… “But just supposing something did happen
to them,” pressed Connavor, “what then?”
*
“Then I’d have revenge,” said Fergus.
“On whom?” Asked Connavor.
“On whomever was responsible.”
“And what of my position Fergus,” said Connavor.
*
“Why, you would be blameless of course,” said Fergus,
“what harm could come to them from your royal hand?”
*
“Excellent,” said Connavor, “I knew you were my man.
I want you to go to the Sons of Ushna in Alba and fetch
them back to Ulster, tarry not on your return but head straight
for Emain Macha where a welcoming feast will await them.”
*
Then, Connavor spoke with Borrach the
hostellier, “you have a feast for me?”
*
“I have as well,” said Borrach, “yet it is too
expansive a feast to bring to Emhain Macha.”
*
“Then save it for Fergus mac Roigh on his
return to Erin,” said Connavor, “it is one
of his bindings never to refuse a feast.” …
*
Never refusing a feast could definitely lead to trouble.
