“Long ago there was a school in Ballyhonock.”
Long ago there was a school in Ballyhonock. It was a long low house with three small windows. All the children from the place were going there. The master was a stranger and he lived with a labourer near the school. The fathers of the children paid the master 16 pounds a year. The children learned English and wrote very little on slates. In winter time they had a turf of fire.
