    “Once upon a time there was a priest going on a sick call. He was going on horse back. He had to pass a lime kiln and as he was passing it he heard some beautiful music.”

    Once upon a time there was a priest going on a sick call. He was going on horse back. He had to pass a lime kiln and as he was passing it he heard some beautiful music. He stopped to listen and when it was finished he started to go. He reached the man's house. As he was going in the gate he met a hound coming out and he said "You are late boy, she is mine" That meant that the man was gone to hell. And it was the hounds delayed the priest.
