  1. A Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    A pal of mine in the R.I. Constabulary when stationed in the banner County told me this tale of the terrible experience of his cousin who had just returned off her honeymoon in Cork city.
    It appears she got wed to a farmer who inherited a substantial farm from his deceased uncle.
    This farm which was some miles from Ballylanders, Co. Limerick, has no residence therein so the new owner had a residence erected and suitably furnished prior to his marriage but did not inhabit it.
    The newly married pair went to their new home on the night of their return from Cork, and all went well so far.
