    Share Share Tweet
    Meara was a great lepper. the marks of his feet were down there in the far corner where he jumped from one hump to the other.
    One day when he was running to the town there was a car with a widow and her daughter in it before him on the road. He jumped over horse car and all, but he never jumped afterwards.
