  1. Long long ago its at Landlord that would rule the land and the people would pay the rent to him.
    If the people would not pay he would put them out of the house. But the Landlord that lived in Coolderry was a very good man: he would not [put] anybody out of a house. His name was Mr. Foster.
    The last Landlord that lived in Coolderry was Mr. Brownlow. There were many people that lived in Coolderry who did not pay anything to him so he put them out of their houses and nobody ever lived in them again.
    But not this long time has there been a Landlord living in Coolderry.
