He succeeded in attaining the summit, but never came down again. Most likely he made a false step and was precipitated into the sea. The worthy Lallemand family received her, a few days after her arrival into their house.
Sugarloaf which he could not bear to be called being an ardent admirer of the Church, and aware that her ministers know what is good, returned with great speed the Rector's call, having earnest hopes of some heart-felt words upon the difference between a right and left handed sole.
The Dargle, Powerscourt Waterfall, Bray Head, and the Sugarloaf Mountains were all within rambling distance of Springfield. A few miles away, on the Dublin side, were various ruins full of rusting machinery. These had been the sites of paper and flax mills, shut down owing to England's fiscal policy of the early nineteenth century days.
The sun, with rays of lilac red, set over a panorama of townlet, land, and sea, to which distance added many a charm.

It was a queer time and a queer look-out. Three o'clock in the morning the stars in the sky, and it so clear that we could see Nulla Mountain rising up against it a big black lump, without sign of tree or rock; underneath the valley, one sea of mist, and we just agoing to drop into it; on the other side of the Hollow, the clear hill we called the Sugarloaf.
