- (continued from previous page)cottage which she loved so well, the last day of the time she allowed to stay in the cottage soon came around and Katie was preparing to leave her home. Then suddenly a small voice bade her stay and out of a hole in the wall came the king and queen of the fairies the leprecaun and many more faries.
Just then the landlord drove up in his coach, and the queen went over to him and said, !If you do not give your castle and earthly goods to Katie Mc Moore you shall be bewitched as long as you may live." The landlord who was afraid willingly gave the castle and every he owned to Katie who settled down to a new life of comfort and luxury. She gave much of her money to religious requirements, and later her name was given to a street.
- Old Sayings
God be good to you, a form of thanks used by some persons when they'r getting alms.
God bless us and save us, used by persons when they hear of some tragic happening.
Shes as good as gold.
It's as right as rain, or it's as firm as a rock.
