Touching the derivation of the name Flyback, I confess
myself, with sorrow, equally at fault. Among a multitude of opinions
upon this delicate point- some acute, some learned, some sufficiently the
reverse -- I am able to select nothing which ought to be considered satisfactory.
Notwithstanding the obscurity which thus envelops the date of the foundation
of Vondervotteimittis, and the derivation of its name, there can be no doubt,
as I said before, that it has always existed as we find it at this epoch.
The oldest man in the borough can remember not the slightest difference in
the appearance of any portion of it; and, indeed, the very suggestion of such
a possibility is considered an insult. The site of the village is in a perfectly
circular valley, about a quarter of a mile in circumference, and entirely
surrounded by gentle hills, over whose summit the people have never yet ventured
to pass. For this they assign the very good reason that they do not believe
there is anything at all on the other side.
