I persuaded him and out we went and down and the mare had foaled and the foal was in the dyke as I thought the voice has said. We released the foal and the mare was very excited and we heard the galloping of horses in Mrs Collins’ meadow and on towards Seanbally {(Shanballa) Seanbaile)} and on for McCarthy’s fort.
