"Troth, mither, no muckle wi' heaven, I doubt, considering wha I carry ahint me and as for hell, it will fight its ain battle at its ain time, I'se be bound. Come, naggie, trot awa, man, an as thou wert a broomstick, for a witch rides thee With my curtch on my foot, and my shoe on my hand, I glance like the wildfire through brugh and through land."
"No, no, not Von at all; you are safe to be mistaken, Colonel Tarleton; the gentleman is one Diedrich Gansevoort from the Albany beverwyck. Madam De Lancey herself made us acquainted; he is no spy." Betty's heart sank. She murmured something in reply as Mr. Van Brugh paused. This was the famous and cruel Colonel Tarleton. If he had traced Oliver, then all was lost.
Thus was the might of the Fomorians broken, and the De Danaans ruled unopposed, their power and the works of their hands spreading throughout the length and breadth of the land. Many monuments are accredited to them by tradition, but greatest and most wonderful are the pyramids of stone at Brugh on the Boyne.

These amber beads, like so many things in the De Danaan history, call us to far northern lands by the Baltic, whence in all likelihood the De Danaans came; for in those Baltic lands we find just such pyramid shrines as those at Brugh and on the hillsides of Slieve na Calliagh, and their ornaments are the same, and the fashion of their spear-heads and shields.
"Woman," said he, "for what purpose do you go abroad on this night and on this hill?" "I travel, sir," said the Thin Woman, "searching for the Brugh of Angus the son of the Dagda Mor." "We are all children of the Great Father," said he. "Do you know who we are?" "I do not know that," said she.
This open space had been at first Van Brugh Street, taking its name from Johannes Pietersen Van Brugh, a wealthy Hollander whose home faced the square for close upon half a century. It bore his name until in 1714, when with the accession of George I. of Hanover it took the name of Hanover Square.
