CONN
Brian MacConnell is very fond of you.
MAIRE
Do you know that, father?
CONN
And I know that you are fond of Brian. (There is no answer)
That my jewel may have luck and prosperity. (Goes towards room door,
leaving Maire standing there) I'll be taking this fiddle, Maire.
MAIRE
Oh, are we going on the roads?
CONN
To Ardagh, Maire.
MAIRE
To Ardagh.
CONN
I'll go up now, and make ready.
He takes candle off table, and goes back towards room door.
MAIRE
Oh, what do I know about Brian MacConnell, after all?
CONN
Brian is wild, but he is free-handed.
