OONA: (comes pages 91 and 93
back) Now, hold
your tongue,
Fin, and put on
this nightgown
of mine.

FIN:
(indignantly)
What?! Me put
on the clothes
of a woman?!
Are you trying
to make a fool
of me?

OONA: Trust me, now, Fin. make a fool (exp.):
ver la cara
FINN: (glares at her stubbornly, then gives in with a sigh)

NARRATOR 2: So, grumbling away, Fin put on his wife’s
nightgown. Oona put a white bonnet on his head, then
pushed him toward a cradle in the corner.

FIN: Woman, what do you think you’re doing?!

OONA: (pushing him into the cradle) Just lie down there,
Fin. And you’ll need this baby bottle too. (sticks the bottle
in FIN’s mouth)

FIN: (opening his eyes wide as he gets the bottle) Ulp!

OONA: Now, keep yourself quiet and leave everything
to me.

NARRATOR 3: Just then, Cuhullin came walking up fast to
the house.
