Then the angel went to console Patrick, and cleansed the chasuble, and brought white birds around the Rick, and they used to sing sweet melodies for him." After this kindly act of the angel's, there follows a curious dialogue. It is a long and truly Irish case of bargaining in which the angel acts as " middleman." Patrick is intent on winning as many souls for Heaven as he can wrest from the bargain. He grows petulant and defiant as he makes his demands, and each time he makes his bid, he threa...tens that he will not leave the [87] SAINT PATRICK THE TRAVELLING MAN Reek until it is granted. The angel seems most anxious that he should go, but his votary asks yet further and further blessings. " Thou shalt bring," saith the angel, " yon number of souls out of pain " (as many as the birds that had surrounded the Reek) " and all that can fill the space which thine eye reaches over the sea." " That is not a boon to me," saith Patrick; "not far doth mine eye reach over the sea." " Then thou shalt have both sea and land," saith the angel.
