(continued from previous page)Miscellaneous.It appears Tim says, that Fionn came into contact with Cairbre in a friendly way on one occasion. Fionn through an agent of his (probably one of the Fianna) made overtures to Cairbre's wife, and well, Fionn was a handsome and most attractive fellow, the which is not said about Cairbre. Cairbre's wife was not opposed to Fionn's proposals. The result of Fionn's courtship caused trouble between himself and the King. As to whether it was Cairbre's wife or some other lady was Fionn's adoree for the occasion, was the cause of the argument between the two old men. One stoutly maintaining it was, while the other as stoutly held the contrary view. Tim remembers no more of the story, but recalls that the two old men named different members of Fionn's or Cairbre's following in support of their argument.(no title)
