Flann was the name that the Old Woman of Beare gave to Gilly of the Goatskin when he came back to tell her that the Swan of Endless Tales had been hatched out of the Crystal Egg. He went from her house then and came to where the King of Ireland's Son waited for him. The two comrades went along a well-traveled road.
She could not allow him to leave. Mere waste of words; Harold was off next morning to Harbridge, and Phillipa reported progress to her co-conspirator. "It promises well," said Gilly. "I may be able to muzzle that scoundrel after all."
You wouldn't have liked me to cut the legs off any other person's horse. And I thought your race-horse's legs would be the most suitable to cut off." The mummers and the people were gathered round them and they saw the Churl's face get black with vexation. "O my misfortune, that ever I met with you," said the Churl. "Are you sorry for your bargain, Master?" said Gilly.
Prompt arrests followed, and Martin Allen, James Wells, Gilly McGloyn, Eddy Watson and John Grady were pounced upon and conveyed to prison. Thus far the evidence obtained had been of a character sufficient to warrant an arrest, but hardly of convincing force to justify a conviction upon a trial by jury.
And before she gives it to you, you must tell her and whoever else is in her house as much as you know of the Unique Tale." "But I know nothing at all of the Unique Tale," said Gilly of the Goatskin. "There is always a blank before a beginning," said the Spae-Woman. "This evening, when I am grinding the corn at the quern I shall tell you the Unique Tale."
Be frank, now; for if you wouldn't really enjoy it, I'll give old Gilly Forrester his chance." "No!" said Rudolph, stung as by some perfidy. "You make me ashamed! This is all ours, this part, so!" "Can do," laughed the other. "Get off your jacket. Give me half a moment start, so that you won't jump on my head." And he went wriggling down into the pit.
"Very well, Master," said Gilly. He put the skin across his arm and went towards the town. The people on the road said to him, "What do you want for the sheep-skin, young fellow?" "I want the skin and the price of it," Gilly said. The people laughed at him and said, "You're going to give yourself a long journey, young fellow." He went through the market asking for the skin and the price of it.
The Spae-Woman had sent a message to Caintigern the Queen to tell her she had tidings of her first-born son. Thereupon Caintigern went to the Spae-Woman's house and Gilveen, her attendant, went with her. She found there Flann who had been known as Gilly of the Goatskin, and knew him for the son who had been stolen from her when he was born.
Upon this, General Gilly quickened his advance, and on reaching Pont-Saint-Esprit found General d'Aultanne and Colonel Saint-Laurent conferring together at the Hotel de la Poste.
"If one could make him say that he, the master, is sorry for the bargain, the Churl himself would lose a strip of his skin an inch wide from his neck to his heel, and would have to pay full wages no matter how short a time the youth served him." "It's a bargain anyway," said Gilly, "and if he comes I'll take service with the Churl of the Townland of Mischance."
