  1. One night about 10 o'clock there were two men going home from a fair. One was drunk. As they were going along the road they met a man and he asked them to come in for a game of cards. The drunken man said that he would. They went in and when they started cardplaying a rap came to the door. They were told not to play anymore. When the two men left the house to go home somebody stoped them. They could not go hom till the break of day.
