    however went to Father Garret and told him all about the dinner. When all the guests were assembled Fatehr Garret took his seat at the head of the table, Then the dishes were uncovered and instead of the delicious meat which was placed on them they were filled with an evil smelling substance like manure. The guests could not stand the smell and all left. The host was very troubled and had to beg Father Garret on his knees to return and put the smell away This he did with great reluctance. I don't know whether this priest's name was Father Garret Mí Govern or Father Garret Mí Terman. [?]
