“About eighty years ago Tom Carbery lived in Boher.”
(continued from previous page)it was her husband and when she spoke, he imitated Carberrys voice and said that he went out to close the door as it was banging with the wind. He succeeded in getting the sheet. When Carberry returned, he found the sheet gone. His wife told him he was a long time shutting the door. He replied that it was long enough for him to lose his money bet anyway.
