"There is a great meaning in this token amongst the youths and maidens of the Gael," said he. "I know that," answered Deirdre. Deirdre returned to Levarcam. "Thou hast gathered the flower," said Levarcam. "I have," she replied, "and death and life are one to me now, dear foster-mother." Naysi went away through the forest and there is nothing related concerning him till he reached Dun Usna.
But it has never been shown that it was an opposition in any way racial; the complaint that the Lowlands of Scotland have been "rent by the Saxon from the Gael", in the manner of a racial dispossession, belongs to "The Lady of the Lake", not to sober history. All Scotland, indeed, has now, in one sense, been "rent by the Saxon" from the Celt.
Joan, prone on the skin before the fire, elbows on the fur, hands to her temples, face bent over a book, looked up impatiently. "I'd not be talkin' now if I was you, Mr. Gael. You had ought to be writin' an' I'm readin'. I can't talk an' read; seems when I do a thing I just hed to do it!"

Four months later the name of Prosper Gael began to be on every one's lips, and before every one's eyes; the world, his world, began to clamor for him. Even Wen Ho grumbled at this going out on tremendous journeys after the mail for which Prosper grew more and more greedy and impatient. His novel, "The Cañon," had been accepted, was enormously advertised, had made an extraordinary success.
It was of a woman, a long-drawn, emaciated creature, extraordinarily artificial in her grace and in the pose and expression of her ugly, charming form and features. She had been aided by hair-dresser and costumer and by her own wit, aided into something that made of her an arresting and compelling picture. "What do you think of her, Joan?" smiled Prosper Gael.
The next speech changed her into a flushed and palpitating girl. "Mr. Gael wishes to know, madam," the man-servant recited his lesson automatically, "if you have seen the exhibition of Foster's water-colors, Fifty-eighth Street and Fifth Avenue. He wants to know if you will be there this afternoon at five o'clock.
This fifth and final colony called themselves alternately, or at different periods of their history, Gael, from one of their remote ancestors; Milesians, from the immediate projector of their emigration; or Scoti, from Scota, the mother of Milesius. They came from Spain under the leadership of the sons of Milesius, whom they had lost during their temporary sojourn in that country.
Also there was a great sortilege-making. Whither to steer, that was the question. There were the rich coasts of England, but they were well guarded, and many of the Norland race were along the wardens. The isles of the Gael were in like case, and, though they were the easier prey, there was less to be had from them.
"Unequal they engage in the battle, The foreigners and the Gael of Tara, Fine linen shirts on the race of Conn, And the strangers one mass of iron." With what courage they fought, these scorners of armour, their victories of Ennis, of Callanglen, and of Credran, as well as their defeats at the Erne and at Down, amply testify.
