- A spinning woman used to go about from house to house spinning about 50 yeard ago & she used boast of spinning a pound of wool every day & a pound every night. Of course she used be ag airneáin cois na teine every night & story telling with the servant man. This certain night the cock jumped off the coop (they used be kept in the kitchen then) & began to crow & crow & flap his wings about 12 o'clock.
The man said Peg you or I will go soon & to morrow morning when the woman of the house went to call her she got no answer.
Alarmed at this they called again & again & at last they opened the door & poor Peg na mBí (for that was what she was known by) was dead.
The cock was true & this happened when I was a young girl every word of which I clearly remember.- Collector
