After less than an hour's driving they reached the foot of Slieve Nagorna, and here the real toil began, for it was quite impossible for the pony, willing as he was, to lug the cart up the mountain.
The youngster was brought to the woods of Slieve Bloom and was nursed there in secret. It is likely the women were fond of him, for other than Fionn there was no life about them. He would be their life; and their eyes may have seemed as twin benedictions resting on the small fair head.
On yet another occasion Declan was in his own region travelling over Slieve Gua in the Decies, when his horse from some cause got lame so that he could proceed no further. Declan however, seeing a herd of deer roaming the mountain close to him, said to one of his people: "Go, and bring me for my chariot one of these deer to replace my horse and take with you this halter for him."
These two set out then for Munster, and as the sun was setting they reached Slieve Luachra and prepared to spend the night there. "Cael, my pulse," said the Carl, "we had better build a house or a hut to pass the night in." "I'Il build nothing," Cael replied, looking on the Carl with great disfavour. "No!"
He knew by the shape of the hills and by the shining of Lough Greine in the distance that he was upon one of the hills of Slieve Echtge, but he was not sure how he came there; for all that had happened in the barn had gone from him, and all of his journey but the soreness of his feet and the stiffness in his bones.
"You cannot walk to Slieve Nagorna, and yet you must get there; but I will get Angus to take you." "Angus! ay, he is a true Irish boy. Aw, I'd trust him." "You well may; he is a broth of a boy," said Nora. "Sit there. I will soon be back with you." She shut Andy out, bolting the little gate.
"Watch these and this and that," Fionn would have been told, "and always swim with a knife in your teeth." He lived there until his guardians found out where he was and came after him. Fiacuil gave him up to them, and he was brought home again to the woods of Slieve Bloom, but he had gathered great knowledge and new supplenesses. The sons of Morna left him alone for a long time.
It is he who slumbers upon Slieve Fuad The child who is like a star Like a star upon Slieve Fuad. Tuatha=nations, De=gods, Danan=of Dana. So it means the god nations sprung from Dana also called Ana. Then his vision passed from the Druid, he raised up his long white hands and gave thanks to the high gods of Erin that he had lived to see this day.
Slieve Louan was followed by a great boulder-like hill turned sideways, the top indented like a crater, and the priest likened the long, low profile of the next hill to a reptile raising itself on its forepaws. He stood at gaze, bewitched by the play of light and shadow among the slopes; and when he turned towards the lake again, he was surprised to see a yacht by Castle Island.
