These he tossed up one after the other. Each needle went into the eye of the other, till in that wise they were joined together. He returned to the women, and gave each her own needle into her hand. The young braves praised Cuchulainn. Whereupon they bade farewell to the king, the queen, and household as well.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
