    went as fast as she could to her home in the sea. I heard the man's name was O'Shaughussy Ballynash Foynes. She stayed with him for seven years and during all that time she spoke very little and only laughed three tmes. One time was when he threw out the water that boiled an egg, and another time she laughed was when someone in the house spilled the salt and the last time was the day she got her cap.
