So everything continued on Kinness as Sandy predicted it would. Just two weeks after James had died they had a Halloween party for the children in the school, because there always was a party at Halloween. At Christmas there was carol singing and at new year there was guising. In the spring the lambs came and then it was time for ploughing and sowing. The whole island turned out for the harvest. As the years passed the story of the murders and James’ suicide became a story like the Great Storm, told and retold until it lost its power to shock. At first Jim and Sarah refused to go to church, but when the children were old enough they demanded to go to Sunday school like their friends, and it was hard then to stay away. They called their son James.

Sarah wrote to George Palmer-Jones several times after he left the island and he always replied. He was pleased, he said, to hear the Kinness news. But he never accepted her invitation to come and stay with them at Unsta. He was busy, with his new business to run.
