ONE day his guardians were agitated: they held confabulations at which Fionn was not permitted to assist. A man who passed by in the morning had spoken to them. They fed the man, and during his feeding Fionn had been shooed from the door as if he were a chicken. When the stranger took his road the women went with him a short distance.

"He shall be attended to," answered poor Archie, who was trying to bring up the little marplot with the success of most parents and guardians.
