    Jim hurried home from mass one Sunday.

    Jim hurried home from Mass one Sunday. He wished to visit his friends who were living in Cork. At about ten o' clock he set out on foot.
    When he reached Cork he was tired and he stayed there till Monday night. At eleven o' clock he thought of returning home.
    He was about half way home when he saw on the side of the road a small house. He went in. In the house there were a hundred people or so. They all seemed to know him and they kept him in the house that night.
