    (continued from previous page)
    lady who lived in Athy, not very far from here and she always went around in her bare feet and she was the best scrubber in all Athy, she would scrub out a room in a few seconds and would have it as white as snow.
    They were building new houses and the Council said that nobody would scrub the houses when they were finished except this old lady.
    We have no tan yard in this district but there is a town not far from here, Ballitore, and there is a tan yard there.
