Excerpt from Carrageen: And Other Legends Erc's sons were fine, handsome fellows, of whom their father was justly proud; but the softest corner Of his heart belonged to his youngest born, to the daughter whom death was threatening to take away. NO wonder, then, that the chief was sad at heart, and that his people sorrowed with him, feeling little inclination for the games and dances, the eating and drinking, with which they had celebrated Mid summer's Eve in former years. How different it had all been but one short year ago! Then they had ushered in the day with befitting ceremony, had spent most of it in games and mimic warfare; and the prizes had been presented to the victors by Aslauga herself, who afterwards welcomed the entire village to the great feast at her father's house, and had so gaily led off the dancing which finished the doings Of the great holiday.
