ALTHOUGH only one living man of his own free
will ever went among them there, still, any well-
learned person in Ireland can tell you that the abode
of the Good People is in the hollow heart of the great
mountain, Sleive-na-mon. That same one man was
Darby O'Gill, a cousin of my own mother.
Right and left, generation after generation, the
fairies had stolen pigs, young childher, old women,
young men, cows, churnings of butter from other peo-
ple, but had never bothered any of our kith or kin
until, for some mysterious rayson, they soured on
Darby, and took the eldest of his three foine pigs.
