Forts - Lios Íochtair (continued)

(continued from previous page)

3. of Maurice O Connell was crossing the fort in his own land when he saw seated by the ditch a tiny cobbler mending shoes. Maurice went towards him and asked him if he would mend shoes for him, the little fellow refused saying he mended shoes only for his own people who paid him for it. Just then sweet strains of violin music fell on Maurice O'Connell's ears and the little shoe maker vanished.
