    There is a village in Kilmaine called Fountain Hill. It is owned by the Murphy's and Hyland's. Each of them has one half of the house. The door is always left opened. Long ago a man named Sullivan used to be herding for the Murphy's and Hyland's. When Sullivan died his people thought to keep on herding but the Murphy's evicted them and went to live in it.
    Miss Lydon was Landlady of this place.
    Críoch.
