Fintain.
I overheard her telling that she never had but one lover, and that he was the only man who overcame her in battle. There were some who thought him one of the Riders of the Sidhe, because the child was great of limb and strong beyond others.

Fintain.

Barach.
How can he have Cuchullain’s eyes?
Fintain.
