  1. (continued from previous page)
    laughing and singing. 'Twas then he knew where he was. He was outside in the middle of our field, there at the back of the house.

  2. There was two fellows that used go to Camross for a game of cards every night. They used go the same way home every night across a few fields. And if wan was
    before the other they'd whistle going there. This night this fellow was coming along and he heard the whistle a bit in front of him and he thought 'twas the other fellow (this chum of his) so he hurried on to get up to him.
    When he came to the spot where he thought the other fellow should be he heard the whistle a bit further on. He kept going that way following the whistle, and he was travelling all night, and 'twas just breaking
    day in the morning and where did he find himself do you think, but inside near Lady Dane's in Wexford.
