A few months ago I was on the bare Hill of Allen, "wide Almhuin of Leinster," where Finn and the Fianna lived, according to the stories, although there are no earthen mounds there like those that mark the sites of old buildings on so many hills.

Mother: So you did, if I could but have kept it in mind. What at all ails him that he does not come in to the breakfast? Celia: He went out last night and the full moon shining.
