e in and kissed Morag good-by and said the charm for a
journey over her.

May my Silver-
Shielded Magian
Shed all lights
Across your path.

Then Morag put the Little Red Hen under her arm and started out. "I
shall find you," said she to Flann, "at the Castle of the King of
Ireland, for it is there I shall go when I part from my foster-sisters
and the Queen of Senlabor. Kiss me now. But if you kiss anyone until you
kiss me again you will forget me. Remember that."

"I will remember," said Flann, and he kissed Morag and said, "When you
come to the King of Ireland's Castle we will be married."

"You gave me the Rowan Berry," said Morag, "and the Rowan Berry gave me
all the beauty that should be mine. But what good will my beauty be to
me if you forget me?"

"But, Morag," said he, "how could I forget you?"

She said nothing but went down the side of the knowe and Flann watched
and watched until his eyes had no power to see any more.

THE SPAE-WOMAN

I

There are many things to tell you still, my kind foster-child, but
little time have I to tell you them, for the barnacle-geese are flying
over the house, and when they have all flown by I shall have no more to

The barnacle-geese are flying over the house as I said. And so they were
crossing and flying on the night the King of Ireland's Son and Fedelma
whom he had brought from the Land of Mist stayed in the house of the
Little Sage of the Mountain. On that night the Little Sage told them
from what bird had come the wing that thatched his house. That was a
wonderful story. And he told them too about the next place they should
go to--the Spae-woman's house. There, he said he would find people that
they knew--Flann, the King's Son's comrade, and Caintigern, the wife of
the King of Ireland, and Fedelma's sister, Gilveen.

In the morning the Little Sage of the Mountain took them down the
hillside to the place where Fedelma and the King's Son would get a horse
to ride to the Spae-Woman's house. The Little Sage told them from
what people the Spae-Woman came and why she lived amongs
