    in to hear his stories.
    Another travelling man named Patsy Courtney used to come.
    He used to go around alone with an ass and cart.
    He used to stop a night in every house.
    He was a very holy man.
    He used to sell rosary beads, holy pictures and other pious objects.
    In every parish that there would be a mission, he would be sure to have a stand and be selling articles.
    This man was very much liked by the people of the district for his numerous stories.
