Therefore Bove Derg asked, 'Wherefore, O Eva, come not Finola and her brothers to the palace this day?

But Bove Derg believed not his foster-daughter, and that night he secretly sent messengers across the hills to the dwelling of Lir.
Shortly afterwards there was opened, a little lower down, another mouth, from which a similar eruption took place; and still farther down there soon appeared a fifth, whence there flowed a torrent of lava which rapidly spread itself over the Val del Bove. During the first forty-eight hours it flowed nearly four miles, when it received a great accession.
And Bove Derg loved them well-nigh as did Lir himself. Ofttimes would he come to see them, and ofttimes were they brought to his palace by the Great Lake. And through all the Green Isle, where dwelt the Dedannan people, there also was spread the fame of the beauty of the children of Lir. Time crept on, and Finola was a maid of twelve summers.
Had he our pits, the Persian would admire No sun, but warm's devotion at our fire: He'd leave the trotting whipster, and prefer Our profound Vulcan 'bove that waggoner. For wants he heat or light? or would have store Of both? 'tis here: and what can suns give more? Nay, what's the sun but, in a different name, A coal-pit rampant, or a mine on flame!
I will go on, now, for I must hurry, or night will overtake me, and I shall not be able to find the path." "Oh, hit's a heap lighter when you git up on th' hill 'bove th' fog," said Jed, lowering his leg from the horse's neck, and settling the meal sack, preparatory to moving. "But I'd a heap rather hit was you than me a goin' up on Dewey t'night." He was still looking up the trail.
The regularity of the gradual slopes is broken on the eastern side by the Valle del Bove, a vast amphitheater more than three thousand feet in depth, three miles in width, and covering an area of ten square miles. The bottom of the valley is dotted with craters which rise in gigantic steps; and, when Ætna is in a state of eruption, these craters pour forth fiery cascades of lava.
His Mein and Person, but 'bove all his Humour, That surly Pride, though even to me addrest, Does strangely well become him. Oli. May I believe this? Am. Not if you mean to speak on't, But I shall soon enough betray my self. Enter Falatius with a patch or two on his Face. Falatius, welcome from the Wars; I'm glad to see y'ave scap'd the dangers of them. Fal. Oli. That's not so well, believe me.

Of their loneliness of soul, of that she could not speak. 'But tell us, she went on, 'tell us of our father, Lir. Lives he still, and Bove Derg, and our dear Dedannan friends?
George, dat dey's a freshet come fum 'bove, en Murder Creek is 'way out'n hits banks. You can't cross dar wid no hoss en buggy dis night." The young man reflected a moment.
