Transcript:Ga: Sweamh an boladh caife úr isteach san aer sa Seanmhuilinn.En: The smell of fresh coffee floated into the air in Seanmhuilinn.Ga: Bhífadh Cormac os comhair an mheaisín caife, ag cappáil gingerly é le cruinn.En: Cormac was standing in front of the coffee machine, tapping it gingerly with precision.Ga: Chaith sé súil thart.En: He glanced around.Ga: Bhí an áit dubh le daoine mar is gnách.En: The place was packed as usual.Ga: Chuaigh an fuacht geimhridh isteach sna cnámha, ach chabhraigh an caife te leis sin.En: The winter cold seeped into the bones, but the hot coffee helped with that.Ga: Bhí Sorcha ina suí cúpla tábla uaidh.En: Sorcha was sitting a few tables away from him.Ga: Bhí an t-aer bán ag teacht amach as a béal di le gáire, oiríonna iontais idir litreacha agus leabhair scaipthe ar an mbord aici.En: Steam came out of her mouth with laughter, surrounded by scattered notes and books on her table.Ga: Bhí sí ag lorg inspioráide don alt eile a bhí sí ag scríobh.En: She was looking for inspiration for another article she was writing.Ga: Ach chuir rud éigin spéis chúigí inniu.En: But something caught her attention today.Ga: Tháinig ceirteanna ceann ar cheann chuig Sorcha nuair a bhris an litir isteach sa rótéireach.En: Cloths arrived one by one to Sorcha as the letter broke into the routine.Ga: Bhí spéis an-mhór aici ansin ar an bpáipéar donn.En: She became very interested in the brown paper.Ga: Bhí cló galldaí air, agus níorbh fhéidir é a léamh go héasca.En: It had a foreign script on it, and it couldn't be easily read.Ga: Rinne Cormac súil ghéar leis.En: Cormac eyed it sharply.Ga: “Cad é sin?En: "What is that?"Ga: ” ar seisean.En: he asked.Ga: “Litir mistéireach,” a d'fhreagair Sorcha, beagán amhrasach.En: "A mysterious letter," Sorcha replied, a bit suspiciously.Ga: Ghlaoigh an litir orthu, cosúil le péire sean-bhaile.En: The letter called to them, like a pair of old acquaintances.Ga: Cuir cnapán i bhfolach air.En: It concealed a mystery.Ga: Ach bhí Sorcha beagán neirbhíseach.En: But Sorcha was a bit nervous.Ga: "B'fhéidir nach bhfuil sé sábháilte go leor," ar sise.En: "Perhaps it's not safe enough," she said.Ga: D’fhiafraigh Cormac, "Cad má tá rud éigin mór ann?En: Cormac inquired, "What if there's something big there?Ga: Ba mhaith liom a fháil amach.En: I'd like to find out."Ga: "Faoi dheireadh, d’athraigh intinn Sorcha.En: Eventually, Sorcha changed her mind.Ga: Má bhí spéis mhór ag Cormac, ba cheart go mbainfidh sí spéis léi.En: If Cormac was very interested, she should be too.Ga: D'aontaigh sí cabhrú.En: She agreed to help.Ga: Agus b’fhiú an rún seo ghlaoch i gcúinne intinne Sorcha.En: This secret was worth calling forth in the corner of her mind.Ga: Cuireadh iad ar thóir.En: They were put on a quest.Ga: Bhí an litir líonta le físeáin spraíúla agus léinn bhreacach.En: The letter was filled with playful hints and sparse scholarship.Ga: Bhí focal ar shiúl sa chúinne díreach os a gcomhair.En: A word stood in the corner right before them.Ga: "Bleachtaire" léigh sé.En: "Detective" it read.Ga: Rug sé Sorcha le imní, ach níor chuir sé cosc ar Cormac.En: It caught Sorcha with worry, but it didn't stop Cormac.Ga: Nuair a d'éirigh leo suímh agus teachtaireachtaí ón litreacha a thuiscint, tháinig siad chuig tuiscint a bhí faoi shúgradh.En: When they managed to understand locations and messages from the letters, they reached an understanding that was under disguise.Ga: Fear a bhíodh aghaidh i ngach áit sa rótéireach.En: A man whose face was in every place in the routine.Ga: An duine a bhí le feiceáil i bhfad ró-mhinic saor.En: The person who appeared too often free.Ga: Agus an uair seo, b'éigean dóibh é a lorg.En: And this time, they had to seek him out.Ga: "Is d'fhostóir gabha," arsa an seanfhear nuair a thug siad litir dó, leathaoiseach ag tagairt do bhaol.En: "He's an employer of a smith," said the old man when they handed him the letter, half-serious with a note of danger.Ga: "Scrúdú tapa cineál de dhíth.En: "A quick examination of a kind needed."Ga: "Rinne Sorcha réidh.En: Sorcha got ready.Ga: D’fhéadfadh sí an scéal a roinnt le saol mór.En: She could share the story with the world.Ga: D’fhéadfadh sí a ailt a chríochnú anois, a bhí ar iarraidh uirthi.En: She could finish her missing articles now.Ga: Cormac, ar a shlí féin, bhain taitneamh as dúshlán na rúndiamhair seo.En: Cormac, on the other hand, enjoyed the challenge of this mystery.Ga: Ag an deireadh, fhoghlaim an bheirt rud éigin nua.En: In the end, the two learned something new.Ga: Thug Sorcha an inspioráid a bhí á lorg aici le dul ar aghaidh le scéalta comhroinnte.En: Sorcha found the inspiration she was looking for to continue with shared stories.Ga: Agus bhí Cormac sásta le cleachtadh níos doimhne ar anaithnid, b’fhéidir fiú ag smaoineamh ar ghairm bheatha nua mar an gcéanna.En: And Cormac was pleased with the deeper practice of the unknown, perhaps even pondering a new career just the same.Ga: Arsa an cruinniú sin cófra le filíocht: ar bith ach mórintinn neamhchiontach.En: That meeting was like a vault with poetry: anything but a great innocent mind.Ga: Is cosúil gur mearbhall agus cuma gach rud a fheictear, uaigneach sa fhear seo, mór sa bhláth teorann.En: It seems everything seen is confusing and isolated, lonely in this man, great in the blossom of the border.
