33EXT. COLM’S HOUSE - DAY

Chimney smoking. PADRAIC walks to door, raps on window. No answer. Looks in. No-one home?

Colm? Are you coming out to the...?

Distantly, across the brow of the hill, he sees COLM striding away, fiddle in hand, dog tagging along with him. *

And PADRAIC sadly realises this is serious.
