    Long ago there was a man in Castle Lacken called Bob Blotton. There used to - be a fair in Lacken once a year and Bob Blotton lived a little hut, and every body going to the fair used to have to kiss him There uses to - be two guards one each side of him so that no - body could do anything to him. According how the people would be coming to the fair they'd have to go in and kiss him.
    So one day it came to this fellow's turn to kiss him, and he [?] a stranger, he went in to kiss him and when the man went to kiss him he gave him a thump and killed poor Bob.
