    ceilidhé again the same boy used to come in again. The father then heard of it but could not keep it back. The girl was very much in love with him and after a couple of years married him, as her father could not stop it, but they lived very happily after for many years, but never forgot the old beggar man and the trick he played on them. He never came back after that and indeed the girl was not sorry.
