  1. (continued from previous page)
    lived long ago and they also tell many stories about ghosts and fairies. We all sit down by the fire and listen to the wonderful tales. We soon get tired of sitting down around the fire as small people always do.
    We then play "lurabog larabog". We usually have great fun while playing that game. We all name a bird for ourselves and there is one person left out and when the clock points ten my mother say it is bedtime. We do not like that because we know all the fun is over for one night.
    I remain,
    Yours Faithfully,
