Lorna
has found her real family. She finds her grandmother
who tells her how the Doones killed her parents and
brought her up hoping to inherit Lorna's vast inheritance
when she married Carver Doone. Lorna becomes Lady Lorna
and learns about becoming a "Lady" for Society.
The instrumental piece entitled 'Watch my footsteps'
is an elegant reprise of 'He must have known'
and delightfully denotes the change that Lorna has gone
through from being a Doone to becoming Lady Lorna.
Meanwhile
Carver angrily returns home and with his Clan of Doones,
attacks the Ridd farmhouse. The farmhouse is detroyed
and Tom Faggus is killed. Annie is emotionally destroyed
and her agony is brilliantly performed by Louise Winstone
in the song 'How will I live'.
John,
unaware of the troubles at home, discovers his beloved
Lorna and is stunned by her change to Lady Lorna.
Lorna, upon discovering that her letters to John were
never delivered on the basis that John Ridd was an
unsuitable suitor for Lady Lorna, decides to leave
and go with John after all. When they return to the
farmhouse and discover the carnage and Tom's death,
John is furious. He brings together all the villagers
and they form an army to rise up against the Doones.
A huge battle ensues and the Doones are finally defeated.
However Carver Doone escapes and runs away.
John
Ridd is a hero and huge celebrations follow the defeat
of the Doones. 'Praise John Ridd' is vocally
performed by Llewellyn who also reproduces all the
voices of the men celebrating their victory in this
last track from the Album.
Finally
John can marry his beloved Lorna. In the church John
is about to marry Lorna when a gun shot rings out.
Carver Doone has shot Lorna. If Carver cannot have
Lorna then he believes that no-one else can. John
chases after Carver and a huge fight between them
takes place. Finally Carver Doone falls into a bog
where he feels himself being sucked down into it like
quicksand. He reaches out to John to save him. John
pauses and is unsure what to do. Suddenly, it's all
too late and Carver has been sucked under by the sheer
suction power of the bog.
John
returns to the farmhouse expecting the worse. But
to his surprise, he is greeted by his sister Annie
who calls out to John.
"She
lives...Lorna lives !"
