Oona looked at him then as if she would question him, but he raised her hand in his hand, and called out between singing and shouting: 'It is very near us that country is, it is on every side; it may be on the bare hill behind it is, or it may be in the heart of the wood. And he said out very loud and clear: 'In the heart of the wood; oh, death will never find us in the heart of the wood.
Oona, dear, come home with me!" Seeing that she did not stir, he lifted the hood, looked in her dead face, and gave a bitter cry. He had no sister any more. We passed through a portion of the "Bog of Allen," the largest of all Irish bogs said to be full 300,000 acres in extent.
"But what can bring him, Honor? What on earth can bring the boy here now, that never stood undher our roof afore?" "Three or four minutes, Fardorougha, will tell us. Let us hope in God it isn't bad. Eh, Saver above, it wouldn't be the death of his sister of Connor's Oona!
"Well, but ma'am dear, will you answer that is, i' you plaise, for sure we can't forget our manners, you know will you jist answer what I axed you?

Then he saw above him the face of Oona, and felt about him the arms of Oona; and for a moment the sun steadied and stood still, and the great walls were upright and moved not. "Thou art a brave man, Negore," he heard her say in his ear; "thou art my man, Negore."
It seemed to him that Winny was somewhere on the island smiling gently as of old, and when all had gone he swam in the way the boats had been rowed and found the new- made grave beside the ruined Abbey of the Holy Trinity, and threw himself upon it, calling to Oona to come to him.
