- About six years ago there was a man named Thomas Lernihan who had two bad feet, and one night the young folk of Leitrim made a plan on a frosty evening to bring him out on the frost. Three of them dressed up in good clothes as two men and a woman. They came to this man's house and Thomas heard that there was a yankee coming home to John Lernihan's house.
