  1. (no title) (continued)

    A girl named O'Grady went to Aclare pattern and was spotted by a man from the wilds of Attymaas.

    (continued from previous page)
    her Aunt’s and told her Aunt go up to her house to stay for the night. She waited in the Aunt’s house. The men came as appointed on horseback and took this old lady with them. When they say what she was like they said that the man that took her mustn’t have much taste. I was a crime then unless they married them after snatching them away. So the wild man from Attymass had to marry the old hag instead of the beautiful young girl he had spotted at the pattern of Aclare.
