foreign lands, and placed this cross over my grave. She thought it was
over the grave of her son it was placed; for she was not able through
grief to recognize her son's grave." "This is the reason that I missed
the cross," said Patrick--"_i.e._, its being over the grave of a pagan."
The cross was afterwards raised by Patrick over the Christian's grave.

One time Patrick's charioteer wanted his horses; he could not find them,
owing to the darkness of the night. Patrick lifted up his hand; his five
fingers illuminated all the place as if they were five torches, and the

Tara. Aengus was foster-son to Laeghaire. He got a special welcome
there. Aengus prayed the door-keepers that they would not admit Conall,
the son of his brother--_i.e._, the son of Enna Crom--into the fort; for
Aengus feared his wisdom in arguing his right. Aengus obtained this
request from the door-keepers. As Conall was outside the _lis_, he heard
the sound of Patrick's bell from Tobar-Patrick at the fort. Conall went
