    In the Parish of Knockanure there lived a man named Patrick Drury. Some years ago he was in service at a farmer's house. One morning he was called early and he replied "Yes". After a while the woman of the house noticed that he was not getting up, so she went to the room door again, and she said, "What is wrong with you, is it sick you are?" Then he said, "It is not sick I am, Ma'am, but I am pulling my shirt from the fleas".
