Droid--aw, he
was a good man that brought the two children of Chief Diarmid and Queen
Moira together. You didn't know about them two? You niver h'ard of
Chief Diarmid and Queen Moira and their two lovely children? Well, there
it is, there's no sayin' how ignorant y'are if y'are not Irish. Aw no,
they wasn't man and wife. Diarmid was a widower and Moira was a widow.
Diarmid's boy was Filion and Moira's girl was Fiona, an' the troubles of
the two'd make a book for ivry day of the week, an' two for Sunday. An'
the way that St. Droid brought them two together Aw, come outside in the
gardin where the moon's to the full, an' it's warm enough for anny man or
woman that's got a warm heart, an' I'll tell you the story of Filion and
Fiona. You'll not be forgettin' the names of them now, will ye? And
while I'm tellin' you, all the time you'll be thinkin' of St. Droid, for
it's his day. It was nothin' till him, St. Droid, that he lived in a
cave, you understan'? Wasn't his face like the sun comin' up over the
lake at Ballinhoe in the month of June! Well, it doesn't matter if
you've niver seen Ballinhoe--you understan' what I mean.
