   Once upon a time a woman died about eleven oclock in the morning and all the neighbours were in at the wake. All of them went home about six o'clock intending to come back at eight. At half past seven when all the people were at home Dannie Ryan of Kyle went into the wake and when he saw no one inside he went up to the corpse and put a pipe in her mouth. Then he went outside and waited at the back window to see the sport. After some time the people came back and looked into the front window. They got such a fright that they ran away and the report was out that the dead woman was seen smoking a pipe.
