The impression of Lough Derg on Jenny and Bobby

"Wild and gloomy loneliness"

"On prizing up a few loose stones, one exposes heaps of enormous bluebell bulbs, white and skull-like in shape"

"A landscape that is usually a monotonous monochrome of either brown or grey tints"

"High, bleak, purple mountains"

"Rolling, tawny bogland framed the blue water"

"The Chair stands out sharply against the vandyke brown of hibernating heathers and the orange of wilted bracken"
