Suddenly she says "People can come here for holidays. They can paint pictures of your island. I can teach them. And they can stay in your castle. We can make a lot of money!" "You're right!" Duncan says. Now McTavish Painting Holidays are very famous. Every year many visitors come to the island. Then Duncan and Jean have a lot of money and they are married now.
