    he ah all the stones he wanted for the castle fell.
    The fair is held near the Rock of Muff. Long ago when parents wanted to coax their children to be good they promised them 1/2d worth of gooseberries from the Fair of Muff.
    This promises was as glibly made in March when gooseberries were not in season, as in July when they were.
    Peggy's leg without a boot, and a ginger-bread man were also promised as féiríní for the good children.
