The King Of Ireland's Son, Illustrated Edition (Yesterday's Classics) - Plot & Excerpts
"Do you tell me the truth now," said Flann. "The truth, the truth," said she, "of course I tell you the truth. Oh, and there are other truths. I shall be ashamed forever if I tell them. Oh, oh. They are rising to my tongue, and every time I press them back this girdle tightens and tightens until I think it will kill me." "Farewell, then, Flame-of-Wine." "Take off the girdle, take off the girdle! What truths are in my mind! I shall speak them and I shall be ashamed. But I shall die in pain if I hold them back. Loosen the girdle, loosen the girdle! Take the rose you gave me and loosen the girdle." She let the rose fall on the ground. "I will loosen the girdle for you," said Flann. "But loosen it now. How I have to strive to keep truths back, and oh, what pain I am in! Take the Comb of Magnificence, and loosen the girdle." She threw the comb down on the ground. He took up the Rose of Sweet Smells and the Comb of Magnificence and he took the girdle off her waist.
