    (continued from previous page)
    Mr. Bill Linane, decided to leave his employer (in Elton), after dinner. He went upstairs & got his parcel of shirts etc.
    The employer's wife: "Are you going away, William?
    William: No, Ma'am, they are taking me away"
    (William feared the fleas)
    In another employer's house a herring was placed on one plate for William & a fellow worker. William (Bill) cut a potato & put half on one eye of the herring because, he explained, if the herring saw the two hungry men it would leave the plate.
