I bet she's as obedient as any of yours. Well, we'll make a bet. The first man called his wife - "Mary come here." She answered "Wait till I deal the cards."
The next man called aloud "Kate, come down here" Kate replied "Wait till I play this game." The third man - that man who took a chance on the wild cailín - called on his own "Sara" come. Immediately, the cards were flung on the table and away Sara goes to her husband.
The bet was won. This was the result of the good training she was given by her husband. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
