : Father...

  Hector : I lost it swimming. Stupid thing to do. "Damn stupid thing to do, Hector," my father said. "You really let me down. I despair of you ever amounting to anything." Well, I wanted to tell him that it was an accident, it could have happened to anyone, that I was sorry, sorry I'd let him down.

  Archie MacDonald : Well, why didn't you?

  Hector : Because he was a cantankerous old git who was impossible to talk to. Can you imagine having a father like that?

  Archie MacDonald : No. No, I can't.
