I lár an bhliain, leannán a bhí sa chroí ag gach duine timpeall Baile Átha Cliath.

In the middle of the year, a lover was at the heart of everyone around Baile Átha Cliath.

Bhí sneachta éadrom ag titim ar Thrá Lí agus croíthe dearga ag lasadh trí na fuinneoga.

Light snow was falling on Trá Lí and red hearts were glowing through the windows.

Bhí an Ceathrú Seans ar an Aer ag síorghluaiseacht ar raidió Saorstát na hÉireann agus bhí Ronan, leabharlannaí tiomanta, ag obair i Leabharlann Choláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath.

An Ceathrú Seans ar an Aer was constantly moving on raidió Saorstát na hÉireann and Ronan, a dedicated librarian, was working in the library of Coláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath.

Bhí Ronan ag grá do na leabhair ní ba mhó ná do dhaoine riamh, ach bhí draíocht faisnéise i Siobhán, staraí bríomhar a bhí ar cuairt, a mheall a chroí.

Ronan loved books more than people ever did, but there was a magical allure in Siobhán, a lively historian visiting, that captured his heart.

Bhog siad anois idir na seilfeanna arda leabhartha, ag cuardach lámhscríbhinn bhrare.

They moved now between the tall bookshelves, searching for a rare manuscript.

Ba mhór an trua ná go raibh an lámhscríbhinn imithe as an áit sin.

It was a great pity that the manuscript had disappeared from that location.

Bhí Siobhán ag iniúchadh faoi mhiotaseolaíocht Cheilteach.

Siobhán was researching Celtic mythology.

Bhí teoiric aici faoin lámhscríbhinn a bhí tabhachtach dá cuid taighde.

She had a theory about a manuscript that was important to her research.

Bhí uaireanta áirithe aici chun an lámhscríbhinn a fháil roimh léacht riméadach.

She had a limited amount of time to find the manuscript before an exciting lecture.

“Caithfimid é a aimsiú, Ronan.

“We must find it, Ronan.

Níl mórán ama againn,” ar sí, agus díograis dearg ina shúile.

We don't have much time,” she said, with a fiery zeal in her eyes.

Bhí Ronan imníoch.

Ronan was anxious.

D’fhéadfadh scannal titim anuas ar an leabharlann dá gcaillfidís an lámhscríbhinn.

A scandal could fall upon the library if they lost the manuscript.

B’fhearr leis dul i dteagmháil leis na húdaráis, ach bhí rud éigin i ndán di ann le Siobhán, a béaloideas béal dorcha ginstil.

He would rather contact the authorities, but there was something in store for him there with Siobhán, her storytelling dark and bewitching.

Le chéile, thosaigh siad ag siúl timpeall an troscán glactha, na seilfeanna atá ag uisce, agus na hallaí ciúine, lena n-aghaidh spíonta le fonn.

Together, they started walking around the reception furniture, the leaking shelves, and the quiet halls, their faces drawn with determination.

Bhí siad sa Sean-Seomra le hurlár péine, na leabharlanna ag iarraidh an lámhscríbhinn a thabhairt chun solais.

They were in the Old Room with a pine floor, the librarians trying to bring the manuscript to light.

Fágadh bealach caol ag dreapadh bun an túr ársa.

A narrow path was left climbing the base of an ancient tower.

D'aimsigh siad stair faoi thalamh a d’oifigíonn paiste caocaochta.

They discovered underground history officiating a blind alley.

Shroich siad seomra ceilte le gléas sofaisticiúil.

They reached a hidden room with a sophisticated device.

Siobhán luadh a staidéar ar mheicníochtaí ársa agus láithreach thug Ronan cúnamh léi.

Siobhán applied her knowledge of ancient mechanisms and immediately, Ronan assisted her.

Tugadh leis a fhios nach bhoinn amháin mórán saorga, ach le chéile, d’oscail siad an meicníocht, ag fágáil solas créalta ag dul in airde ar an lámhscríbhinn ionúin.

It was made known that not alone a lot artificial, but together, they opened the mechanism, leaving a soft light rising upon the cherished manuscript.

Le díograis agus faoiseamh, rith Ronan agus Siobhán ar ais chuig an halla, mar bhí an léachtóir ag teacht isteach chun tosaigh ar an léacht.

With zeal and relief, Ronan and Siobhán rushed back to the hall, as the lecturer was coming in to start the lecture.

Bhí an lámhscríbhinn sábháilte anois.

The manuscript was safe now.

Gaineamh Ronan a féinmhuinín agus thuig sé an rud a thagann le hathrú nuair a théann comhoibrithe idirghníomhartha.

Ronan gained confidence and realized what comes with change when interactions between colleagues occur.

D’aithin Siobhán an tábhacht a bhaineann le pleanáil airneán agus éachtaí ar an bhfoireann.

Siobhán recognized the importance of careful planning and achievements in teamwork.

Agus sa deireadh, ar son an leabharlann a thacaigh leo riamh, d'fhéach siad amach ar an sleánú gealánach trasna ollpháirc an linn snámha.

And finally, for the library that had ever supported them, they looked out at the shimmering green across the swimming pool's vast field.

Is beag ba bheag go rachadh Ronan ag brionglóideach faoi eachtraí nua féideartha—le comhpháirtí nua tagtha isteach ina shaol.

It was only a little while before Ronan would dream of new potential adventures—with a new partner having entered his life.
