    was a nice flag over it, which they brought in and put at the back of the fire. There was writing on the back of it but no one understood the meaning of it. One night a poor scholar came who stopped at Lewis house. He saw the letters on the flag at the back of the fire, he got the flag out from behind the fire and got it cleaned, and what the words meant was that there was as much more at the other side so Shaun Handy got his fortune in Waterford and lost it in Kilkenny through drink.
