“There was an old man names Dudley who owned a shop in Garnish...”
(continued from previous page)He was in Castletown another night and as it was getting late he agreed to take a lift long with a Dursey crowd that were in town the same day. They were coming out in a lorry. When it was near time to be leaving he came along to the garage and all the Dursey crowd were there ahead of him. They were making a share of noise - talking and arguing - as they had a share of drink taken likely, and when Dudley saw them he stood at the garage door.
" A very noisy crowd," says he, "I think I'd rather walk."
He started off and walked it all the way to Garnish.

“When going to the fairs people used often see a hound...”
When going to fairs people used often see a hound sitting up on the fence near Dan Shea's of Cloghera. There was no hound in the district so it couldn't be anything from this world.
