“Once upon a time there lived a man named Jim Nolan. He lived in Tullabrin and he had cousins down in Clara.”
Once upon a time there lived a man named Jim Nolan. He lived in Tullabrin and he had cousins down in Clara. One night about twelve oclock he was coming home from Clara and he was going over the New line and three sidecars passed him one after the other. There was nobody driving nor were there any horses under them.
When he came to Hoban's Bridge he saw a whole lot of little men playing beautiful music and dancing around the Bridge. So Jim was never seen out again at twelve oclock
