    her knowledge. Well' anyhow the little man was there sure enough, and I shouted to my sister "Oh Minnie! Minnie! look at the leprechaun"- you know , not like you we spent our evening telling stories about fairies etc... etc... and indeed as often as I have fingers and toes I had heard of the little man that showed you the gold but, mo lean! when I looked again wasn't the little man gone, and although we searched and searched, there wasn't "tásg nár túarisg" of him. But when coming back, didn't. I find a shilling near the style where I saw him, and as you know a shilling that time was worth a pound now- I thought I was in paradise- so let you keep an eye open now for "the little man."
