After spending the rest of the evening watching her being chatted up by several other men, unfortunately, including her husband, the bagpipe player leaves the inn to return home.
Unexpectedly, in the quiet lane, as the bagpipe player stands by his car watching the stars, he is joined by the lady from the bar. They embrace as if they had always been lovers but then she has to depart almost at once just leaving a promise that they will meet again, but refusing to give him her name.
This short story romance ends on a hopeful and happy note but the mystery of who is this new lover is unresolved.
