It seems probable that this tale records a real incident which took place in Aunt David’s garden. Penelope has apparently listened with such attention to the old Celtic romances as told by the Ard-ri and Dermot O’Dyna that she has, consciously or unconsciously, reproduced something of their atmosphere and phraseology. The delightful surprise at the end must have been contrived by Salemina, when she, in her character of Sheela the Scribe, gazed into the Horn of Foreknowledge and learned the events that were to happen that day.—K.D.W.
