Chuir i seo 'na aite fhein 's fhreagair e ann agus cha'n aithnicheadh tu le coimhead air gu'n deachaidh a ghlua- sad riamh. "Ach c'arson," ors' ise, "a tha cuaran air do laimh?" "Tha," ors' esan, "far a bheil barr mo ludaig' 'gam dhlrth." "Bheir dhiot," ors' ise, "an cuaran, ma tha." Thugadh an cuaran bhiLrr na laimh' aige agus sgaoil i amach a neapaicin-ph"'ca 's anns an oisinn eile thog i amach pios a bh'ann a* 'in agus'chaidh am pios sin a chur air barr na ludaig' aige agus cha'n aithnicheadh duine gu'n deachaidh e riamh a ghluasad dhe leis mar a fhreagair e. "Seo agad," ors' ise, "an ridire a shabhail mise bho'n bheist." Am fear eile, bha e 'g eigheach 's a' dol mun cuairt 's 'g eigheach pears' eaglais fhaighinn, ach chaidh breith air an fhear eile 's a chur air falbh 's tha mi cinn? teach gu'n deachaidh a chur air eilean neo air ait* iomallach air choireiginn. Agus chaidh cur mu dheidhinn feisde mh'r agus bainis a dheanamh. 'S 'nuair a chaidh an gnothach 'bha 'seo a chur air saod theich am buachaille; thog e rith' 's ghabh e suas a dh'ionnsaidh na lobhtadh agus bha gnothaichean ann a' sin a fhuair e, tha mi cinnteach, bho mhathair nam fuamhairichean agus chuir e e-fhein ann an 'ideadh gu math grinn agus thalinig e anuas. Bha e 'n deaghaidh a cheann a chlreadh 's bha cir aige 's 'nuair a chlreadh e a cheann leath' bhiodh a ghru? aig air dath an oir. Agus tha mi 'creid- sinn nach fhaca an righ riamh a leithid de dhuine eireachdail 'na rioghachd fhein neo ann an rioghachd sam bith a shiubhail e oirre. 'S chaidh a' bhainis a chur air 'n aghaidh agus feasda mhor a dheanamh.

She spread out her handkerchief and out of its corner she took the piece of skin and flesh and hair. When she put Lt back in its proper place it fitted so that you would not know from looking at it that it had ever been removed. "But why," she said, "are you wearing a finger-stall on your hand?"

That piece was put on the end of his little finger and it fitted so well that no one would know that it had ever been removed. "Here you have the knight," she said, "who saved me from the monster." The other warrior was going around and shouting, calling for a clergy-man to be fetched, but he was caught and sent away, and I'm sure he was sent to an island or some other remote place.
