1900 acres, including Kisimul Castle,

Marie says she consented to the
purchase only under constant pres

share of her inheritance from her
mother When he demanded the prop

adds, "he became insanely angry and
threatened my life by strangulation."
The Macneil claims she failed TO

nostalgically named Barra House in
Vermont and, not only that, but that
she went there after their separation
and took all the bed pillows, a life

a complete set of purple china, a sill

Marie's answer is that she paid

The chronology of events that led
to the marriage of The Macneil and
the widow Hicks and its ultimate
wreck started a century ago when
Clan Macneil lost its island home and
the ancestral castle OF Kisimul.
The kelp industry failed and a
long depression came TO the West
Highlands. The 4lst chieftain of
Barra, son of Roderic the Gentle,
who fought in the American Revolu-
ton, had TO sell the castle and lands.
The ruling family came 10 America
and in 1915 Michigan born Robert
Lister became the 45th MaCneil at
the age of 26, succeeding his artist
father, Roderic Ambrose.

The generations since proud Mall
may have thinned and refined the

she agrees, but they have not quelled

The Macneil today flies no skull
