    Father Barrett was very hot-tempered but he soon forgot it, and was very good hearted at the back of it all.

    "Father Barrett was very hot-tempered but he soon forgot it and was very good hearted at the back of it all." He told his housekeeper not to ever refuse anyone for a bit of bacon if they came for it"
    " For what the bacon?" said I.
    "Oh, the people at this time are very subject to lumps in the neck, and bacon tied in a cloth around the neck was very good to put them back"
